    Great video Laura. Just watched part one, and located part two for tomorrow. My friend Andy and I plan to do the same trip this summer and he linked me this vid. Admittedly we are 60s and you likely half our age, just you girls ride like the clappers! I was bracing for an accident to happen. You're so posh and enthusiastic, its adorable. Keep riding and filming Laura ❤

      😂 OS maps was definitely more reliable than the garmin, Juliet’s garmin did give us some questionable directions

    Oh absolutely stupendous trip, very entertaining one thanks to the both of you two 😁😄 🌝
    I'm dying to arrange a multi day event myself though I don't see any of that coming in my way in the near future 🤕
    Really appreciated being brought around and taking a look at the South Downs area, I'm always keen to discover new places; impressive map reading skills eh Laura! Juliet must rely completely on you to get back home safe 😄🤗

      Why can't you do it Francesco?
      Did my 1st solo multiday bikepacking this year.
      Absolutely loved it. Going to try and get a few 1 nighters in before end of summer.
      Then plan for a decent ride next year.
      If you need a buddy rider, I'll volunteer

    Found your channel via Juliet Elliott. Thank you for the best South Downs cycling video - you display a much better understanding knowledge and appreciation of your surroundings (flora forna and wildlife) and what the viewer wants to see and experience. Thought some of the shots from other vids, Warhorse house, the Reservoir and the Quarries looked familiar, they are similar to (Steve's) Online Video Channel also from the Plymouth area - might be worth a look ? Hats off to you with the swimming, closest I get is with my GoPro looking at the fish. Keep'em coming.

    • @lauragriffithsoutdoors

      @@lauragriffithsoutdoors No, thank you for giving us such entertainment, do check out Learn Online Video, on one of his vids he has >6m views, so your location must have something going for it? If you do decide to become a mermaid don't forget to take your GoPro waterproof case so that you can keep sending us your vids ;) Look forward to the next :)

    I noticed you had a suspension fork. Your friend did not. Curious about the amount of vibration over the gravel portions. Do you experience issues with the jarring impacts to shoulder or wrists?

    • @lauragriffithsoutdoors
      @lauragriffithsoutdoors  2 роки тому +5

      Hi David i have never ridden a gravel bike like my friends so I couldn’t compare. I have a hardtail because I come from a mtb back ground. Juliet likes a gravel bike because she is from a road background. I personally do like having the forks for more control on the rough stuff

    • @lauragriffithsoutdoors
      @lauragriffithsoutdoors  2 роки тому

      We talked about this quite alot and both bikes were too close, I like flat bars juliet likes drops, with gravel tires on either bike they were so similar
