Thanks! Bushy is very nice, my shots of it didn't do it justice - lots of deer to see and space to explore

Yes I love Essex for road cycling too... Much flatter than Kent, perfect for me 😅

Sounds great, will have to check it out next time

Agree to disagree

@@JakeMay there is no disagree mate. i was born in the stow and the postcode is e17

Presuming I said north east London not north London. If I said north that is definitely wrong

I think I didn't explain this video very well 😅 I went on a bikepacking trip from Bristol but am so forgetful that my friend had to send my toothbrush back to me in the post 😂

@@JakeMay I literally thought it was a toothbrush for cleaning gunk out fo the chain, and a candle for waxing it. 😅O well, a clean bike is also .. a good bike though.

I use a Wahoo Elemnt Bolt (v1) - have had it for four years and find it really reliable and easy to use

I think I must have got lucky on this specific route and missed those!

There's some good infrastructure here now, and the sheer number of cyclists forces the drivers to take care I think. Plus the 20mph speed limit! Still work to do, far too many people still choose to drive

Glorious!!

It's a strong combo

Very gloomy lately! First sun today in a week. And yes definitely not going fast 😂 thanks 👍

Cursed 😅

Future gravel adventures to follow!

Would be a good option for bigger trips! How easy is it to still ride on the tops?

Thanks for the tip. Do buff beanies look much different?

@ they can be used also as scarf and in my opinions look better. You should check them out.

Thank you my mate

Great point actually! I'll bring it up next time I see him 😂 I probably cycled past about 5 parks without evening realising it. Cheers!

Hahahaha woah woah...don't lie Jake..we were both late..and you were just later (got it on vid 😂😂😂) 😂😂😂 Jake Trying to lie some more haha

@avocado.cyclist I've never lied in my life!!! 😯

@JakeMay hahahaha another lie right there 😂😂

I don't want pannier racks on my bike all year round

@@JakeMay maybe have a look at ortlieb Quickrack if no mounting points are available. on the other hand: your bike has mountain points and it is 4 screws only... :-)

100k of junk 😂

I've managed to escape the coffee fine so far 😈

Ah didn't realise you could join it all the way to Paddington! How did you find that section of the route out to Guildford?

Shut up

Nice to meet you mate! Quality effort on the fancy dress and the 3D printed trophy!

😂 all that running away from Oxford United fans must be how he's so fast at the marathon

Cheers bro ❤️

Cheers PAM!

Well done on doing it!

Nice to meet you mate, cheers for the meal deal storage 😂

Why should drivers getting somewhere faster be prioritised over the safety of cyclists?

@@JakeMay I dunno … I often see, in our small town that instead of parking (for a short period) on the street, motorists stops in the bike lane or on the sidewalk. And the utterly stupid reason I hear is that motorists don’t hinder the traffic, but Hey! They are stopping me and other bikers and pedestrians. But as I heard from either your or another’s video - cars are the norm. Our towns and cities are adopted to motorists. Students from the University of Gothenburg came to our town - Vänersborg - to see how it could be made more attractive and the defined the town with two words: CARS and WATER. Cars were everywhere, and we are talking of a town centre with some 12,000 inhabitants.

There was one section we accidentally went on RSPBA land (near Snape maybe) where cycling wasn't permitted and tried our best to get off of it when we realised. From memory everything else was completely fine and legit. Unless there's somewhere specific you're referring to?

@@JakeMay The Komoot route is the worst compared to your actual Strava route which itself is pretty grim, the most notable being: Route cross Woodbridge Golf Course, the whole length of the section from the B1084 through the Chillesford Lodge Estate all the way to Orford, the RH turning off the road at the edge of Tunstall Forest towards Snape Maltings + the back-loop beside the river, two excursions off the Sailors Path to Aldeburgh, an excursion off Saxmundhan Road just before the mini roundabout in Aldeburgh, the route across farm land off the top of Thorpeness Common, route through Vale Farm and Nuttalls Farm near Frostenden Corner, most of route between Sotterley and Shadingfield by Shadingfield Hall, whole of route through Rookery Park golf course. All those areas mentioned are private land with no right of access for the public. Do you actually use an Ordnance Survey map for navigation or do you just "wing it" and go where you like?

As you point out original the Komoot link was not an accurate reflection of where we rode, and many of the specific points you mention above we went nowhere near in the end - I've changed the Komoot link to make that clearer (not sure what went wrong there). There was one occasion we realised we weren't allowed to be cycling we did our best to get off immediately, and the rest of the time we were conscious to be polite the whole way round, aware of where we were riding and any shared paths etc, and didn't come across any problems. We obviously don't want to affect relationships between local riders and private land owners. I was actually following a friend's route on this occasion so trusted the research but will be more careful next time.

Sounds great! Already looking forward to the longer, warmer days to come...

@@JakeMay I didn't get chance to ride this year. I really missed being out.

Hope you enjoy the vids!

Because not everyone wants to do that? Cmon
