What way do u have to go to get there

Awesome mate, well done getting round, its absolutely brutal isn't it!!! I didn't get in last year, will be trying again next time!

Bloody good video mate keep em coming! Sam peeps state side

Some very cool kit there, Russ. Really like those prescription glasses. Sweat (and suncream in the summer) in your eyes wearing contacts is a nightmare.

Completely agree with the RTL515 varia, feel unsafe when not using it. Absolute game charger

It’s a good job you didn’t have climb pro on the Fred hard Knott would have been all dark red not what you want to see 🤣

Would love the 1050. I've got a Karoo 2 right now. It works pretty good, but Im considering switching. 1050 is just so expensive. Been looking at comparison videos and how the 1040 has been with the new software. Can you report road hazards like the 1050?

Bloody hell - I thought I was not bad going downhill but I was crapping mesen watching that , and the road surface ! - I live in France now so roads usually well surfaced - the back roads can be a bit rough , but nowt like that .

What is the weight of a Trek Domane AL 5 2024? You have two Trek's on the video so perhaps you know this one too. I cannot seem to find the weight other places.

Picking up my SL 5 Gen 4 on Wednesday- really looking forward to it - coming from a Specialised Allez Sport so I am hoping it will be more comfortable so I can ride longer.

Great video 😊 It looks like it’s you getting the bike up the hill, not the bike getting you up the hill 😂

seems just about perfect, but 573 euros?! silly expensive. someone should put a large battery in a regular device. my 520 consumes 330 milliwatts average, yours should be under 200 milliwatts average. were either of these to have a proper 18 watthour battery like a smartphone does, which would only cost 40 grams extra, the battery lives would be ~55 hours and ~100 hours for each respective gps. i mean it's neat they try for long life with a puny little battery, but is it that hard to square the corners and put in a proper one?

Hey Russ another great little video mate. Do you use a power meter either on the cranks or pedals or does the garmin figure out watts output?

did you get it on sale? i almost jump on the deal before fathers day and enjoy your new edge!!

Never seen the little lake looking quite so stunning on a video, mate! What a morning to be out! I'm firmly in the stone age with my 6 year old Element Bolt and will probably run it right into the ground before getting something with a bit more functionality. Good video - staggering battery life! - and these vids are really useful for people looking to upgrade or review options for a first GPS unit.

I have a 1040 but to be honest I think the Wahoo Summit Climb feature is better. It also requires no route and has a super elevation screen that shows relief ahead and allows the summit pro data fields to set across screens. Not a deal breaker though. Make sure you check GP Lama’s video on using IQ data fields on various screens the Windy one is brilliant. I think the stats is problematic. Stamina often isn’t correct and overall I have become more interested in riding with feeling as a pure club level rider. I do like to know my power, cadence and HR but that’s about it really. HRV, train readiness, body battery gaslight the shit out of you and just add that level of doubt when you feel just OK and HRV is down. The other thing is that Garmin Watches are fairly rubbish at sleep tracking which they rely on for lots of the stamina and body battery etc calculations. I think the 1050 will only be worthwhile if you want a better screen and follow routes a lot. It does look much better. Like all new Garmin’s though, wait a year for the bugs to subside. The 1040 was a disaster zone for almost a year.

@3:20 - just look at that sky :-)

great you getting out there early 🙂

I’ve just bought the 840 non solar and already love it. Does everything I want and a lot more besides.

made me dizzy through them trees ! good effort to the lads :-)

Mix it up bro and keep it fresh, a bike is a bike x

good cycling advice.

With respect, the only reason why you have to eat "little and often" is because your body is not using the body's preferred primary energy, which is fat. You are unable to do this because your body can not access nor produce sufficient levels of ketones. Having to eat carbs often while on the bike proves that your metabolism is not working in an optimal state. Constantly spiking blood sugars will illicit an insulin response, which is why, we as a nation are in the midst of a diabetic and obesity epidemic. Reducing carbs, processed foods and sugar is massively beneficial in so many ways. Its also good for endurance , I did an 80 miler on my gravel bike yesterday, I ate a zero carb meal consisting of bacon and eggs before my ride and then nothing else on the ride, except coffee , some electrolytes and water. I was out for 7 hours including rests. A total calorie burn of over 4300 calories. I did not hit the wall or bonk. I had lots of energy. I didn't need to eat any carbs every 45 minutes to an hour. My body is in a state of ketosis, it is running on its preferred and primary energy source, fat. Either dietary or my own stored fat. The human body is capable of going for long periods while performing athletic and physically taxing endeavours. You are wrong about nutrition. I am a Carnivore eater. I have never been healthier. I often go out for 40 mile rides in a fasted state. My inflammation and recovery has massively improved. IMO, the way you are eating is not healthy and could lead to diabetes or pre diabetes. The issue is not just your blood sugar levels. I would get your HbA1c tested. Before discovering the ketogenic lifestyle I used to do the same as you with food. Its not good as the ore times you spike insulin the more damage and inflammation is occurring in your body. Look into the amazing work of ultra-endurance expert, Professor Tim Noakes who is world leading expert in keto diets in sport. Also check out professor Ben Bikman on the dangers of carb-heavy diets. I do not mean to preach but I know you are incorrect and misguided as I was once. Im a 51-year-old block from Lancashire. Please do some of your own research. I was pre diabetic & I didn't even know it. Doctors don't help. They only offer drugs. I fixed myself.

Where is this hill I want to try it?🤔

My new Domane coming this weekend. So excited!!!

I’ve done grag vale twice it’s great 👍

The music 👎👎

Garmin 1040 👍

Jesus mate what a worrier u r my god. That looked nearly bloody impossible l couldn't have done that at I'm now 12 stone. But was just under 18 before. Your a great bloke mate. Mybe try linkin up at somepoint and do a KZbin special cyclin gatherin.

Thanks for the video. I jumped from a mountain bike to the Trek FX3. Great for commuting and touring, it's comfortable enough to encourage longer rides, but the speed isn't what road bikes are, so I'm looking into the Domane, now.

both

Hi from canada ok i'll subscribe

What a beaut of a climb though :-)

Guess Lee is doing The Fred :-)

I'll not be able to cycle past that hill now without trying it! You know when it looks really steep on a camera it's a beast ... Fantastic effort and up Cragg there. Great video, mate! 🙂

I’ve got the 840 love it, always had Garmin so can’t compare to other companies but think the climb pro is fantastic on it. Wouldn’t waste the extra for the solar one though. Also 840 has touchscreen and buttons 😊

I’d recommend the Garmin 1040 if it’s budget

Mate, that was brutal!!

Garmin 530 or the newer models ❤

I’ve had a wahoo bolt , I mainly purchased it for the ease of use in setting up etc , but I found the screen and data display not as good as my Garmin (just my opinion wahooligans) , I then went back to the Garmin and got an edge 830 no buttons touchscreen really quick for setting up , now thinking of upgrading to the 840 for a few more features but think I’ll wait for offers first on that, I guess it’s Apple v Android in phone terms , you get what ecosystem works you ,
