Audio was awful
@kiwicrest3743 What !! 😉 It is just a GoPro that picks up everything around it , so it can get muffled here and there. Thankyou for watching 👍
Nice one Bob, a cracking day for it 👍
Thankyou @theralphster8492.🙂 I was definitely a good day to be out and about on the bike 😎
Bob, you were briefly in the true capital of England, Liverpool 😉
I dipped my toe in @fucktheworld., pity the route didn't pass along the waterfront.. Thanks for watching 👍 🙂
What is an “Audax “ ? and how do get involved
Audax is generally long distance cycling, but they start at 50km and go up 1000km and beyond. You can find more information on the Audax UK site. Thanks for watching Ossie👍
Nice one Bob, entertaining and informative as usual. Cheers
@@user-mm4yt9qz6x 👍Thankyou Nigel 😉
Great video, it looks like a very scenic route. I took notice when you stopped at the Shell gas station at 165km mark as that would have been my longest ride with my goal of 200km this year. I doubt I’ll finish it the way you did, not looking at all fatigued! Good job👍
Thankyou @rob9753👍 Don't worry I'm always ready to put my feet up and have a sit down afterwards. I'm sure you'll be fine with going up to 200km as165km/100miles is not to be sniffed at , so hat's off to you . Might see you on the road 😉
Nice video, St. Asaph is my home City, I've just got back into cycling myself, trying to get fitter.
Thanks @pikefisher1978, 👍 You've have some me nice roads in your area to cycle on. Best of luck with your cycling and getting fitter
I think it’s called b@stard hill 🤣🤣🤣
I called it that and few other names on the way up 😉
Great ride Bob. I'm trying to guess what model bike your riding. Is it a Giant Revolt ?
Thanks Ian 👍 It's a Giant Defy advanced 2 , which is on the Shimano 105 . I've swapped the the wheels and Crank to some Hunts alloy and GRX . I also use a alloy cannondale synapse
Great vid again Bob. I know I've asked you before, but what is the camera mount you're using? I've got an onboard one and the images vibrate like mad - even with the horizon stabilisation feature enabled.
Thanks Russ 👍 The mount is the official Gopro handlebar/ Ski pole mount. I've tried the ebay ones and they're cheaper, but they rattle. I use a Gopro 9 on 1080hd , linear setting with horizon lock and stabilisation on. I don't use the boost. Hope this helps
@@Bijou-Bob Thanks mate, it helps massively. I'll have a look at my settings and check out that mount. The wife will hate me for buying more gadgets 😂😂
Pleasure Russ
Nice one Bob, shame about the rain… cheers
You know how it is with the weather Nigel 😉
Great video again and very inspiring
Thankyou Jez 👍 Great to hear you liked it
Does dodging the rain while putting on your jacket count as loitering 😁 well done on the ride, looked like some lovely roads, at least the rain was on the homeward leg.
Stopping to put the rain jacket on isn't loitering , but is dangerous as it could lead to it if you're not careful 😉.
@@Bijou-Bob Yep, thin end of the wedge.
Yes! it's a slippery slope alright 👍
You are correct in thinking that Maer is associated with Darwin.🙂 I assume this was on Sunday? We were on the Tour Of The Berwyns starting from Duddon, Cheshire. The forecast was for heavy thundery downpours later in the day, so we were trying to make sure we got back ahead of the downpours. As it turned out a pothole in Chirk finished my ride (completely knackered tyre, wheel ok, thank goodness), but my riding buddy managed to get back just before the rain hit. It's a great route if you fancy trying it, but it does have a fair bit of climbing in Wales.
It was the same Sunday as your Berwyns ride which I've looked at to ride in the future at some point Sorry to hear about you being unlucky with the tyre , but at least your buddy was lucky getting back before the downpour hit. Yes! that Darwin liked to keep it in the family . 😉
Sue the council for the damage to your bike. If everybody sued the councils for the damage to their vehicles caused by these god awful roads then the government and the council would start to maintain them.
@@MrChippiechappie I am tempted to be honest. At the very least I think they have to repair them if reported. The poor state of the roads really takes a lot of the enjoyment out of riding at the moment.
You don't even break sweat do you. Big respect to you. However you misjudged that weather. It was forecasted to be coming in from ghe southwest, which it did. It caught you out without the right gear in my opinion. You're a hard man.
Thanks👍 The downpour was that heavy that I don't think any gear would have kept the rain out
Our Blighty weather is a bleeding joke 🤣🤣🤣
You're right there 😉 Always take your waterproof with you
Audaxing is something I'd like to get into, but I need a road bike. At the moment I'm done in after 70km, but that is on my single speed mountain bike. Have you done a bike video showing your bike and kit you use, any starter tips?
I've seen a couple of people on flatbar hybrids riding audaxs, but a road bike is probably best for comfort and speed. Audax rides start at 50km so you could start there to get a feel for them👍. I haven't done bike/kit film, I might in the future 🤔 Give it a go , I'm sure you'll like it
Well done...186.4 miles just like that, over night 👌🏻 I couldn't do it 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thankyou 👍 Overnight and into late Sunday afternoon. Don't worry I knew I'd done it by the time we reached the end. 😉
You're all very good, and i dont know how you crack off those miles.
Thankyou 👍 I don't know how I do the the miles either😉 There are plenty who do them faster than me too.
Ah, the magic of Mike's pop up cafe at Dinky's!
Yes Paul 👍 Mike and Terry provided a sanctuary in the middle of a cold dark night 🫖☕️🙂
Nice video Bob, another quality production
Cheers Nigel 👍, You played your part nicely 🙂
Well done Bob, keep knocking 'em out!
Cheers Garry 👍 Nice to know you enjoyed watching 🙂
Fantastic ride Bob. Will hopefully see you on some audax's soon, had some time off (fasting for ramadhan).
Thankyou 👍 It'll be nice to see you again
Excellent, I hear Nora Batty’s doing a new line in leg warmers…
Cheers Nigel 👍 It was a good day out, but no so much for Mike's support stockings 😉
I was going to do this one but was too late getting my entry in. Doh! 🤦♂️
Unlucky Christopher 🤦, it's a nice route. Sometimes if you message the organiser they can get you on as they have people who let them know they can't ride.👍
Your like the pied piper 😂
@fucktheworld1207 Don't think he meant to lead us up the garden path 😉
In a crazy messed up world, isn't it refreshing that people like Wayne and his family are out there, still some decent humans beings left on this spinng rock we are living on in the Universe.
Well done that man 👌🏻
Appreciated 👍
You could have popped in for a brew at my gaff!
I might take you up on that offer 😉👍
well done matey on that did my first Audax on sunday the Mere Century a lot shorter than yours tho! 👍
I love looking for potholes in the floods. I’ll stick with tubes thanks very much 🤣🤣🤣🤣
thank you for the video
Try Newport Gwent. Fab City.
Excellent video. My first audax is on 24 Feb - doing the Sunrise Express...
Cheers Craig 👍 I'm sure you'll be fine with your 1st Audax, Enjoy 🙂
This was fun to watch!
Great video Bob, was nice meeting you on the ride.
Hard luck Bob, great videos keep it up. Shame you didn't get to ride PBP although I can confirm it was very very hot 🥵🔥
@markhammond8933 Thankyou Mark 👍 Nice to hear you like them 🎥 There's always next time for PBP , if I qualify 😉
Very impressive!
Thanks Kathryn🙂👍
Well done Bob. Have a great Christmas
Thankyou Nigel🙂 Mike was filling me in on some of your exploits on PBP during the ride, ( I was following you both on the tracker)Hat's off and a Merry Christmas to you 🎅
i ride 41 to 50 klms per day, done in 3 rides. How long did this take you guys?
Good riding Bob! Have a lovely Christmas. 🎉
Through a red light Bob, naughty naughty 😂
You're right 🚦🙄 James No excuses 😉
Are you on Strava?
No worries (I do too) . I asked because I am just starting (about to start) doing audaxs at the age of 57! I have signed up for LEL and wondeered how fast typical audax cyclist go (I am slow). I am from a running background - so all the people on my Strava are runners. Thanks for the videos - it is all very informative :) @@Bijou-Bob
I’ve enjoyed video well done thanks.
Thankyou @sandykeith5652 🙂 Nice to know you have enjoyed watching
Hope it isn't raining on Sunday...
Hopefully not Richard, its not guaranteed though 😉
@@Bijou-Bob it never dawned on my it's actually your event until I emailed you just now. 😁
@@BikepackingAdventures You're right Richard it is😉 Hopefully get to have chit chat with you at some point on Sunday.
Nice ride! 13:51 13:52 Roads look so narrow. I will never complain about our roads here in the US. What was the temp during this ride? Also, what was your ride time?
Nicely done!
Chapeau Bob. Have you cleaned all the mud from every crack and crevice yet? Grim conditions!!
Nice one Bob, no loitering on this ride 👍
Thanks @theralphster8492👍 The weather put a stop to any loitering taking place 😉
