  • Hey guys and welcome to another video. This past weekend I did three gorges with my cycling club. A recent poll showed that this is our groups favourite route, so why not ride it again :) We were greeted with a beautiful sunrise followed by misty descents, brisk climbs and some fantastic baked goods at the bakery to top it off at the end. I was also on a little side quest to beat my personal best on one of the climbs. Watch the video to see if I succeed in my endeavour.
    I hope you're enjoying my cycling vlogs. If you are keen to see more please like and subscribe, it helps out the channel greatly and put me one step further on my personal goal to reach 5000 subscribers by the end of the year! Thank you
    By the way; if you are keen to ride this route I made a guide on it a while ago: • Sydney Cycling Guide: ...

    oh, you rode straight past Somerville Road again. if you want to add even more spice, take it all the way down to Crosslands. it’s a good surface save for two (repaired) potholes that Murphy decreed should be on the fast bits. but then you gotta do the return climb.

      Haha yes I still need to go down there. I’ll try and convince the group next time :P

    Great ride both ways, but I prefer going anticlockwise; Much prefer climbing up the switchbacks - much as maybe drivers can be more problematic that way, either feeling cyclists are too slow going down the gorge and taking up too much space on the switchbacks. Love the videos.

    • @joshkwan
      @joshkwan  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks mate, the anti clockwise direction is definitely harder. Climbs are steeper that way 😂

      Thanks brother. I’m finding myself enjoying the ‘flow’ of editing more and more. Biggest struggle these days is finding suitable music.

    Great one! Came at the perfect time, was trying to decide to ride before work this morning or not and this pushed me out of bed onto the road!

    When we’re feeling frisky, the Dawn Patrol does 6 gorges. 3 out and then 3 on the way back. Great way to get some climbing in 👍

      May as well tack on Akuna too ;)

    The Gorges route is a golden favourite, you should Bobbo on the way out to make it the 4 Gorges which is popular 👍
    Hey Josh, tell the guy who's dropping onto to the top tube on the descents not to do it on a bunch ride, those descents are a little bumby and if he goes down he'll bring all of you down, at high speed that will be very messy.

    • @joshkwan
      @joshkwan  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Haha I love the spirit, looking for one more climb to round it off 😜

    • @joshkwan
      @joshkwan  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Hey Josh,
    I'm a big fan of your content - it has inspired me to sell my fixie and get a road bike instead so I can take a crack at some of the rides you post.
    Are routes like this one that are mostly not on cycle paths safe?

    • @joshkwan
      @joshkwan  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      What an honour to inspire a fellow cyclist.
      My advice mate is to do the ride early in the morning or on the weekend. Berowra and Bobbin head should be fine. Galston Gorge is a is a thoroughfare for cars from the northern area of Sydney so can get busy at times.
      All the best! Remember to ride with flashing lights or highly visible clothing

  • @JulAlxAU
    @JulAlxAU 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    You should have gone the other way around. Berowra West is much harder! 😅

    • @joshkwan
      @joshkwan  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Haha I agree. So is bobbin west. 😂😂
