Hello all, happy sunday hope you have had a nice day and a great week, in this week's adventure i will be pedaling my way through the snowdonia national park, with cycling uk's newest route the Traws Eryri, hope you enjoy the video and have a great week. Don't forget to check out the before you ride video on the second channel here - ruclips.net/video/QGsdU2HHs78/видео.htmlsi=QgJkgHP-ZN5kxCe9 If you are interested in any of the kit, bikes etc check the links in the video description.
I've lived in the welsh valleys all my life. I'm almost 65, still walking, still cycling on my 17yr old Kona. I love where I live and I've never taken it for granted. I was blessed being born here. As for the rain, well, it's only water and keeps it green. Place names? Have a go, ask a local, learn and it will be appreciated. Great content here, chware teg. Diolch.
Awwww Wales. The place of unpronoucable names.😂 Your narration and music choice match the beauty of the country landscape. 👍 Good work. Good on ya for carrying a quicklink. Saved the day. Thank you for another fine adventure. Cheers 🚴♀️🌞🖖
You have to have to have the most beautiful videos I’ve ever seen mate. You embody everything I ever feel when I’m out in the countryside and Wales especially. I’ve gone to wales for holidays, day trips since I was a kid. I just turned 50 last weekend and I’m still just as addicted as I was then. I live in Stoke On Trent so a completely different vibe here and I’m sure I was meant to live out in the open. When I drive, cycle or hike out in the countryside I always to this day get butterflies, it gives me this excited feeling, like a feeling of hope. I can’t really explain it. I’m not a pro cyclist, I just cycle for health and the tranquility of being on my own, at one with nature. People think I’m a bit weird because I enjoy so much time on my own 🤷🏼😂😂 anyhow mate, yet another stunning video and you make a 50 year old dude quite emotional when I watch these. I get so inspired so thank you buddy. ❤
I have never done bike packing, but I have done my share of motorcycle adventures. And this is how it's done. Love the intro and you truly got me smiling. Absolutely love the calm voice in your voiceover. I find this particularly hard myself. I really enjoyed this mate. Thank you 👏🏻🎥
Josh, been sat at home ill. Found your channel, and I would like to say what amazing videos there are. I am a former biker on and off but have a medical condition that now limits me, but watching you grind away in all weather's reminds me of my time out there on my bike. Which a lot of it was in the Peak District close to me. Thank you, and keep it up.
Hey Josh Don’t usually comment on RUclips stuff Been a massive viewer for years. Watched loads of your vids many times Although I’ve watched it loads already… This is definitely your best work! It’s a wonderful video! The cinematography, the music everything - really beautiful I’m sure your over the moon some guy thinks this right? 😂
Another fantastic video Josh 👏 TBH I don’t get why your channel has only that amount of followers where’s channels with some rubbish content - millions 🤔 Keep up good work pal
The adventures keep on coming! What are your tyre pressures Josh? Your rear wheel seems to be bouncing quite a bit in this one, which translates as an increase in lost energy (or better traction)! Thanks for your inspiration, dedication and your cool posts 🙏🏼☺️
Cool route, Wales never fails to deliver great scenery, but also never fails to deliver the dampness. Looking at your video again towards the start, your rear tyre looked super soft, especially when climbing as was almost hitting the rim. Maybe it was just running a bit low and the bead was leaking if it burped. Bet it felt good to see blue skies in Conwy?
Yeah i think it was just very slowly going down the whole trip, i topped the sealant up once i got home and it been fine since. Funny i got all the way to conwy that morning and it was absolutely beautiful, tyre stayed up all the way, sat around enjoying the castle, went to cycle to the train station and it was flat again 😂
@@KeepSmilingAdventures Tubeless is perfect for me, but the only thing I ever forget is to chec levels of the sealant. I must remember to check more often haha😂
Nice video but pretty tough trails at the end there! Conwy is a lovely town, but I will never understand why they built that nice castle so close to the railway line ;-)
Fantastic video, you really get the feel of the country. I'm doing it with a mate in April. I just wanted to ask you what system you used for your bottles on the fork as I will need to do something similar as don't want to use a camelbak. Thanks Bruce
hi Josh, I would love to do this ride and the cairngorms has been on my radar for a while. Could you tell me about your travel to and from your rides.Sometimes that's the bits that hold me back from doing a ride as I'm not always sure logistically how to get to the start without driving and leaving the car somewhere and train prices are always so expensive.

So, have you ridden this route yet? 😉
You do such beautiful work! Thank you for this gift.
Awesome video it showed the trail at its natural best lol you can't beat the snowdonia area for true adventures thank you for sharing
Brilliant Josh, you are hardcore mate 👍
As you love Wales Josh you should consider taking a trip to West Cork in Ireland we have some beautiful rugged n hilly country here 😊
I have a couple Ireland trips planned, hopefully sooner rather than later 🚵♂️🚵♂️

Hey Josh

Been a massive viewer for years.
Watched loads of your vids many times

I’m sure your over the moon some guy thinks this right? 😂
Excellent. I think your Wales content could be used to show many Welsh people the unappreciated wonders our country has to offer!
Improves every time you ride Josh. Huge thankyou for the inspiration..
Thanks 🙏 goad you enjoy the videos
Another fantastic video Josh 👏 TBH I don’t get why your channel has only that amount of followers where’s channels with some rubbish content - millions 🤔
Keep up good work pal
Thanks for a well crafted trip very much appreciated all the time and effort you put in and glad it went well 😊

Do you know what, this is one of your best videos, everything has come together well, the videoing, the scenery the music, the narrative, really good
Glad you enjoyed it 🚵♂️🚵♂️
Thanks Josh, enjoyed this, missed a few of your videos lately and watching this it seems your cinematography just keeps getting better, nice one
Thanks 😊 glad you enjoyed them
Just found this channel and love it! It’s literally dialled in to my aspirations. Great content! Diolch yn fawr 👍
Love your videos! You do a fantastic job!!! Wish you would use a wind muffler for your cameras!

Great video, cycled this over the summer.
You passed two campsites at Ogwen, the track out of Capel Curig took you past them!
Gotta luv crimbles
Nice video but pretty tough trails at the end there! Conwy is a lovely town, but I will never understand why they built that nice castle so close to the railway line ;-)

An excellent film Josh, helpful, informative, enjoyable. How on earth do you find space for a drone too?😊
thank you for making these videos .... how do you get to the places you cycle through , by train ? rgds Pete
Well done. I wonder if you will go back to the Jones H loop bar or keep this one. Which do you prefer ?
Love the detail in your videos . Im doing this route after Christmas, what size cassette and chain ring do you use ? Thanks
Loved it again but whats happened to the peace ✌???
PEACE ✌️ 😆
Wow, looks amazing, but very boggy close to the end - are you sure you didn't go off-piste? ;-)
Aha nope thats the route, has been a lot of rain lately, actually all year 😆
What is your handle bar set up? Trying to figure out what you have done with that extension piece where you have your GPS and headlamp mounted to?
Hey, I have a video over on the second channel ruclips.net/video/BqWGTxd2VaQ/видео.html
@@KeepSmilingAdventures sweet. Cheers dude!
Hi Josh, when are you planning to take your touring bike out?? Keen to see a road trip
I do have some rides planned but
Probably not until in the new year
Is your rain gear proper waterproof?
