Well done Swansea Council for installing a new imaginative bike path 🙌 Yes I will watch the climbing tips video soon - just been a bit busy following TOB etc ⛰🚴♀️👍
Really interested in what you said about heart rate for endurance rides. I’ve not been able to find any information online about riding to power vs HR once your HR starts to drift. Typically my HR is usually one zone above my power Z2 and I never know whether to back off and lower my HR or press on at Z2 power. I think this would make a great video in itself as there seems to be very little or no information out there on the subject.
HR is too much of a minefield to discuss in such a small comment box but the jist of it is that most endurance riding should be done based on feel really, and not so much power. HR plays a part though because it's the body's response to the workload, so as you get past a certain duration, changes will be occurring that may be out of your control. There could be a deeper cost to allowing that drift to keep going rather than pegging it back.
My regular bike route is the Swansea to Ystalyfera bike path but I'll ride over to check out that new one.

You were very polite when describing the people who'd use it. It's in Townhill 😂
If you know, you know.
It's a bike trail here in ohio that has the same type of climb very similar to that one very . Going to take pictures and send to you .
Perfect for e-bikes!
That's really cool. Quality job.
Amazing mini Alpe D’Swansea🤘
Thanks Ed.

you should make a full video about the climb, I wanna know the stats
Cool!
Is there a Strava segment?
Yes!
If Carlsberg did bike paths......
You’ve got a different heart monitor now Ed Rather than the wahoo one?
Yes, a cheap one from amazon, the wahoo one broke.
@@edlaverack I thought you were sponsored by wahoo Ed obviously wrong.
