- I really enjoyed editing this video, at the time it was quite difficult to film as I was having such a good time taking everything in. I love how much of this route was just soooo quiet! I need to find some more, any ideas?

A little about Ed….
Ed is an elite cyclist, 2019 British Hill Climb Champion and former Under 23 British RR Champion. He has raced as a Continental level Professional Rider in Japan, Korea, Australia, Canada, Azerbaijan to name a few. He is also a public speaker, coach, and remains grounded with regular returns to his roots at Bynea Cycling Club. At the start of 2021, the Discord community began, and plonked many of Ed's viewers in to a 550+ strong group of people that had many things in common. Not least wanting to explore the world and pedal their bikes faster!
Ed coaches lots of cyclists in the online community too! If you are interested, email [laverackcoaching@yahoo.com](mailto:laverackcoaching@yahoo.com) for information on the 1-2-1 coaching package and training plans, of which there are many!
Ed now prioritises having fun with my hard earned fitness and knowledge in the sport. Showcasing that maybe there is an alternative to racing for teams when you can race for yourself and your community of followers and brands. This TH-cam channel is a docu-series highlighting what it’s like to be a cyclist in today’s competitive age of sport.

top tip. check your off road segments leaderboard on strava and check other riders' routes who did that same segment. (typically the top 10 from the leaderboard). this will "show" you all the best tracks and the best ways the link them together.👍
This is a top top tip. I did this when I moved house to a new area.
👍😃Looks fab & great fun (so long as you’ve got your route carefully loaded - hubby even with his Komoot /Garmin used to get a bit lost on forestry tracks).
Beautiful ! A bit wet maybe ?
On Strava you can search for segments, sometimes you find very long ones, and maybe a full tour. I use Komoot too, there are "local guides" who write down very detailed routes.
8:27 you only have to remove one lock, so it acts like a lock with 5 different keys - and you know who left the gate open 😄
😂😂thanks for the hack PAM!
if you had gone up the wall "ooh that looks steep" you can follow alongside the mtb trails on the gravel roads and then will drop out on top of the rhigos
Noted!!
Fun
Hey. Nice video. Can I find the route you took anywhere? Thanks
In the description👊🏼
Aye I love gravel, anyone can do it. My gravel bike is a 2nd hand boardman CX bike. I put 38mm wtb riddler on it, sensah srx 1x with 42-42 gearing, ali express carbon seatpost and handlebars and got some juin tech cable hydro brakes. It weighs about 10kg but it's easily the most fun bike I own.
Charlie has the CX Boardman, the blue and silver one. We just polished the dust off ready for some gravel and CX👀
