- In this video we take you on a cycling tour to Lake Bala or Lleyn Tegid as it is otherwise referred to in Snowdonia's national park and what a great place it is to ride your bike.
if you are a keen road cycling enthusiast and are looking for ideas of places to go for a ride, then why not take a moment to watch my some of my cycling adventures.
With high speed descending, cafe rides, maps with data and so much more.
I'm a cyclists and I live in the Pennines (On tour)

Great video again Daz. It seems you are mastering the editing and narration as your videos seem to keep getting better and better. Your channel imo is the best cycling one on TH-cam as you just focus on the enjoyment of the ride, tell the story rather than focusing on training plans and Strava data.
That's a really great bit of feedback and I am greatful for your comments, first and foremost , thank you 👏
The editing takes me ages to put a video together and I don't claim a penny from what I do either.
I have watched several other cycling related channels who are at " influencer " levels and receive tens of thousands of views and subscriptions and I often wonder how they have become so big.
I don't think the TH-cam algorithms offer a fair opportunity to all channels.
Once again , thanks for your great comments Cwil and take care....
MrDazP1.
Lovely video Daz . It was lovely as always too see you again . Many thanks for the kind words ☺️ .
Hope to see you on a river real soon matey
Cheers Rob, will do and take care pal.
Chapeau on a good ride. I’m looking forward to the next adventure.
Thank you Tim, I think we are on the Road trip to Chester for the next video and it was warm ! 😩
Fantastic ride . Congratulations on another brilliant video
Thanks Levi, I wish that I could film all of it because there are so many great views and things to see on these rides.
great ride again lads! just back from a prospecting adventure myself! the community is missing your no1 teachings buddy!!!
The cycling has gone from strength to strength this year Lewis with new cafes and new places. I've hardly got any time to go to the rivers but
I am hoping to start editing a few gold panning videos in the next few weeks .
Hope you are well buddy 👍
Top job allways a big big 👍 from brother tyson keep up the hard work as watching u helps my videos get better as your video s thr way u put them togever is amazing top job
Thanks 👍 Diggersden, keep on editing and making the content the best you can buddy
Well done Daz another great video, suprised that the A roads looked pretty quite you were on which was good you are a flying machine on those desents.
Please check in advance of ur next cafe stop that they do black puddings that will cheer Mike up 🤣🤣😎🚴♂️🚴♂️👊👍
Cheers Terry , we are at Ambleside right now and guess what , they don't do Black puddings.😂
Nice video pal, used to take my daughters to Bala when they were younger kayaking and mountain biking, I’ll have to give it another visit with my road bike. Pity about the football, could have used a great old joke I heard there years ago, Ruthin nuthin Rhyl nil👍⚽️🚴🏼♂️
It is a lovely place to visit for sure and there's gold in them there hills too !
I am liking the Ruthin nothing line too, made me chuckle that one.
bloody hell bro what a ride and the story tellings always the hook for me appreciate the effort you put in another quality vid daz goodonya cheers
Thanks Tazy T, they take a bloody age to edit but it's all part of the hobby. I've a few more cycling ones to get through then I should be putting some gold panning videos out again.
Autumn is on it's way now over here. It's cold in the mornings and gets warmer a bit later on in the day.
Great ride and video again Darren. 😊👍
Thanks Steve, I enjoyed this ride.
New hat Daz? I got a Giro myself after I cracked my other lid when I came off a few months ago.
Love North Wales, considering how close I live to it, I definitely need to get out there more next year!
Great Yorkshire Sportive for me in a few weeks, starts in York and heads towards Castle Howard’s through to near Scarborough on the east coast before heading back. That way I’ll have the Lancashire and Yorkshire sportive medals to add to the collection. 😎
Hello John, a few points raised there. The new hat is nice and comfy but I got to match the socks lol.
Best of luck with the sportive, I will Check it out on the internet.
As for Wales, it's just a fab place to visit as I am sure you are aware.
It felt a bit cold early doors on the bike today too, I guess Autumn is creeping upon us now.
brilliant video, well done lads.
Cheers Matt, what a day 😛
Great video
Thank you Andy 👍
Nice one guys 👍
Cheers Robert 👍
Great video as always👍👍
Nice one Nick, there was so much to see on this ride and sometimes the camera doesn't do it justice.
That looked like a lovely trip out!! Still no black pud for Mike. There's gotta be some somewhere!!
I really enjoy cycling around them parts Di as I do in the Dales and the Lakes. They are all special places.
We spoke to a cafe owner in Malham the other week and she said that they don't do Black puddings because there's not enough people requesting them 😥
Mike is a secret Victoria sponge lover you know, which might feature on some videos ...
Great video again daz 👍🏼
Thanks James 👍
Great Vid of you and Black Pudding Ali G. Back on my bike last ight after two week holiday and I can tell i've had a rest. Working to get my fitness back up now and make sure i kaintain it over the winter when I eat and drink more than I should. 🐖
Sometimes a change is as good as a rest James and the fortnight off will have done you good. It's always a great feeling to build the fitness back up and I'm sure you will get there.
I'm not looking forward to cold dark winter nights training, but guess that's what we all subscribed to when we embarked upon this cycling hobby.
Cool trip - thanks! I stayed in Bala in 2019 and recognized lots of that, Ruabon - Bala. Pre-gold prospecting days unfortunately, or I would have brought my pan with me! :o)
There were a few bridges I stopped at on this ride to look for Bedrock in the rivers. There is an old gold mine here, I featured it on one of my videos from last December.
Another great video Daz. 👍🏻 I’ve just come back from a week in Wales with the family having done some cycling and fishing on Anglesey.
It would be great if you and Mike could have a trip up my way in Northumberland some time. Some great country roads and cafes around here. 🚴 ☕️🍰
Thanks Sam, I need to keep looking for new places to ride.
I went mountain biking a few years ago up at Kielder forest and also I would have to research if there were any rivers up that way which were gold bearing and kill two birds with one stone, so to speak.
You can't beat Anglesey for cycling either.
Thanks for this Daz. Now winter is here my goal is to watch all your films I didn’t get to see earlier in the year.
Thank you Sophie, I hope you are well. I've just finished a little 70 miler right now (It's 5:55pm and I'm having a couple of pints outside in the dark just to replenish my levels )
I hope to get out to that cafe near Heysham soon too
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures my friend and I are doing a 5km run from the Cafe tomorrow. 70, well done I managed 26 today my first proper ride in 3 weeks. It was the ‘slow boat to heysham’ I nearly called it that online 😁
Let's hope the weather holds out for you.
Hello Daz, long time since I hitched a ride, have been out of commission since having covid a year ago, it’s left me shattered and has destroyed my immune system, I guess I was lucky to survive, catching up with you on your video is wonderful, you look a picture of health I’m quite envious, to think fifty years ago I could have out raced you 😅 only kidding! but I did spend many days speeding around the Derby’s Peak District on my Raleigh Racer, little to no cars in those days, amazing memories, take care, I’ll catch up with you in the spring 🤞
Hi Bernice, I am so sorry to hear such news but the fact that you are still here tells me that you have some real inner resolve. Covid has no place here so good on you.
We just need to get through the next couple of months and then our spirits will be lifted as spring approaches.
I could hear the birds singing yesterday which is always a nice thing.
I have come across a nice Raleigh from the late 80*s early 1990's .
It's a 10 speed Raleigh Pioneer
It has kept me busy throughout this month as I have stripped it down to every conceivable part .
It has been quite a rewarding project and to give an old bike some new life has given me some focus away from the humdrum of daily work and life.
Take care Bernice.
Kind Regards Darren..👍
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures Hi again, Yes I’m a tough old cookie, and refuse to give up, my inner strength came in handy last week when I made the mistake of having an endoscopy without any sedation, I knew I couldn’t have anaesthetic because of my allergies, but I was offered sedation at the last minute, but couldn’t make a snap decision had I realised it was a trainee doing the procedure I sure would have, it was the most horrendous experience I have ever encountered! Plus it was my worst nightmare come true, anyway it’s nice to hear you have been giving an old Raleigh a new lease of life, you must be very clever to take on the challenge, but I think you will know bikes inside out, I acquired my Raleigh age fifteen it was gifted to me by my brother-in-law as it was always missing when he needed it! 😂😇😊thanks for your reply Darren, Best wishes Bernice.
Good vid buddy, looked like you enjoyed it 🙂 Hope you're keeping well
Hi Dave, all is well at this end. It looks like you are doing really well on the fishing side of things. Have you been out to a river recently pal ( with a pan )
Another great video, I have 2 separate weeks in Wales one in May and another in July although I don't take a cycle with me the roads are a dream to drive on unlike the rubbish in Berkshire. It made my evening seeing your new video brilliant , thank you.
Hello Brian, I recall driving down these roads before the national lockdown in March 2020 and saw no cars for 30 miles . Great driving and cycling roads for sure.
I learned that the Y in things that say like" yee old tavern", is a medieval letter called a thorn ,and is the precursor of "th" . So "yee "is actually "the" .
Thanks for sharing Corey , it's all interesting stuff
Another good video Daz, i film all my big bike rides but when i watch the footage back they are not that interesting with just the footage, you have a way of narrating that's full of information and that keeps it interesting. Will look forward to the next one ! P . s i recently bought a bar end wing mirror for my drop bars its about the size of a 2 pence slightly larger and goes into the bar end, you can hardly tell its there. Its a handy piece of kit id recommend checking them out.
Thank you Jonathan . The editing seems to take me ages these days in oder to be able to tell the story and to keep the videos flowing.
I do enjoy this side of the cycling hobby too and for me it's just about sharing the day for others to watch with as much information as possible for them to hopefully go on and visit these places.
Hey Daz big fan of this video,. i tried to do this. same route myself but ended up in the hills a lot of the time. any chance you can drop us a link to the route as it looks like a lot of fun
Hi Melvin let me see what I can do
Beautiful place keep an eye out for UFO’s…!!
The Berwyn incident ? 🤔
As always mega video maye well out of my league totally makes me sick how you to do it I struggle doing 60k some times
Made me chuckle that comment. We train through the week to enjoy these rides and genuinely enjoy the longer days in the saddle. 60k is still a good distance, especially if you pick a hilly route like where we live.
Any chance of having your Strava name so I can follow you mate I want to steal a few routes from you
You still make me sick 🤣🤣🤣
Keep up the rides mate keeps me going
Daz! Did you hear me shout at you on market Street the other day? 🤣
Where abouts buddy, I did hear someone yes
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures it was just by old gate on market Street, hebden bridge!
We went past the Old Gate the other Sunday pal. It's a shame we never saw you ....
Hav.u.dun.the.pondarosa.
I don't think I have done that one Stephen
That's the cafe at the top of the horse shoe pass outside llangollen.
Oh, in that case I may well have done. I have cycled every route between Abersoch and Manchester there and bacj over the years and have done Horse shoe pass.
