Hi all,

As the November riders will be filtering through from setting off yesterday, I thought it was time to share my attempt of the October version;

Hope you enjoy it.

Good job!

Were you ever tired at all?

Good effort though

Nah. Never got tired nor mentioned it haha!!

Thanks for checking it out though.

Great film, you did look done at the end but well done.

Nice one. We think you passed Cath on the road from Cwmystwyth to Rhaeadr - she said she pulled over to bivy about 2am somewhere in the middle of nowhere!

I felt pretty done when I got to the George

I wondered if I was cycling past anyone. That’s when I decided to rest too.

Thanks for watching :)

Well done Allen, enjoyed that

Nice video, enjoyed that, even saw myself on the first off road single-track climb

Thanks both!

Good show Allen - I wish I looked so chipper when I'm doing one.

Thank you! My mind was in the right place for about 3 weeks before the event, so I think that helped the situation. For some reason I didn’t doubt myself this year and pretty much enjoyed it as type 1 fun, the other half of questioning why I do this to myself. Still averages out as type 2 though.

Well done Allen and thanks for sharing that

Good video - looks like you had good weather in October.......

Thank you both. Yep, weather was kind to me. Better than 2021 November weather for sure.

Nice one, Alan. Almost made me feel like I was missing out.

Haha, almost!

I enjoyed that.

You definitely captured the initial optimism, followed by the mumbling, then the hope that the next resupply is only around the corner, followed by the ramblings of someone too tired to hold a coherent conversation...

Thanks. You have reminded me that it is worth doing.

Cheers,
Si

Thanks Si! I'm glad it came across like that - it's how it felt!

Thanks for watching, it's well worth doing - I just have to remind myself this when I'm doing it ha!
