I've since learned that there is a bit of contention from hiking and MTB groups in the area about this trail, so I won't post the gpx. Go visit a local MTB shop and get shown around :) Music: open.spotify.com/track/1fUXvm6aNWcAcSchZkigIA

Why I'm NEVER riding a road bike again
zhlédnutí 2,5KPřed 5 měsíci
Horses for courses, I know. But do I ever love the ability to rip a road descent on one hill and mission into some gravel on the next! This ride was one of those rides where I didn't set out to have an adventure, but ended up having one of the best day outs of my life!

bikepacking doesn't always have to be wild camping in the rain. Sometimes you can relax in an onsen too

My general thoughts on the super light Berd spokes after a month of riding them. Many thanks to Wheelworks for lending me these wheels to try. If you are interested in a Berd build, Wheelworks can help you out www.wheelworks.co.nz

Amazing ride! I'm in Orange County and I'd love to try this. Is it on Strava or another tail sharing app? Thank you!
It was great. I posted my Strava ride in another comment you should be able to hopefully download the gpx from that
@@pedallingsquaresNZ Thank you sir!
Awesome video. I subscribed. Do you have the route by chance?
Great! Here is the strata from the ride: www.strava.com/activities/11505165605 I think you should be able to download the gpx straight off there. Basically you go up Topanga to dirt mullholland then go across towards Eagle rock (I think its called) and down to Topanga township, Then we did the road climb up to the other side with a small dirt shortcut
What size tyres do you recommend for wellington gravel riding?
The majority of Wellington gravel in the city is essentially single track mountain biking. If you’re doing the remutaka cycle trail this is pretty easy gravel for the most part (apart from some coast sections which require walking). I’d say most people opt for 45mm tires for their gravel bikes locally
LA low key has some of the best riding in america, in addition to the santa monica mountains, only a few miles east are the san gabriel mountains which are even bigger and have incredible road, gravel and MTB riding
I’ll be back. I was blown away by the riding
1st
🙌🙌🙌
This is very good
Thank you man, that means a ton :)
Excellent job pushing through the tough spots and beating the sun! I was out there an additional 5 hours, much respect!
Chapeau mate. Huge day out. Huge respect ticking that off whether you beat the sun or not!
@@pedallingsquaresNZ Thank you! I was happy to get my 4th finish
Congrats on a huge effort. Trust you enjoyed it - it’s pretty special. Where to next?
Thanks mate. Need to recover from my fractured hand hopefully in time to go ride some of the Tour de France stages!
Update: got an X-ray and I’ve fractured a carpal bone in my hand, no wonder I was so sore by the end of the ride!
Nice job !
you need some serious granny gears for those climbs, to soak up those welsh paths, yo need old school reynolds 531, the new ultra light bikes, just send shocks up your arms and soak your energy, suspension bikes are to heavy, you done great son, every celtic man bursts in to tears in england, its like, what have i done to deserve this ;) lol
ha ha you woke up one day and felt like poop! imagine waking up in london and realizing, thats how you was gonna feel, for the rest of your life :) ha ha
best bike for that, 90s raleigh avanti, with a girling flex stem, reynolds 531, gel saddle, 52 teeth rear mech, and a dragon chasing you :) lol.
3:08 you road passed by house lol, that old quarry was shut down early 80s, the first lake with the dam you looked on was Pontsticill, home of brecon mountain steam railway, the main road (invisible path) was the main road, until the railway and road was pu iu, in the early 1900s, bit of trivia for you, teh mountain range you was on, is pen y fan, sas training grounds, in the summer, several soldiers have died up there, exhaustion. so you picked the right time.
Interesting thanks for the insight!
the tears, when you see bristol is normal mate, as soon as you get over the severn bridge to wales, you will cheer right up, with the very gentle hills, never ever rains and the 20 hours a day of sunshine ;) lol
I loved Wales. Looking back, although it was really hard, my favourite section of the trip for sure
Good work!
Great video thank you
Thanks for watching!
Epic!!!
🥳
Great to see you over there and finishing that epic ride. Well done. Where in nz are you from and what kind of training did you do?
I’m from Wellington in NZ. I mostly ride MTB and gravel as the trails in Wellington are just too good!
Nice ride!
Thanks!
Huge!
Thanks bro, twas huge. About as big as Hyrule dungeon showdowns circa 06
Shona the real MVP
She sure is, I’m a lucky man!
Nice job way to tough it out.😃🚵♀️
Thanks Mike!
Congratulations on a stellar ride. Whatever doesn't kill you makes you come back for more, right?!?! 😂
I guess so hahaha bloody hell that was tough day
Solid ride, I was suffering about 20 minutes behind you. The video of you rolling into the 2nd aid station gave me flashbacks of last week. Hardest part of the day for me along with the climb after the lake.
Nice one. Yeah I was in a seriously bad way when I rolled in I can understand the bad flashbacks 🥲
Good job. Wear gloves :)
Yeah really kicking myself on that one! Won’t make that mistake again!
@@pedallingsquaresNZ We've all been there.
Loved the edit and the soundtrack
Thanks David!
Thank you for this!
No worries!
4:30 Slo-mo section A++. Was no gloves a choice? Mad. Great vid, appreciated on a big day when you've got other things than filming to concentrate on.
Yeah I find it harder to get stuff out of my pockets especially when there’s dirt/sweat/gels involved. Also I find it easier to operate my phone for filming. But yeah I really regretted it on this occasion. I would take the minor inconvenience over my hand wounds any time 😂
Stellar effort congratulations
Thanks it was a tough day!
Well done mate!
Cheers!
Just watched this video as I am contemplating doing the challenge next month. You're very inspirate mate!
Ah thank you! Keep on top of the fluids and cooling and you’ll be fine!
Wow, so great. You lucky guy.
Well done! I've ridden that trail but from the bottom up to Katsuo-ji. My strategy is to ride uphill. That way if I get totally lost, it's an easy ride back down the way I came. I'm from California and the other MTBers that I encounter all speak pretty good English. The hikers I encounter are all friendly senior citizens who don't speak much English but they seem happy to meet a foreigner who's out enjoying the forest. People can check the heat map on Strava to see which of the trails criss-crossing the mountain are the most popular. I don't have an MTB. I ride a Trek Dual Sport 3 Gen 5 which is like a retro MTB - no suspension but fat tires.
Riding up that trail is very impressive, well done! Everyone I encountered was incredibly friendly and I agree everyone was just very happy to see people out enjoying nature!
bloody hell this is quite a loop. i just toodle round the bays
Definitely worth it though! Still my favourite road loop after 3 years living in welly
@@pedallingsquaresNZ OK will start training now, cheers
How good!!
B2b soon I hope
Hadrian's Wall was to keep the riff raff in.
I've no idea why everyone who videos a bike packing or bike touring trip needs to video what they pack, how they pack it, what bags they use, every bike component etc. If people can't figure out how to pack their bags for any trip they probably shouldn't be allowed out in public without supervision
Name checks out. Some people enjoy that side of bikepacking I guess!
Bloody awful music
Cheers Roy
Brilliant work sir. I'm "researching" for gbduro and loved the insight, both geographical and spiritual re the end - top work! 👏
Thanks Keith! It was a very challenging adventure and if you’re after something testing, you’ll certainly find that somewhere on the route!
I dream of Kobe beef
That view!!!
The whole climb is covered and you really don’t get a sense of the view until right at the end it’s incredible!
Spirited Away's opening scene overgrown road makes more sense now
Oh yeah that is totally what it was like! There are quite a few of those roads around, and heaps of these abandoned old establishments too which is very spirited away
Such a beautiful bike park!
Twas!
Pity about the weather! I rode it in reverse over 2 sunny days 😅 good on you for doing the whole loop.
That sounds lovely!!
got clickbaited
Sorry mate! We did see monkeys though
Hahahahah welcome to CZcams!
Just found your channel. Great vids and great riding. Thank you very much.
Thanks for watching!
Is this route on a mapping site (Strava/RideWGPS/...)? Thanks for sharing. Amazing scenery.
