    Funny just watched another video of someone called buzzalong doing their 600km PBP audax in Holland on pan flat cycle lanes.... not all 600k audax are created the same. Well done.

    Love your channel Richard. Your mental strength is so brilliant

      Thanks Cath. Yes and no - certainly on the bike other aspects of life I do wonder how I cope sometimes 😅

    Currently cursing myself for having entered the Bryan Chapman. There is pretty much zero chance I am going to make it round within 40 hours but going to give it a go!

    • @BikepackingAdventures

      All the best Steve, just give it a shot and enjoy the ride! You never really know until you have done that.

    Massive effort Richard and respect for doing this ride especially with all that lovely climbing in Wales!

    Incredible effort. Not sure how you got the strength after the sickness

    Wow! what a ride, that van must be the best buy you've ever bought. Sleep/food & bike repairs.

    Sorry to see that you were ill ,Maybe try a water filter as I could see you were filling up straight from a source .

    • @BikepackingAdventures
      @BikepackingAdventures  Рік тому +1

      It did cross my mind if that was my mistake, it's not something I would normally do. I reserver my water filter for riding off-road in more remote locations or at least that has been the case up to now.

    That road near new quay is such a big old climb

    • @BikepackingAdventures
      @BikepackingAdventures  Рік тому +1

      Yes it seemed to go on forever, I think it's just because it's a main-ish road you wanna get off cos of cars.

    • @bee_whisper
      @bee_whisper Рік тому

      @@BikepackingAdventures yeah for sure. Theres a load of hills near there like if you go down to new quay then climb out and follow the roads round to Llangranogg tonnes of steep stuff to the beach .

    Amazing Richard.. well done for getting through this one.. good old Chesney Hawkes to spur you on 😉 your an inspiration my friend

    • @BikepackingAdventures

      Normally I'd hate listening to shit music, but sometimes a bit of cheesey music is good for the soul.

  • @Bijou-Bob

    Great stuff👍
    Scenery looked fantastic, but a bit tough at points I bet.

    • @BikepackingAdventures
      @BikepackingAdventures  Рік тому +1

      Hey Bob, yeah a bit tasking at times. Just lots and lots of rolling all adds up.

    Great video, inspiration for my 400 this weekend (with significantly less climbing thankfully)

    How did the new exposure light do Richard?

    • @BikepackingAdventures
      @BikepackingAdventures  Рік тому

      Yeah it seemed to shine so bright. I have it on programme mode 3, smart mode, so it adjusts to how fast you are rolling- kinda important when plenty of climbs - thus far impressed!

  • @crazypedaller
    @crazypedaller Рік тому +1

    Well done Rich. Top effort. Does that mean your all qualified for PBP now?

  • @Robutube1
    @Robutube1 Рік тому

    Well done Rich - looks like you had to grind that one out at times - a beautiful country but a toughy of a ride for sure.
    You mentioned various bits of music you were listening to - what's your audio set up?

      Yeah from memory that's the second of his rides I have done and loved the route selection on both. The other was 'Bwlch or Bust'

    Beautiful scenery apart from you wiping yourself down. I had to stop watching at that point.
