    That was great! Lovely blue skies. Interesting route, although those big lorries roaring past looked scary.

      Yes that 50 mph road was a little on the scary side! 😳But we did survive to tell another tale! 😉

    Great ride Mike and Julie very well done, nice scenery along the way also a few busy roads which could be a bit unnerving. Enjoy your week.

      Shame they closed that cycle route to put us on that dual carriageway but it was only for about a mile thank goodness! 😳😉 Cheers Terry!

    Croeso Y Cymru, glad you made it safely. Hope you ride further west as the scenery gets much better however, I'll be shocked if you rode north up through the Valleys to Brecon Beacons although the Monmouthshire Canal is the easiest way. I'll just have to wait for your next episode. Da iawn!

    • @WheelersAtLarge

    Hello to The Wheelers! Really enjoying your videos! Lots of familiar sights. Have you ever caught the chain ferry over to Studland and cycled to Corfe? Nice off road trail with bakery at the end. Not many tunnels for YeeHaa-ing though so maybe not worth it 😉 Thanks for sharing, top stuff.

    • @WheelersAtLarge
      @WheelersAtLarge  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Jo and thanks for the comment 👍 Yes, we use the chain ferry and ride on and off road through the Purbecks. I particularly enjoy riding in the Purbecks as my eardrums don't get assaulted by Julie's "YEEHAA!" quite as often 😂😂👍

    • @WheelersAtLarge

      Until recently there was a toll to drive across the bridge into Wales but it was free to get out 😂👍 I just looked it up, the tolls were removed in 2018.

    Another great ride. Mike, what is the handlebar bag you're using on this ride? I'm getting a new Trek Checkpoint SL5 next month, and am looking for a bar bag.

    • @WheelersAtLarge
      @WheelersAtLarge  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks John. That's a 'no brand' bag I picked up cheap from a local supermarket, a one off deal. I would say it's similar in size to the Podsac Handlebar bag by PlanetX. Plenty of room for a couple of days worth of clothes and a down jacket. Enjoy your new bike👍

    That looked like an adventure! I’ve often though about riding from home to Cardiff, but the route around/through Bristol always puts me off as it’s so awful in places. Has this given you the bug for a longer multi day adventure?

    • @WheelersAtLarge
      @WheelersAtLarge  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes we will be doing more of this in the future but better now that we've had some practice. Hopefully 😁

    • @WheelersAtLarge
      @WheelersAtLarge  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If you came up through the tunnels and along the trail to Bristol city centre getting out the other side isn't bad at all. The route closure with the lorries was about a mile. Newport is the bit to miss if you can and just think of all those hills you can ride to the north getting around it 😁

    • @DarrenPhillips
      @DarrenPhillips 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@WheelersAtLarge Komoot tries to route me along the Avonmouth bridge and I’m not sure if it’s over or under the M5. That section they’ve closed seems a bit daft and unnecessary, as I haven’t seen a closure yet, that you couldn’t get by on a bike or by walking. Not sure what they were thinking!!
