What are we getting into? | Mountain Biking Snowdon

we are getting started early this morning we're in Snowdonia and we're gonna take on Snowden this is one of just another one of the rides that I keep hearing about that so many of you guys have told me to go do I'm actually so jazzed that every single day we've pretty much done a bucket list ride in the UK it's been perfect we've got clouds today but it feels perfect so not worried about it at all we've been so lucky with the weather this is perfectly fine I'm gonna be riding the orange Stage si

x today and guy was on it yesterday so he had to switch the brakes around and got it back in action he's gonna be riding the orange Stage five we're gonna have like some crazy 3,000 foot climb up and up and up and it's like 5:30 in the morning right now because you have to be off the Rangers path by 9:30 a.m. because there's so many hikers that come up and it's it's a conflict if there's a bunch of bikers bomb and down the trail so we're gonna get up there nice and early and we might actually ge

t back to the hotel before we have to check out then get a shower in we're rolling out from the Royal Victoria Glen Baris Glenda I'm learning I'm learning well Matt check number one oh how we made progress yeah the last I'll be seeing over man there was a little tea house down the road that we were passing I should have got a shot of the sign said it rain 6 months of the year my assumption on that is that it rains every other day that's six months of the year is there nothing that's futile as as

king if someone's okay half a second after they crash I do the same thing no I need an ambulance let's turn around this is quite the pretty picture actually look for the easy lines some nice handiwork right here this right here is a hey shut up I'm talking this right here is a narrow gauge hey damn sheep this is a narrow gauge railway so there's like a little mini railroad that moves hey you guys just you won't shut up there's a mini railroad that goes from the bottom to the top I do not know if

it takes bikes or not I didn't have the heart to ask guy cuz I would have loved to take it out as great as this is look at that I'm actually going slow enough that guy's in his Eagle gear and he's sitting down climbing I broken okay looks like it's gonna be hiked I'm a bike home time slow and steady this is getting tough there we go wind at my back help me up my side Oh ice close ice + ed hey hey what's up man alright look at this alright let's keep moving so we managed to pick up James along t

he way here he's been emailing with me he's starting to bike shop down the street all about an hour away there you go check it out after this he was the only person that I really emailed with and said that I was coming to the UK because it's an epic pain in the ass to try to coordinate anything I've already jerked him around like five times like okay we'll be there Wednesday no the other Thursday yeah so everyone that's but hurt that I didn't tell him I was coming that's why cuz she was gonna ge

t jerked around unless you came on a patreon ride of course talk about dragons nice okay looks like we're gonna push on to the summit over there nice I think this just became an epic ride this scenery this road here it's too good to be true all these nice edge rocks so that's where the little railway ends apparently okay I've made the ultimate crime when I had a snack I actually let my mind wrapper blow away so I'm gonna try to pick up as much trash as I can see you to pay it forward the paper o

kay bag of dog I am NOT into taking that okay I got a bunch of stuff I feel good all right James stay safe and I'll see you buddy James's head back he's just doing out back we're going for the Rangers Machu Picchu James said that about five people died on that thing a year hiking paths [Music] [Music] a little bit going this is so cool oh I need another piece of garbage off I don't think I'm gonna get to it yes bag crisps Highline yeah oh just resting on the chain ring I thought maybe the Highli

ne I could come in this is an adventure ride the Battle of Snowdonia nope Wow oh shoot look at that we're going on there that Ridgeline nice long bike and I'm not afraid to just stop and walk it cuz I like my collarbone just the way it is look at these rocks Wow let's pick the bike up in the air it's like a sail this is bound binding it's just a freaking crazy adventure oh there's two paths here oh it's so calm so nice this is definitely the goofiest step there's gnarly there's janky there's goo

fy looks like there's a line on the left here this rock is crazy okay the stuff Wow I'll let off the brakes for half a second and you're flying Oh puncture see what's not doing it oh yeah you've got that like kind of filler thing yeah I've seen this stuff so it's sealant and air basically goop gu p ya think so there we go it's coming out there they're in now okay yeah okay the tire feels pretty good ha ha I would have tried it if I had this stuff to it seems pretty good now now it seems like I c

an't even find the hole and it's crazy I want to get to the point got a lot of air just really make sure that this is sealed come on goop I'm feeling good there's only one way to find out haha okay let's get oh man I love it it's riding really nice floating down them Thank You goop working our way through the chunk good times and bad lines let me get my eyes up try out a little finding it hard [Music] from the rangers pass to the sheep's path whoops whoops just getting started there's like a mil

lion little rise that'll throw you over the bars like so it's funny my biggest complaint about this bike I've been loving it it's been going down everything climbing not so much it's okay freakin handlebar is so step the hell out of me oh my hands need a break so bad oh I hear it it's slow one keep it rolling it'll keep your whole there's still a ton of air in the tire right now so if we keep rolling it maybe she'll reseal oh it does roll - it does roll right now it's walking sorry not obnoxious

yeah uh-huh I was so close I was gonna be a big victory we have not gone the right way what's the Navigator say navigate says he's an idiot mate this is oh this is the super techie one unsurprisingly free to do so it's not the Rangers path we'll call it the Kesavan track it's cool oh man it's all about the ride doesn't matter what it's called as long as I get out of it alive I'm not having to walk a flat tire this would be nice in the way little bit that was sweet huh Wow he nailed that I chick

ened out guys all bent out of shape it's not going the wrong way but hey I was really good so wait I'm guessing we got all we're gonna get now it looks like it's coming back to this the town and this fire road type thing drovers road now the most dangerous part begins these roads are quite sketchy just to drive on when there's two-way traffic look at that we had this much room we're a lot smaller than cars so we know the car is that way we were just up there so we got to get on the other side of

this this Ram is huge I'm actually a little scared if he tries to make a move there it is I see the summit I see the edge we came off of I see the left side we climb let's go guy was smart enough to actually see this sign and it has an arrow that says the way we want to go hook it up what the hell is this a nice perfect paved path the joke's on us see what we can see a little bit of smoothness Oh to smooth as my eyes water up glasses on glasses off story of my life he'll mine Calistoga Oh prote

cting the rear tire as much as I can nice get you next time this hub is so loud I'm surprised I was actually here able to hear that culture that I got way back when I keep thinking I'm hearing them then I just start pedaling in the hub makes it disappear looks like we got a cattle run going are we okay what do you want us to stop her okay thanks here we go mess with the bull there they go haha last stand adventure around every corner all right we made it back we might actually be able to hop in

the shower before checkout time we didn't end up making the deadline for the shower but I'm still feeling pretty fresh and get the wet wipes down so now we're heading into town and guy said there's a pretty good place called Pete's eats there we go is right around the corner Pete's eats a serving up a proper double burger here Oh baby with chips so we've made our way to Denby which was like about an hour up the road and James is actually starting up a bike shop back here so we're gonna go check

it out very very busy today at the fish-and-chip shop next door nice let's let's check it out yeah yeah the future home Kazu coos kazoku cousin what kensaku kazakh who cycles so James has got some work to do it's gonna open maybe in a couple weeks in June probably by the time this video yeah we just missed the sign he was gonna have a sign up and batter when really cool but good luck comes together you know today's bike shops have to be more about building community it's not about selling stuff

anymore it's about working on people's bikes and building a community so there we go that's the logo that's what the sign is gonna look like uh-huh cool so if you're in Denby be on the lookout starting up we've gotten a recovery day ahead of us now and oh I'm gonna chill out for a little while ride ride ride thanks for watching you guys I'll see you on the trail
