  • Join me on a ride taking on two of the best climbs North Wales and Snowdonia has to offer, Stwlan Dam and Llanberis Pass.
    This was one of the best rides I've done in the UK and I highly recommend the route which you can find below.
    Are you part of the KM crew or Miles crew, let me know in the comments below.

    Great video Russ, some good road surface for a change, superb scenery and climbing. I like your enthusiasm and saying hello to everyone as I find this is something that is lacking when out cycling 🤷‍♂️ I'm old school too so cycle in miles 😁 😎🚴‍♂️👍

      Thanks Terry, yep the roads where I live are shocking so it was a nice change! I appreciate that, I love the bond cyclists have saying hello, I wish we all did it! And 1-0 for the mile crew, no takers from the KM crew so far! 😂

    I work in mm, cm, meters and then miles. I buy fuel in liters but measure its efficiency in Mile Per Gallon. Welcome to the UK.

      So I've always used miles but I have my climbing data in metres, makes it easier for me to comprehend it. Plus I can say to non cyclists that when I climb 2000 + metres on a ride I've nearly climbed 1/4 of Everest!

      Thanks, some tough names to pronounce!

      @@Russ_Dillon If you fancy a good day out in southern Gwynedd try Bwlch-Y-Groes, Llanymawddwy.
      Even harder to ride than it is to pronounce.

      Thanks, next time I'm in Wales I'll have a look. There are some awesome climbs there that I want to try.

      that doesnt quite explain the pronounciation, it starts with gwin, but the -edd is pronouced with a normal 'e' sound and 'th' as in 'this' as opposed to 'thistle'

    You know what they say, if you didn't film your ride and put it up on UA-cam, it didn't happen!
