    A Simple Adventure!!!!!. A 3 day, 160 + mile ride for a first ride after being sick. Oh my. Many people would have started with 10 miles
    So glad you are recovering so well. We missed you and your rides and filming. Take care
    Cheers 🌞🚴‍♀️🥰👍

    Now that's a good British bikepacker: rain jacket immediately accessible when required. Welcome back, Josh.

    V pleased you're back, Josh. Great autumnal adventure and film. The British Isles never disappoint, always amazing especially when the sun shines.

    Glad to see you're back. You've given me hope that I'll get there. I've been ill for 3 months. Did South Downs way in May, but now I can barely ride to work. It will return.

    Nice to see you back Josh. I’m sure we were all a little concerned that you hadn’t been around for quite a while. Stay well man and still loving the channel. J

    He's back ..I'm glad you're feeling better mate and back out on the bike. I was thinking you might be stuck in Storm Agnes somewhere.

      @KeepSmilingAdventures Hehe you know mate . Ive witnessed all your pain and suffering lol
      Like the new bars, you should wrap parts of them in bar tape. Decathlon have some for a fiver, its great stuff, so smooth and soft lol

    Good to see you back Josh. You have inspired me to do my first bike packing trip last week, 220k (136 miles on the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail with a pub stay. Easy apart from multiple Magpie attacks.

    Really great to see you back in the saddle Josh. Hope you're feeling much better.
    This was a very enjoyable video ... i like how you include location names and maps. Soundtrack suited the scenes and drone footage was nice too. 👍🇦🇺

    Good to see you back on the bike again. It’s very humbling having to take time off a bike then hop on after a prolonged period off. We have the will to push miles, but fatigue kicks in quicker

    Nice to see you back again Josh. Recovering from illness always seems to take longer than we want eh. You're ok now and still able to turn the pedals so life's good again.

    Combe Gibbet at the highest point? I recognise that place! 1 week ago I had a mechanical on top of it that completely ended my ride. Luckily a local kind lady stopped and gave me a lift to the train station!

    Great rolling trip. Welcome back Josh. Was waiting for the usual "brutal" bit of almost every ride. Must be good to be back in the saddle. Glad you're back in action. Ever cycled in Ireland?

    Still waiting on my "simple adventures" to reboot. Fractured my collar bone in August, and although I got back on my bike recently I think I was too hasty as pain as just transferred elsewhere so another weekend spent off the week. :(
