Here's my film from last weeks bivvy on Carnedd Llewellyn if anyone's interested. You'll get a good idea of the terrain/views. I quickly go through my kit near the end and in the last 30 seconds you'll see/hear what I didn't expect from being at the summit! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwpv41ZvSE...

That's cracking that Jeff. I'm going to have to tap you up for some routes and interesting places as my sil lives in Llanfairfechan and bil is a snowdon ranger, hut he's a little secretive about some places as I think he doesn't like people riding bikes on his patch....... Any time but be prepared ...

July done. My highest one of the year so far. 3490 feet on the summit of Carnedd Llewellyn :-bd It wasn't my intended destination as i wanted to bivvy on Yr Elen but the wind was on the 'cool' side and there's no shelter there. Luckily I knew of this spot as I'd used it a few times before. In the mo...

The chap who rode the Brompton on the 800 mile Pan Celtic finished in 7 days and has now started the TCR on the same bike!

I like the idea of this. Reminds me of a few role playing books I read as a teen. And like you say you always seem to pick the 'tougher' option!

The 2nd day of my summer holidays (42 days to go!) and I kept it very local early this morning. The Mrs had an important online meeting so I cycled over to Conwy for a chilled out pedal on the coast. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52213746355_52b458d853_c.jpg 20220713_094417 by Jeff Price , on ...

Took the skinny bike out for a spin around the Great Orme yesterday, god it was a stunning day. Shame some bloody tourists decided to ride the opposite way though! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52208775649_c44dc23896_z.jpg 20220710_130854 by Jeff Price , on Flickr Put yer climbing legs on http...

Edit - finish at Llandudno is at one of the organisers house I went to school with Mally, the organiser, he's quite a cyclist himself tbf. In 2019 I went out and about to take pics and have a chat with a few, they all loved it. It would be a good excuse to be out on the bike for a couple of weeks....

The Pan Celtic kicks off this Sunday and it looks like they'll have much better weather at the start as compared to last year. They'll be some dot watching for those of you into that sort of thing There's some bikes here and some of you may know a few riding: https://dotwatcher.cc/feature/bikes-of-p...

Here's my film from my solstice bivvy last week. If every bivvy was like this I think I'd be out every night!

Let me know what you think

2 days riding fat bikes near Gloucester. Was a good craic. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52177515138_6664c5a80d_c.jpg 20220626_105051-02 by Jeff Price , on Flickr https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52177515213_c4e518fa7c_c.jpg 20220626_115149-02 by Jeff Price , on Flickr https://live.staticfl...

June done! And they don't get much better than this! I rode home from work at 5pm yesterday, got home 20 minutes later, had tea, faffed, drove for an hour, rode my bike up a hill close to Arenig Fawr. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52163652147_53bb9febea_c.jpg 20220621_195504 by Jeff Price , on...

There's a pretty decent Roman Road not far from me in north Wales. There's plenty of standing stones & stone circles dotted about too.

Sofiane seems to update his Instagram story on a regular basis. Seems quite an upbeat fella with plenty of singing going on!

After browsing the OS map as you do, I noticed this Observation Post in the forestry at Coed y Brennin. So hoping it could be a potential future bivvy spot I headed out to locate it. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52140011046_20eb338269_c.jpg Screenshot_20220611-122838_OS Maps by Jeff Price , o...

I've just stumbled across this.
Tom Bruce used this as a training route for the HT550.
Looks great tbf

I don'r get it. The bike industry is so sown up in the 'gravel thing', that's just ole skool MTBing!
I'm pretty sure if they asked a a few HT550 starters if this would make the difference then I very much doubt it!!

Had a explore again around Beddgelert forest this afternoon. Despite riding there many times before, there's always a different track to be found. You can guarantee fine views over to Snowdon from any breaks in the tree line. Went to the Princess quarry and then around some dodgy singletrack to the ...

I've just been sent a large dropper post compatible seat pack to try out prior to full production by a popular UK brand.
Initial findings are fantastic, so hold on a bit longer...

Shame their dots weren't working properly as they were within a couple of hours of each other when Pete Mcneil saw them

According to Annies IG Huw Oliver has finished 1st
Well done indeed!

and looks like Pete Mcneil could have possibly rode with someone headed along Loch Oich from 10:20 for about 40 minutes before heading back north as part of the filming he's doing.

Given previous pace, are we thinking Angus and Huw have passed FA yet?

Annie posted on Instagram earlier to say Huw was at Fort A at 10am and that Angus was not that far behind

I've been using one for 18 months now. Very impressed at the simplicity of it. Ass aid above you can adjust its angle if it feels a bit heavy although its limit is 8lbs.
