This is why I ride

Nice vid, wish they would get round to resurfacing the glennifer road climb at the start. It was closed in the autumn for some work to be done so i had high hopes for a nice new surface but then when i reopened they had only patched a couple of small sections!

The road definitely could do with some resurfacing

Still, it's not as bad as the junction between Causeyside St/Canal St. I emailed the council about that road, they've apparently had someone down to look at it and "work should start soon".

Nice video, certainly makes me want to go for a ride!

I liked the music as well, only thing for improvement IMO would be to let the wording last a few seconds instead of 20 or so. Although that is really because I can't think of anything else

Liked the video mate..and the sentiment. Wife watched it, didn't get it. Actually, that made it better for me...I totally got it!!!

Will keep that in mind for next time, thanks

I liked the video, and my constructive criticism for your next one would be .. dont leave the writing up for so long, camera angle needs to be level, and when you move your head for the countryside shots move a little slower

Well Done

By Scottish standards, that's in good condition

Thanks for the mention (I am getting a lot of them recently). It was a good video and some good scenery (though not as hilly as North Wales!).

Good video, Jazloc. I've got to know all the climbs onto the braes very well in recent years.

Matthew, your hills of North Wales are mere pimples - head north if you want to see some real hills. Take this one about 20 miles from here - 800 feet in less than 2 miles. (Fairlie Moor) - and that's without crossing the Clyde to get into the mountains.

While we're talking about fantastically surfaced roads, here's the one that I mentioned earlier.

I've been down south for 6 months and some massive craters have appeared in the meantime

33%

Your a better man than me if you can climb that. I'd have to lower my gearing a fair bit to get up even a 20% slope
