    Nice video, looks like a gravel ride from the footage. Great that people are exploring the old Neolithic routes and drovers roads now gravel bikes have taken off 👍🏽

      Thanks I aim to go back and do it in both directions soon. The Southdowns way is a good route as well but a bit more hilly.

      Yeah you have a point, I had to stop today at the end of a ride to buy sweets felt a bit dodge I’m not sure if the way I feel on harder rides is normal or I have an issue.
      I will get a test done.

    Great ride mate, really enjoy the commentary for a good laugh. Are you going to give the double a go? If you were to do the route one way where would you start?

      Hi I will do at some point but maybe not this year as I have quite a few other rides I want to do before the end of the year.
      If I did it again I might start from ivanghoe beacon as I haven’t ridden that section so even if I didn’t manage the full double I would know what the full route was like for a third attempt.

      Antony f Go for it you can always turn around if it’s too much I would like to do trans cambrian way, Welsh C2C, South Downs 300 and I want to do the Kielder chiller or some other 24 hour race if they don’t all get cancelled.

    Great ride and a fantastic effort. You lost about 1000 calories out of the left bag 😂 bouncing out.

      I know I kept riding of and then realising it wasn’t done up properly hard balance between being able to access food on the go and it flying all over the place 😂
