New Radnor forest is on my list too do! Also a big loop ride from Hundred House and on too Llanbedr hill and Four Stones is a great wilderness summer ride
@@MrBikemadevs Hi Steve, good to meet you and Steve yesterday. Yeah, some great riding to be had around on the Begwyns. I parked by Hergest ridge then head up and over to Gladestry then off into it. Definitely a summer job because it's proper gloopy when it's wet 😖
You're right, sometimes we got to cut it short. I rode yesterday at Darren Fawr MTB trails (Garw Valley, near Bridgend) and same weather, so binned it off after couple hours and only used 30% battery (630wh). No rear mudguard so I was well and truly covered in muck, so next ride I'm using your solution, and fitting my rear mudguard, and I don't care what the fashion police have to say lol. My Crud XL on the front looks cool and does the job though.
Yep, no shame in cutting a ride short for whatever reason, the route will always be there so best to save it for another day without any unnecessary injuries or damage. I just hope the Welsh weather in Snowdonia is OK next week🤞 Big mudguards are a must, can't be doing with getting soaked straight away, besides, regardless of what they look like, you are looking forward, not at them so who cares, apart from the trendies who care about the look over practicality 👎
Great video of some awesome countryside, my neck of the woods, do a lot of running round there, was up my the mast Mid November and even though I've been there many times I almost went past the track I wanted it was that misty and wet.
@@fredm2450 Thanks for that Fred. Yeah, it's a really nice area..... when the weather is good. Looking forward to going back next year when it's dryer. Running? What's is this 'Running' yiu speak of?

@@bucksboatanchors3328 What helps with brakes is how you wash the bike, just water, no chain degreaser stuff to get on the discs etc and yes, lovin the new bike 👌
@mtbmatestrailsbanter Hi, there is noise and yes, the camera does pick it up. The noise doesn't bother me, I'm more about the lack of chain, cassette and derailleur issues 👌

Great video as always, admire you for going out in all weathers!! I'm too much of a fair weather rider!
If it was tipping it down when I woke up, I'd have rolled back over and gone back to sleep 😂

The Nicolai brakes are lovely and quiet....very unlike the squeaky Orbea ones. You're pleased with the new bike I imagine.

Nice one. It was a bit moist this weekend out there. Old Bert left the land saturated.
Yeah, it's a bit of a bugger. It's seasonal weather so it's to be expected but we Brits do like a moan about the weather 😂
Nice ride,so it would do about 60 miles in those conditions with 960wh ,if you only had 720wh prob around 40 miles ?
Great video, is the gearbox noisy or is it just the camera picking it up

@OldNorthern_eMTBer getting rid of chains and derailleur really appeals to me too, thanks
@@mtbmatestrailsbanter It's the future 👌
What Mudguards are you using I am looking for something similar?
@@patton1977 I made it myself out of old mudhuggers.
@OldNorthern_eMTBer that's a cracker
The front is an RRP Pro Guard
