Cycling 150 miles to a fish & chip shop in North Wales - I'm a cyclist and I live in the Pennines

[@yorkshirebrad]

Pure badass. Seen you on the road the other week near holme moss. Im only a 40-50 miler, but let me tell you I'd be having something better than Carling after all that ;) subbed

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Where were you buddy you should have shouted out.... Anyway... I've done some big rides in the past where I felt pretty average - to say the least, then at 90 miles in something weird happens where I come alive ! But that's cycling for ya. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts. Oh and for subscribing.

[@mattjohn7700]

what a brilliant bike ride, really enjoyed that.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Now that was a good ride Matt 🙂 I've done every route into Wales

[@missdarby1]

Oh i look forward to your bike ride vids. My first vid i saw of you was when you did the Way Of The Roses, i was a late comer to cycling, starting at 60, i had a few health issues and bought a second hand bike thinking if the cycling didnt work out, well its not cost me alot. At firsr it nearly killed me doing 15 mins..but stuck with it, and when i was 65 did the W O R. My lad took me to Morecambe. He went home and i set off not knowing what to expect, anyway i made it to Patley Bridge..had booked into guest house, my body was bussing like an electric pylon in a winter frost.,never felt like that before, felt tired but so alive. A few pints that night and next day onto york and stayed there and then the last leg onto Bridlington. Loved it. Ive watched that vid you did..cant belive did it in one go..brilliant. So do please keep your posting your vids , i love them. Cheers jim

Some great experiences there and thank you for sharing them James. The cycling bug can become a life changer and at times quite an expensive one too. Thanks for your kind words they are very much appreciated. I have 3 more cafe stop videos to edit one of which I did in the car with the usual road crew yesterday as it was dreadful the weather, mind you I still did 40 miles later on - in the rain. Take care my friend, and ...until the next time.

[@johnpickering4630]

I'm impressed great distance great scenery I have never been to north Wales but after watching your video I will be going . Keep it coming.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Hello John, hope you're well, we were up at a cafe on Emley moor yesterday but yes I recommend getting out on some of these road for sure. (Make sure you have an nice easy gear for the hills just in case)

[@rwilliams8537]

On/Off cyclist here. Brilliant video! We spend most summer weekends in Abersoch travelling from Flintshire and would love to give it a go on the push rod. Brought a smile seeing you go past my work and all the familiar locations. Thanks for sharing 👍.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and commenting RW. The day after this I did a wild camp on the fantastic summit of carn fadryn in the middle of Pen Llyn. Love it down there . All the best from this end , regards Darren.

[@1000000trs]

Woh - Respect ! , I could not contemplate covering that distance that quick (not yet anyway): but chunky salty chips still taste like heaven after near 150 miles !

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

The best route to here was 194 miles when I did it through Oswestry and lake Vyrnwy . Every route is amazing and you get to see some amazing places.

Wow daz very impressive,but what i ride that will have been for ya 😎💪🚴🏻‍♂️

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

This was a cracking ride Jay. I have cycled every route from Manchester to Abersoch there is. They are all brilliant rides.

[@peterstephens1299]

Great video again - I know the valley you pointed out before Blaenau though I've never worked it - I've been working a bit further south near Transfynydd which might be of interested to you. That side road and the big drop down near the end of the road from Bala to Transfynydd was where Top Gear used to do a lot of their filming - great roads for driving and cycling. Keep the videos coming - always look forwards to your next one. Best regards, Ordog

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Thanks for watching Peter, Sounds like you know your stuff in this location. There's a lifetimes worth of knowledge needed to find gold in these hills. It is all truly fascinating to me.

[@peterstephens1299]

Hi there Daz - access to that valley coming into Blaenau is very difficult - you can get to the top OK, but the interesting stuff is going to be at the bottom - you could try scrambling down from the viewing point car park but it'd be real slog back up again afterwards. There's a couple of small tracks that take you to the south of the cwm but you're on display to the farms as you go round to the bottom of the waterfalls... for an initial foray, if you go 3 miles as the crow flies just south of west of the car park just before the river enters the main channel there's a lovely quiet place to pan right next to the road. Might pick up some nice colours there. PS look at your oldest video:-) Peter

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Thanks for the info Peter on the other video. I do use the old Scottish library maps for research. I found the comments in another area on my channel so I aplogise for the late reply.

[@MrStereog]

I’ve done a ride from Birmingham to betws y coed trough corven and bala and than back.. took me nearly 2 days to get there and around 15 hours to get back.. Im just a casual cyclist , wanted to test my self... You ,my friend are a Gangsta 💪

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Fantastic stuff, any ride like that is a massive achievement pal. 15 hours in the saddle is tough going , thanks for sharing your story.

[@enzzo9492]

I live in Abersoch. Just ordered a road bike today, i need to get a lot fitter but my goal is to eventually ride from Abersoch to Chester in a day 😃

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Fantastic stuff Chris. There are so many different routes to choose from Abersoch but there's a cracking coastal cycling path near the Pen Y clip tunnels leading to Conway that is nice and flat. I've done every way possible from my home town north of Manchester to Aberdaron. Keep training , be safe and best of luck buddy.

[@markjerham2478]

Awesome mate. I do love ur vids 😊😊😊

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

I have cut a lot out of the descents Mark so might do a mini video of it at some point.

[@therealcrab]

Another great ride, don't think I'd cover that distance in a day!!

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

It takes some time to train your body , your legs and mind to do 100 + mile rides but today the weather helped a lot, it did get a bit too hot so taking on board fluids is key . Thanks for watching .

Thanks Diana, It's a top ride out and I've cycled loads of variations on the routes to get from Manchester to Wales and visa versa. Every ride is a good one but always tough.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Hello Simon and thanks for watching. On this occassion I took my parents home in their car and left my car in Wales for the return leg. But I've done this route many times now and will cycle home and back. There are some amazing routes to cherry pick too. the longest was 198 miles .

[@garysmith70]

How did ya get home Dazza?

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Hello Gary, I left my car down there on this occasion but I have done the route to Aberdaron several times too and from home on almost every possible route there is. The longest being over 190 miles via lake Bala and the high level passes in that region. The day after this ride I did the wild camp above Morfa Nefyn kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5rFc35tlptod5I

Amazing.. how do you do it!? I'd struggle driving that distance. I bet you had a great sleep that night.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Thanks for watching Kev, I ask myself questions such as how can the pro cyclist do it but so much quicker. I had a good sleep alright and then did the wild camp on Carn Fadryn the night after lol.

[@kevslife]

@@MrDazP1adv3ntures no problem I enjoyed it. See I'm a fit bloke but I in no way could do that. I can walk for hours whilst out with my airgun or whatever but to have the stamina to do a ride of that distance would ruin me I'm sure. Good job..
