Hey everybody. Billy from Billys Bike Adventures. Thanks for tuning in today and watching the video.
It is the beginning of June 2021, bank holiday long weekend and I have decided to take a trip
to Wales to do a few days touring around wales and taking in ABRs ten highest roads in Wales.
Just going to ride through wales version of Winnats Pass right now.
Doesn't compare really but good enough.
No need to wave I'm already coming past fella
Look at this you bend in the road ahead beautiful if this was a one-way road that was empty,
imagine how much fun you could have on this but got to be respectful of
other cars not take the risks, but just beautiful.
So I just had a cyclist fall over right in front of me fortunately I was not too close to him and I
was able to swerve out the way. He caught his foot in one of these potholes on the left
or his wheel sorry and uh unfortunately went down like a sack of spuds.
He looked okay though so I didn't stop he had it he was riding with a mate so I didn't stop
but uh good reminder of how vulnerable cyclists are out on these types of roads.
Now I highly recommend you try and get out to Wales and do ABRs
Super Ten or ten highest roads in Wales. There is a link in the description
for you to be able to download the GPX file for the route that I am doing today
and tomorrow so download it plan a date in the diary and get it done, you won't be disappointed.
A bit rainy now up here unfortunately, nice road down there.
Can't come to Wales and not have a little bit of rain.
That's why it's so green up here mun.
Oh this is lovely look at this look, brilliant.
Now whilst this is good fun and you tend to see parts of the countryside that uh you might not
ordinarily have seen we've got to do 200 miles in a day this type of riding does not make for
good progress. So it's a little bit frustrating that I am averaging, what, 20 miles an hour at
the moment, I'm lucky these lanes are very thin and you just can't take the risks.
Oh hello little fella, go on, keep going, come on mate, go on, go on, go on mate, go on go on,
good lad good lad you made it.
This is very slow going and not the type of riding
that i would like to do I mean some of it's okay but um i've been in this now for quite a while
reminds me of being in Cornwall trying to get around Cornwall in a camper van
and Devon more Cornwall than Devon but pretty much this is what you get,
and then in a cameraman it's not fun, but i'm at my bike i'm riding it could be worse,
could be piddling down with rain.
Now little did i know this is what was waiting for me when I got out of that enclosed single
track road. This is Gospel Pass in Wales, part of ABRs Super Ten or the ten highest roads in Wales.
Highly recommend that you take the time to do that keep watching some spectacular views coming up
Look at that just take it in for a minute.
Wow
Beautiful, told you Wales was nice.
Okay so that was worth it. That crappy lane was worth it so
i would highly recommend it for that because i was really nice.
Very windy up here as you would expect. Top of the hill in the middle of nowhere.
Look at the views amazing.
Just beautiful.
Watch out for the dollies, lambs, the sheep, otherwise spectacular.
Pretty darn nice.
Yeah okay so that was worth it highly recommend it.
