Leonard you are the reason I started (and continue) cycling. I’m an injured veteran with complex mental health issues caused by my military service. I’m very overweight and have no body confidence and an alcoholic (3 years sober). I look like 5lb of bubble gum stuffed in a 2lb bag when I’m in my cycling gear but I keep going. I’d love to ride with others but feel I’m too slow. Thanks for keeping me going. Regards Phil

Keep pedaling Phil!!! I'm a ye olde fart veteran... disfigured... But like my other half says " it doesn't matter what others think, say or do, you just get on that bike and ride and enjoy every pedal stroke" life is too short and enjoy every bit of it!!!

@ronhoover5516 7 месяцев назад

@Jaqaroo 7 месяцев назад

That was great, Leonard! It's really interesting coming along with you on your rides and getting to see some of Hampshire.

@dewindoethdwl2798 7 месяцев назад

Loving the enthusiasm you portray. Cycling for the love of the journey. Today you could have knocked me over with a feather …. The sun has come out, the wind has dropped and it’s nice to be outside. Nicest bike ride of the year, from Bangor to Pont y Penglog at the top end of Nant Ffrancon for a coffee at Ogwen Cottage followed by a speedy whizz back down the hill to home. Not super far but so nice, having views. I’m sure I’ll be back inside the heavy weather kit quite soon 😂

@kenlaw7503 7 месяцев назад

Enjoy the CTCT. It's an wonderfully scenic route and an awesome atmosphere. Pity you couldn't be here in Port Elizabeth on the 18th Feb to ride The Herald Continental Cycle Tour as well, another 106km coastal tour with wonderful views and 1048m of climbing.🙂

@reidwagner1508 7 месяцев назад

you are very fortunate to have fun prepping for that long ride. I enjoy watching your cycling adventures. Keeps me willing to try more

@FuchsHorst 7 месяцев назад

Nice motivational video. Suffered two crashes this year already (1x ice, 1x trying to avoid a car taking my right of way). So currently bound to the turbo and short distance riding.

@yakoridesagain 7 месяцев назад

Lovely silky smooth footage, ELOD. Do you find the editing takes much longer when all angles are available, or easier (‘think a front shot now…back to me for a bit’ etc?). Do you love editing? I confess I love it!

@jollygoodvelo 7 месяцев назад

I do like editing but yes, the 360 cameras do make it a bit time consuming. Make shooting much easier, though.

Hi Leonard lots of information on your rides I like it ,I talk a lot when out on my bike, I spotted your selfie stick on part of your blog I have a 360 😊

@mrewers2316 7 месяцев назад

Nice ride Leonard. Nice to see my local route. Have you tried Lynch Lane, from West Meon uo to Old Winchester Hill. I discovered it last weekend. Short, but a killer. Apparently 27%. You should give it a try...

@jollygoodvelo 7 месяцев назад

I drove up it a few weeks back and it didn’t look too bad but things can be very deceptive in a car.

@mrewers2316 7 месяцев назад

@jollygoodvelo for me it was a case of back wheel spinning or front wheel in the air. Almost came to a standstill, but just made it.

@BikepackingAdventures 7 месяцев назад

I have the same light on my gravel bike, I am particularly impressed with the mount, or rather the mounting system. The mount feels flimsy, but I've ridden plenty off-road and so far so good.

@jollygoodvelo 7 месяцев назад

It’s a great light. As you can imagine, I do get sent quite a few!

@bikenbeers 7 месяцев назад

Nice Vid. How do you get your audio so crisp using the Insta360 OneX2 camera? Or are you using a secondary mic??

@jollygoodvelo 7 месяцев назад

It’s the X3 camera and I plug a Røde Go radio mic in. Because it’s no wider than the camera, it becomes invisible in 360.

@cyclnvancouver8060 7 месяцев назад

That looked like a nice ride. The weather sure reminds me of home (and not in a good way). Well done on your 120km ride. Good luck in S.A.

That last descent is actually quite scary. I’m usually on the brakes until the re-surfaced bit.

@kevinlambright283 7 месяцев назад

Great video and ride! When are you going to be in Capetown? That sounds interesting! I love hearing terms like Beacon Hill - that has a very different meaning here in Boston in "New England" :). Beacon hill in Boston is definitely a hill, but very densely populated and not really suitable for cycling. My daughter actually lives in an apartment on Beacon Hill in Boston. Love the scenery on all your rides, I really hope to get over to England and cycle there at some point! I really enjoy your videos, very inspirational!

@jollygoodvelo 7 месяцев назад

I spent quite a while in Boston. My regular ride was out to Framingham and back but once I did find myself riding up Beacon Hill.

@kevinlambright283 7 месяцев назад

@@jollygoodvelo Boston to Framingham is a heck of a ride! And riding up Beacon hill is definitely a challenge!

@MrChippiechappie 7 месяцев назад

48 km what’s that in English 28 to 30 miles my longest ride so far this year is 81.82 miles so pushing towards 130 km might try for my first century of the year this Sunday if it’s dry and not stupid windy 100 miles not Kilometres so 160 km.
