Bryan Chapman Memorial 600km audax 2023

[@vorsprungbike]

I'd forgotten how great the weather was, thanks for the vid

[@londoncenturies]

I hope you enjoyed your ride as much as I did mine. It’s funny, but that’s one of the reasons I do these videos because it’s so easy to forget stuff like that. Thanks for watching!

[@SaddleSore]

Shout out!! Touché amigo.

[@londoncenturies]

Cheers Paul. Good luck for tomorrow, if I’m not mistaken!! Smash it, man, I can’t wait to see the video.

[@iannelson6242]

Many congrats, brilliant vid and incredible effort. Can’t wait to see the PBP one

[@londoncenturies]

Thanks Ian, it was a good ride. Odd that I’d felt a bit slow early on because that vanished later and I was just rolling quite happily. It’s too long until PBP to maintain that form so I’m going to try to manage that somehow. Thanks for watching and happy riding yourself!

Captured that really well. Your pronunciation is much better than mine...

[@londoncenturies]

:) I used to live there (many years ago). Very fond of Wales. When the sun shines!

[@Ballacks101]

Great ride. Entertaining as always. That decent towards Machynlleth looked stunning

[@londoncenturies]

Yes, that was a great one Simon. Fantastic ride all round, actually. Thanks for watching and happy riding to yourself!

[@PunjabiCyclist]

Another massive ride mate 600km you are on a roll! well done!

[@londoncenturies]

Cheers man, thanks for the encouragement. Nice to see your 200!

[@peterantonsson2984]

Great going on such a long ride. Always fun to watch your adventures.

[@londoncenturies]

Thanks for watching Peter, glad you liked it. Happy riding!

Wales is a great place to cycle. Those roads looked so smooth…. and beautiful scenery.

[@londoncenturies]

Yep, Wales is great. I must say, you don't get many weekends like that though! Very lucky. Happy riding yourself, thanks for watching.

[@guywoollett]

Wow, great weather and the scenery looked amazing. I did the Fenland Friends 600 which was a bit different terrain. I really fancy the Bryan Chapman next year, but surely the weather can't be that good two years in a row...

[@londoncenturies]

That's the way I tend to think too, Guy! But you never know! I've got to say, it was an absolute blinder of a ride. I love Wales and have ridden there many times but I don't think I've ever seen an entire weekend of sunshine and lush greenery quite like that one. I say keep your fingers crossed and go for it - good luck!

[@kaffeemitcola6506]

That was a real inspiration and the things on the side of the road look really worth watching, Tintern Abbey for example but the environment itself beats them all. The ride itself is huge💪 but the ride and filming is more than that☢. Bleib gesund allzeit gute Fahrt und liebe Grüße🙋‍♀

[@londoncenturies]

Thanks v much, it was such a lovely ride, on such a lovely weekend. They're even more special when you don't get so many of them! Happy riding yourself!

[@richardhall263]

Incredible as always

[@londoncenturies]

Thanks Richard!

[@SteveBrill]

Great video again and I continue to wonder how do you that distance with such little rest/sleep? 💪👏

[@londoncenturies]

Thanks Steve. I wondered how I’d get on too. Turns out it wasn’t too bad. I slept VERY heavily that night and caught up pretty quickly. Trying to test these things out before PBP in August but that’s a different kettle of fish entirely! Thanks for watching!

[@Trevor.Adams640]

Is the ride via Capel y Fin the Gospel Pass? I’ve done that in the south to North direction. It’s a great climb.

[@londoncenturies]

Yep, that’s the one. Fantastic, isn’t it? Both directions are good.

[@lmhr9]

Good effort. Would love to do it one day

[@londoncenturies]

highly recommended, I just hope you get as lucky with the weather as we did this year. Happy riding!

[@odetocycling]

Impressive time. Lucky with the weather. All set for PBP now

[@londoncenturies]

Extremely lucky with the weather :) !

[@JaysonBryant]

Quality riding, and the quality of production is getting very swish. Top effort. Chapeau.

[@londoncenturies]

Thanks Jayson, appreciated. Happy riding!

[@Cobwobbler]

400km and 2hours sleep to feel "fresh as a daisy!" I did 50km and had to lie down for a week... Well done Sir 👍

[@londoncenturies]

Er, yes, I confess there was just a tad of poetic licence going on there... ! :)

[@dongxue3909]

Well done 💪

[@londoncenturies]

Thank you! Appreciated. Happy riding yourself!

[@kentcyclist5330]

Lol - spotted me and my mate in the background

[@londoncenturies]

Nice one! What's the time marker in the video?

[@kentcyclist5330]

@@londoncenturies around 10 seconds in, I think. You come steaming past us
