    Well done. The original course starting from Kidderminster had a much harder start and went up the Glider station side of the Mynd as well for extra pain lol.. Still a classic course any old which way its routed though..

      Thanks for watching. I think the wind noise made the recording a little troublesome....

    Geez, I would be worried as well!!! That's a lot of kilometers :-) :-) :-) :-) Safe riding to you in 2019. If you ever come out to the outskirts of Madrid to ride, look me up :-) :-) retired too!

      Hi there, sorry am only now getting around to replying to you. Thanks so much for your comments on this ride. It most definitely was a lot of kilometres in a day-can't really believe I did it now. My husband and I did come to Madrid, a couple of years ago now, just for a couple of days when he was on a work do there and we took our bikes. We discovered a great cycle path that leads out to the hilly areas-used by loads of cyclists...you probably know it well-it was fabulous and of course down hill all the way back. Fabulous place to live, though I guess pretty hot in the middle of summer! This retirement lark is pretty good isn't it! Enjoy your riding!

      @@rollininretirement that's fantastic that you and your husband can ride together!! And visit different places to cycle. Yes, it gets very hot in Spain in the summer, good hydration is a must on long rides. Safe riding to you both :-) :-)

    great video, awefully brave to go out without a "shelter"..... could do with what i use,, a DD hammocks super light Tarp and a couple of tent poles, to make an A Frame shelter under which your sleeping bag etc can go, it if rains during the night........youre covered !

    • @rollininretirement
      @rollininretirement 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Matt I do have a tarp now and use my bike as a 'tent pole' at one end. I didn't take a shelter on this occasion as we hadn't had rain for a while and none was forecast.

    • @mattlast4093
      @mattlast4093 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      good thinking, keeps the bike somewhat dry too ;-)

    I did this ride a few years ago with a few mates, we started in Brecon though and went clockwise, must do it again, comes within 32km of my house

    • @rollininretirement

      As I started in Rhayader Guto I decided to do it anti-clockwise as I wanted to see the Elan valley and the mountain roads down to Llandovery in daylight. Wonderful scenery. You're very lucky to live where you do!
