100% agree to go at your own pace 👍🏼 on climbs makes a lot of sense.

@thewelshwonder1965 21 день назад

Unless the slower climber gets a mechanical or worse, hurt themselves and you don’t know about it

I agree with riding at your own pace is best. 🙂

Totally agree Juliet. Ride at your own pace otherwise it’s stressful❤

Fond memories of cody y brenin, used to mountain bike there 20 years ago before the visitor centre was built, thanks for sharing this, great energy as always Juliet... 😊

Hello Juliet... I can recommend using Vicks Vapor Rub to repel the midges! It's a natural and strong smell. Put some around the back of your neck and your ankles. No risk of spilling any liquid either 👍👍

@JulietElliottsChannel 12 дней назад

Really! That’s a new one for me. Worth trying for sure

@johnmcnulty1129 21 день назад

Great scenery Jools & no puncture or mech problems ! Happy chickens :) When you see Katie the mountain goat again, think she said she's off to the Pyrenees soon. Recommend a "beastie" 10K climb she can try, just to the east of the Tourmalet, Col De Beyrede. That'll have the mountain goat huffin & puffin ! Hope the Universe & cycling gods watch over you & Laura, maybe they can have a word with the midges, to go............ ☀️ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Own pace is best Jules! Whether it's cycling,walking or --- whatever, own pace

@vermilionink 20 дней назад

As long as all riders are at peace with going at their own pace, and there's no feeling of shame or blame for being slower, it makes a lot of sense! It's just important to remember to let your slower friends also have a break at the meetup point. (My least favorite thing is catching up with a fast group, and they've all been resting and recovering but once the slow group arrives they immediately want to push off again.)

@JulietElliottsChannel 19 дней назад

Absolutely! We have all been that person at some point

@GrahamAtDesk 20 дней назад

That was a really useful overview of what the trail's like, thank you! I also love a campsite when bikepacking (can't beat a shower at the end of a long day). And a pub. 🙂 I've done a fair bit of bikepacking in groups, and despite a strong preference in those groups for riding together socially, climbing at your own pace seems to be a pretty unanimous preference! 💯

@Francesco_M. 7 дней назад

Me and my old broom of a dad, that's how we do it: he's going ahead of me setting his own pace which evidently it is going to be _unhurried_ and me, I'm staying behind adjusting mine to his. At any point, we're going up together ! I'm onto the next episode already, I want to see where this is going to end up the two of you eh ! Big guts has she to even attempt wild swimming there, I'm with you Juliet on this one, I would have stayed put too. =]

@BokorRider 21 день назад

a smokey camp fire gets rid of Scottish midges alternatively light up a cigarette ..dont know if it will work in Wales but it worked in the 80's in Scotland..I was not a smoker but the adults were .... yes ride your own pace great idea

@alanbenham4139 12 дней назад

Not weird. Just the best option for both you in terms of fitness & gearing.

@lazlo2511 18 дней назад

You got to do this again but with a time frame goal. Gravel bike for the win.👍🏻

@stuartdilts2729 18 дней назад

It's nice to go your own pace, especially if you are usually the slow one like me. Although if it's a short one, it's kinda fun to try and keep up.

@Cyberjenne 19 дней назад

Pro tip for such adventures: create a profile on your bike computer and leave out speed + average and just enjoy the ride at your pace. Then you won't feel preasure by numbers in your head. You can look it up afterwards... I found it made me much more relaxed and I'm able to take in the environment better. 😉

@alicat749 17 дней назад

I got a fine mesh bag thingy that you put over your head to keep the midges off. Works well but Dose make drinking your sneaky can of beer awkward.

@JulietElliottsChannel 13 дней назад

I have a midge hat - should have taken it!

The big grey box on the lake of Trawsfynydd is a former nuclear power station and the water from the reservoir was used to coolthe reactor!

Nuclear power station... Not Hydroelectric. It is being decommissioned, and (I think) it will be buried in slate as this is cheaper than properly decommissioning it :(

@Colleenann61 21 день назад

I think it depends on if you are the strong climber or the not so strong climber. If I am the strong climber, then I am totally fine with going my pace up the climb and waiting at the top. If I’m the not so strong climber, I find myself feeling that I have to go harder so the stronger person isn’t waiting too long (even though I have absolutely no problem waiting when I’m the stronger climber…why is that?). I also feel like I shouldn’t stop until I’m at the top. I’m trying to get over that, but it’s tricky.

gravel doesn't have good geometry for climbs it is also limited by tire clearance

@arndtbc 19 дней назад

Which bike was the right bike for this trip, Gravel or Mountain?

@JulietElliottsChannel 19 дней назад

For me, gravel. Laura said she’d rather have been on a gravel bike because of all the road sections

@sandgroper1970 20 дней назад

Hey why not have a sugar fix after a climb, you have expended a fair amount of energy going up hill. Dentists etc probably would not agree .

Very roughly for Welsh pronunciation f = v ff = f d = d dd = th Obviously it's more subtle than that but that should get you by

What about "ll"? (I remember many years ago asking a Welsh lady for directions to Llanelli, and the way she pronounced it was so incredibly beautiful).
