    Josh, that one made me smile from the point that I used to live in Melbourne and do all the regular rides, I now live in Bendigo and everyday is like this ride at any time of the day, I’d never go back to the city now, combine that with gravel at my doorstep and the decision of which bike to ride is now a hard one. 😊 Great video they just keep getting better, keep it up. 👏🏻👏🏻 One thing I will say and you’re to be congratulated on it, is you don’t bang on about watts all the time like nearly every other cycling TH-camr. The watts discussion becomes tiring and for a normal cyclist like me, it just makes me feel inferior. That’s why I love your channel. You just get out and ride for the enjoyment that it should be. So thanks. 👍🏻

      Thanks for the kind words mate. I’m glad you’ve found a beautiful place to ride your bike.
      When I was a newer cyclist I used to obsess over the data and the watts a lot more. Now a days, I prefer the rides for the scenery and social aspect. But I do enjoy a little hit out every now and then ☺️

    1:08 5min from my place. Less in a car. Welcome to the South West! Plenty of cycling routes around here, not marked as such but minimal traffic. Also plenty of family friendly cycling infrastructure in the suburbs built in the last 25 years or so. Well done to Camden Council!

    Yes Josh! The countryside is where it's at! Quiet roads, beautiful scenery decent dose of nature. In fact the more you're in nature the more fun it gets - we'll have you riding gravel again in no time - Hehe - just don't choose the most grueling, broken and rough, backwhacks roads! Head up into the Blueys some more. If you dont like saddle bags try an under the top tube bag, aero and super convenient for grabbing snacks on the move, you may need to change the front bottle cage to a side loader. I resisted bags for ages but after trying them am a total convert. Carrying stuff on your back sucks balls.

    • @joshkwan
      @joshkwan  19 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      I agree, I need to do some gravel. Just don’t have the time. I wish there was some nicer gravel routes near my front door, but I’ve accepted the fact I will need to travel a little if I want to enjoy the good stuff.
      Thanks for the suggestions RE bags

    Another very long time Camden resident here (45-ish years). Just moved up to the mountains. Great to see others finding the local roads. Some good runs through Wallacia from that Burragorang/The Oaks location. Very quiet back roads. Another one to stretch the legs with a lot of climbing - Richmond start and then do Bells Line of Road out to Bell. For extra sportiness - then across to Katoomba and then 50+Km of downhill back to Penrith. Whole loop is about 160km IIRC. Super low gearing is a must for some of the pinches in the first part of the climb so it might be easier doing it the other way around - up the GWH, across to Bell and then down.
