RACE AGAINST TIME! TINY E-BIKE, BIG ADVENTURE

🌄 **Great Glen Way Part Two: A Race Against Time with Mirider GB3 E-Bike** 🌄

Join me on the second leg of my journey along the **Great Glen Way** in Scotland. I continue my adventure starting in the tranquil town of **Fort Augustus** as the sun sets. 🌅

Riding my *Mirider GB3* folding commuter E-bike, I’m carrying a @EcoFlowTech power bank to recharge my E-bike batteries while on the move. Facing a critical decision, I must choose between the original Great Glen Way route or the **Caledonia Way** to reach **Inverness** before midnight. ⏰

Experience the scenic landscapes, the challenges of decision-making, and my determination to complete this journey using the Mirider GB3 E-bike. This episode offers a unique perspective on long-distance cycling. 🚴♂️

Stay tuned for the conclusion of this adventure in Part Two, where I test the capabilities of my folding E-bike and enjoy the Scottish countryside at dusk. Don’t forget to subscribe and like the video if you’re excited to see how it all unfolds! 🌟

Well this is part two quick recap welcome to my channel Miss pronounced Adventures my name is Alex on this channel I do a variety of silly things from taking my van up to the Arctic to dressing as a pirate and getting drunk on an electric paddleboard

On my last site big Trevor I thought it’d be a smart idea to walk 50 kilometers in Winter to the Russian border and discovered that maybe a bike would be a better idea I’ve just seen how ridiculous this icicle looks it’s not it’s not I don’t like cycling but I have

Learned I do quite enjoy e-bikes so as someone who’s not ridden more than 25 kilometers before I thought I’d ride 119 kilometers or 74 miles in a day from Fort William to Inverness on a great but inappropriate size bike a mile or GB3 which is a 16 inch folding commuters

E-bike with the power bank straps at the back of it this episode joins us at Fort Augustus where I’m about halfway and it’s getting towards Sunset and I’ve got to make a few decisions so let’s get into it right I’m a bit of a failure I’ve failed to do

The great Glenway in how I wanted to do it so I’m adapting and changing the plan slightly I’ll show you why here is the map greggling way where for August is about halfway runs up this side of the lock it is really hilly and all of the gravelen hills I don’t think I’ve

Generally got enough battery power to do it or get there today but this map does say you can take the national cycle Route 78 which is this one on this side I’m looking at it it’s B Road whilst there is a steep section here the

Rest of it appears to be sort of flat along the lock side and if I want to get to inverse today with the battery power I’ve got which is now a full power bank and a full battery that’s what I’m gonna have to do which is no longer the great Glenway but

Actually National cycle Route 78 is part of the Caledonian way instead so still an official Trail I think it’s achievable for the time period I’ve got so let’s do it or fail but we’ll see onwards it is a beautiful look at the moment mind you look nice your tit apart from

These Hills I’ve got to go over [Applause] foreign off to the side but this is uh going to be quicker and probably less on the battery so let’s be pushing goodness for Gears right time to swap out put the other battery in so this is the third battery

Swap the last two batteries I had been charging the bike whilst riding which generally gave me enough time to charge the spare battery on the back before the battery I was using was fully depleted new battery in right that’s got the right side of the road oh yeah suddenly

A lot more power getting up this hill when the battery was almost flat it was only put in about 370 watt even less now it’s put in well the motor’s put in 440. cruising on up this hill it’s a long long descent though so That’s good I’ve just said about 440

Watt there which might seem a bit confusing since the micro Rider is a 250 watt bike and that’s what the UK lore is the law is 250 watt continuous output and generally that’s what you get in maximum assist mode going on the flat steep uphill or if you’re bogging down

The motor you end up pulling more whops oh this is steep and I’d like to tell you that it was a quick and easy ride past the lock to the top of the hill but it wasn’t Asleep At the beginning it’s only steep at the beginning this hill is steep

Even if I’m peddling already going up it about six miles per hour and using 450 watts of power might as well go off at four miles per hour and uh only use 80 watts and to serve some energy for the bike not me I’m extended energy

So it’s fine to drink gotta get up there I went from there I think it’s downhill for miles and miles all right well it definitely looks pretty up here that’s quite windy now but uh it’s still a long way to go and it’s a very very steep up at the

Beginning and then it flattens out hopefully about 10 miles downhill this place is downhill for a little bit foreign top of the hill half a battery and what looks like a long way down for some reason the the mic’s not charged so I’m gonna have to do this bit without talking again For a bit Wow that’s a hello dear all right well we’ve made it to White Bridge I can’t remember what the lap said something like that which is about mile 51 on my Dominator on here be going downhill for that so long it’s gone from 50 dupar’s charge back up to

Three bars charged whilst we’ve been riding because I’ve got the charger plugged in and the other battery’s charged on the back so we might do it we might just do it my butt hurts right I don’t know how well you could hear me but I think this is my turn off here

To follow the cycle route and when I do I’m committed until I get to the other end this could be downhill forever that’d be great well without pushing again this is Balls of Fire I have it bounced and this is like the last bit of accommodation or something I believe

Oh the big one for tonight so this is the give up point if you want to give up I don’t so commit to Inverness it’s getting dark so I’ll turn the uh the front light on there’s Loch Ness down there committed well start now well I’m back down at Loch Ness

Which whilst it’s pretty it means there is no more downhill for me to go down so I’ve got to ride it properly from here right it’s probably a bit dark that you can’t see me uh according to the GPS I got 23 kilometers to go so get in there oh [Applause] entering

Entering doors just run over my effort where are we all right I’m in somewhere called doors I’m about nine miles from Inverness I think or I mean the end point which is Inverness Castle this battle is almost flat but I’ll wired it till it’s dead

And then the one which I think is on the back is fully charged and I think there’s about 20 left in the um power bank so you should be able to do it should be able to do the last 10 miles of quite a bit of assistance on the e-bike as well

Right that’s this battery flat whilst doing this battery swap I’ve realized I’ve not complained enough about my bum about mile 50 my 19 pound new padded shorts weren’t really cutting it for the last 15 miles I’ve not really been able to sit any longer without being in excruciating pain

There we are fully charged put the light back on all right let’s pack up the bag right as long as I ride it reasonably probably on this assist to that should get me there without running out of power oh that’s acceleration of this new battery all right let’s get right in

I think that might have just been the last bit of uphill I’ve just crested oh my bum is so so sore [Applause] four miles at Inverness oh where are we right Inverness is here we are here it does say the 78 turns off and does something here but I really can’t be

Bothered to do that so I’m just going to follow this road straight down and then it saw a few kilometers left into Inverness oh let’s finish it off might as well just rinse the battery power right there the markers for the great Glenway it’s joined back up again so I’ve just got a

Finish it I have elected to uh put the bike on maximum power and just rinse the battery for the last little bit almost there where’s the end get in there you know what trying to find the end of this it’s so easy I think it is the castle

Of course it’s got a steep hill Why why it ends all begins right that is the end ometer on the bike is 76.8 mile and it’s 20 to midnight and I thought I’d get here I could record a nice little bit of film by the end kind of by myself and someone else has just arrived at the

Last second who’s just started his ride or finishing his ride so I booked a hotel so I’m gonna go find that catch up in a minute foreign I’m not bving or camping I’ve got a hotel ribbon Inverness so I’m honest I’m not too tired I’ve just got a really

Really sore bum if I’m honest with you however that has been loads of fun yes it’s not a long distance mountain bike but it’s worked quite well as one to do 76 miles today I did intend to do the great Glenway I ended up doing the Caledonia

Way instead yes I’m using an e-bike makes life easy I did rinse batteries I’m not insure the final amount but I think about five and a half batteries I ended up using or almost two entire power Banks and then those two batteries full to begin with I got a lot more

Distance out of it when I was on the B Road and the nice gravel then I would have I wouldn’t be able to complete if I did it on the great Glenway if you want to learn more about the myrider and maybe how it’s used in a more conventional settings for commuting but

I like it it folds in half it fits nicely in my van in the back corner speaking of my van I don’t really know how to get back to it because it’s in Fort William but if you want to find out more about the my rider or the my rider

GB3 which is this one particularly go check out the my Riders website thank you very much my rider for working together this has been a fun little time and I wanted to do this route for a while um I am actually I am a bit tired if you’ve liked this madness
