A Simple Adventure!!!!!. A 3 day, 160 + mile ride for a first ride after being sick. Oh my. Many people would have started with 10 miles
So glad you are recovering so well. We missed you and your rides and filming. Take care
Cheers 🌞🚴♀️🥰👍
Really needed to get outside 🚵♂️🚵♂️
Good to see you back. Some of the best adventures can be found when cycling in the local area.
V pleased you're back, Josh. Great autumnal adventure and film. The British Isles never disappoint, always amazing especially when the sun shines.
Now that's a good British bikepacker: rain jacket immediately accessible when required. Welcome back, Josh.
Nice to see you back Josh. I’m sure we were all a little concerned that you hadn’t been around for quite a while. Stay well man and still loving the channel. J
Good to see you back Josh. You have inspired me to do my first bike packing trip last week, 220k (136 miles on the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail with a pub stay. Easy apart from multiple Magpie attacks.
Good too see you back out there great video as always 🎉
Does not need to be an epic ride to be an epic adventure. Keep smiling 😁
Love it - glad you're well again dude, long may the adventures continue ;-)
Great vid and come back. I too was out of action for about 2 horrible months. My come back was much less than yours. Only did 25 miles. Slow and steady. Cheers.
Good to see you back on the bike again. It’s very humbling having to take time off a bike then hop on after a prolonged period off. We have the will to push miles, but fatigue kicks in quicker
That looks like a great route!
Hope you are well....seems like ages. Thank you for your effort and content, another great delivery 😊
Great adventure Josh, I really enjoyed watching this:)
It's allways tough getting back on your feet but we just love the adventure, can't live without it! Thanks for shareing another great adventure with us josh, keep going mate, cheers.
He's back ..I'm glad you're feeling better mate and back out on the bike. I was thinking you might be stuck in Storm Agnes somewhere.
For once i was in a warm dry bed when the storms where out 😂
@KeepSmilingAdventures Hehe you know mate . Ive witnessed all your pain and suffering lol
Like the new bars, you should wrap parts of them in bar tape. Decathlon have some for a fiver, its great stuff, so smooth and soft lol
Kinda encouraging that you're not indestructible afterall Josh! Great to see you back. Exactly the sort of video that I wanted to watch with my breakfast this morning. Thank you!
Have a great day 👍
Glad to see you're back. You've given me hope that I'll get there. I've been ill for 3 months. Did South Downs way in May, but now I can barely ride to work. It will return.
Thanks
Really great to see you back in the saddle Josh. Hope you're feeling much better.
This was a very enjoyable video ... i like how you include location names and maps. Soundtrack suited the scenes and drone footage was nice too. 👍🇦🇺
Nice to see you back again Josh. Recovering from illness always seems to take longer than we want eh. You're ok now and still able to turn the pedals so life's good again.
Welcome back Josh, you’ll be back to fitness in no time. I broke my hip a few years back, but soon got back in the saddle 👍
Combe Gibbet at the highest point? I recognise that place! 1 week ago I had a mechanical on top of it that completely ended my ride. Luckily a local kind lady stopped and gave me a lift to the train station!
Divide all mileages by 4 and that's where I am. :)
Keep pedalling
Great rolling trip. Welcome back Josh. Was waiting for the usual "brutal" bit of almost every ride. Must be good to be back in the saddle. Glad you're back in action. Ever cycled in Ireland?
Another great video. I was brought up in Hampshire, good to see some of my old stomping ground.
Love your videos mate, Keep 'em coming - from a new subscriber!
Where you been missed you man back in the saddle josh
Glad u ok and back in the saddle where you seem happiest 😊well done and hope u stay well lad
Nice to see you back 😊
Welcome back great route
Looks very similar route to king Alfred’s way.
Uses some parts of it but its quite different. Same area though
Just don't over do it like I did & I'm paying for it now ,Feel better soon .
What are those handle bars you have on your bike? Like the look of them!
Still waiting on my "simple adventures" to reboot. Fractured my collar bone in August, and although I got back on my bike recently I think I was too hasty as pain as just transferred elsewhere so another weekend spent off the week. :(
Hope you heel up soon mate. 🚵♂️
Tell me about it.
Bought a new bike 2 weeks ago. Took it out on the 1st ride. Came a cropper. Curb push the wheel and bike 1 way I went the other. Shoulder barged planet earth. Broke a rib under my armpit and a transversal on the spine. 6 weeks off the bike
Glad to see your feeling better. Hopefully you wont overdo it as you have a habit of pushing too hard ;-) Take it easy fella!
Im sure i will 🙃
Good to see you back. Inspiring us all as always. Do you have a video on your recording and camera setup when riding?
Their is a Q&A i did a little while back that i went through the camera gear.
awesome, I saw the link in your description. I'll watch that later. cheers
Great to see you back on the bike mate. How did you get on with those new bars in the end?
A bit more time needed but quite nice
What power setup are you running, you got some sort of switch system from dynamo... Thanks
Glad you are back! Love your blue shirt, where can I get one?
Its a moverlo overland tech tee they annoyingly dont seem to sell them anymore hopefully they will bring them back
Will be keeping an eye out from 🇺🇸😊. BTW your France video is on repeat here. Just added to my ‘bike it’ list!
Is that shulz mtb?
Its a bombtrack beyond plus
Welcome back Josh.
