Big days in the saddle and adventure is what summer is all about right?! This year Neil's big summer rides have been a lot closer to home. But that doesn't mean he had to ride boring trails. He spent lockdown planning rides using Komoot and is now able to let the Garmin show him the way so that he can worry about the riding and just smash some exciting trail riding that's local to him 🤘
In association with Garmin.

I loved it - looked like a perfect day. I think the thing I liked the most about riding in the UK was the access. You aren't limited to driving to a trail center for a day ride, but can easily explore a whole region by bike via bridlepaths, singletrack, and farm roads. I'm quite sure that's why Komoot hasn't taken off here in the US as well as in Europe.

@ruanvorster2596 4 года назад

I made this comment for the video martyn did about things going wrong on a ride but its 4 days old now so not many people are watching so I'll put it here🙂 Picture this: you are going on a big adventure, in the middle of nowhere, with your friends showing you around, because you have never been! Until it all goes wrong... You fly down the black run, having all sorts of fun! 🥳 You've got a clean bum, until the rain starts to come ☔ It ruins the jump you're about to shred, and you then end up with a very sore head🤕 There's no air in your tire, it's getting quite dire☹️ You've forgotten your tube and your friends shout "you're a tube!"😩 Your friends look quite bored, and they shout "all aboard!"😲 They hop on the their bikes, wish you a good night, and you're left on your own, just you and your bike😫 You're finally ready, you shout "let's get shreddy!" 🤟 But there's a crack in your frame! Oh this is just lame🙄 Your stuck in the forest, with less clue than Boris 🧐 Bikes are NOT great, you shout, full of hate😠 You phone for a lift, feeling quite miffed😤 You get a new frame, one just the same🙂 Your bike's good as new, in good looking blue🔵 So please don't pout, the sun is out!🌞 You go for a spin, this time it's a win 💯 You exclaim "alright! Not a problem in sight!" 👌 No longer are you filled with hate, because really, bikes ARE great😊

@matthieubrasselet1 4 года назад

Garmin is pushing all the channels to promote their new device. Anyway still GMBN my MTB content lighthouse and Neil has always his human humility approach I always find myself in. Yep I am not a champ, but have so much fun in shredding the trails the way I can the way I want and this is what Neil inspires us. Thumbs up for the footage and the backstage guy that captured the motion, he had also to ride on top 😁

@captain_barnacles 4 года назад

Know those hills well, and they’re so overlooked as a riding location, they have a huge variety of trails - fire roads, single tracks, technical and smooth, a downhill area and even some massive gap jumps through the woods. You can easily ride all day there. Good choice for some big rides 👍
