    Another Excellent adventure Josh,
    But I'm sorry to say this, i had visions of you getting to that pub and it having a notice on the door saying its closed for refurb.... Well that'll be my luck anyway Lol..
    BTW it really amazes me how you plan these rides if you're using the Garmin for navigation..? please one rainy weekend could you vlog how please.?

    • @KeepSmilingAdventures
      @KeepSmilingAdventures  Před rokem

      I did double check, i did have to time it not to arrive on Mondays when they are closed.
      I mostly just plot it using komoot nowadays. Sometimes its more of a rough guide to where i want to go, then i adapt it based on how im feeling and what trails are like.

    You inspired me to buy a very cheap second hand gravel bike, to add to the collection of unused bikes 😮. I do intend using it though, so thank you
    How are the bottles attached to the front forks? I can’t see a bottle cage or any sort of carrier for the bottle at all!
    Great video as always

      Nope they both have their own saddle and seatposts. Both saddles are pro logo and pretty similar. Been riding both for years so im used to them

    • @KeepSmilingAdventures
      @KeepSmilingAdventures  Před měsícem

      You can cycle on, Bridal ways, restricted by ways, and Byways. Your best bet is to look at OS maps to find them if you don't know of any near you. Once you find one, you will normally be able to find other that connect them.

    Nice to see the bomb track out again. Have you changed your Altura front bag, by any chance? Looks very Ortlieb gravel bag like!?
    Enjoyed this trip, thanks for taking the time to film it. What's next, Britain's most remote pub..Wales highest and lowest pub..Scotland's highest and lowest pub? How about Britain's oldest pub, or most haunted?
    Take care buddy. 😊

    • @Arrynek01
      @Arrynek01 Před rokem +1

      That "crap" is literally the fuel. Junk food is the most calorically dense. It's too much for the body only when you are sitting around the house, doing nothing.

    • @KeepSmilingAdventures
      @KeepSmilingAdventures  Před rokem +1

      Yeah the altura bag broke quite a while back now, its the ortlieb bar roll now.
      I tried figuring out the oldest pub but I couldn't find a definitive answer to which one it was. Most haunted could be fun though. Especially if i can stay the night 👻
