I don't even know where the Forest of Dean is, but I did say "relatively flat roads" which they are in comparison to the roads I ride.

Yeah, I know what you mean and i have tackled and conquered some of the toughest hills local to me.Same here but I love tackling them
That doesn't mean to say I'm any good at them tho

If you regularly climb anything called a 'bank' I agree with your point completely.I don't even know where the Forest of Dean is, but I did say "relatively flat roads" which they are in comparison to the roads I ride.
Chapeau!
(I got up a 'bank' once without stopping - I was ever so pleased with myself but I had to have a little lie down at the top to recover!)

Looked like a great ride, shame about the cramps. I must get over to the Forest on the road bike one day. We do family rides over there but a proper road blast has got to be a good thing !
Keep up the videos - looking forward to some proper mudslinging ones on the MTB.

I only ever go into beast mode when I'm on a relatively short ride and want to get a PR etc. Otherwise it's the good old phrase 'Spinners are winners' for me.
Keep spinning and save as much energy as poss as I just enjoy getting to the top

Yes, there were some nice roads there.
You've reminded me that I used to get cramp a lot when I was out on longer rides but it doesn't seem to happen much now. I'm not exactly sure why. I do make sure that I eat and drink enough and my bikes are set up to suit me. I will probably get horrendous cramp on my next long ride now!
