Well done Julie inspiring stuff keeping up with Mike
That was such a nice ride! Blue skies, ferry, the end of the world and everything! I want to do that ride!
I especially liked that green hill down hill to "the end of the world" – amazing!
Julie, you really don't like cows, and I think you're probably right. I was reading the other day….oh, better not say…
Julie great job facing bovinophboa. Mike you giving Julie strict instructions thats like holding the ocean back with a spoon 😅. Your early am rides are working keep up the great work thanks for the ride bunkie
Murdery cows
Glad you've had the same weather we've been having these last few days – absolutely gorgeous! Frosty starts mind you, but so good to be out and about in after all the gloom of the last few months.
Great news about the Giant Mike, all sorted in pretty quick time unlike some of the horror stories you hear about where warranty claims take months to be resolved.
Well done for taking on the murdery mooeys, they really do need to be treated with a bit of sensible caution, especially when they've got young'uns around.
Great ride!
I use the adapter that bolts on the conduct for my garmin
I share Julie's fear of cows – they are responsible for most deaths on farms. Well done getting past them.
Spring has definitely sprung. It's been gorgeous the past few days. I've managed a few rides myself. You're right, we are so lucky to live in such beautiful places. We've just moved to the South Hams from Wales, both of which are really lovely. Though I can't believe how much busier it is here, and it's not even peak holiday season yet. As an aside, can I ask what video editing software you use? Your videos are always seamless, whereas mine are very patchy.
It was my birthday on the second, the day of this ride of yours. Thanks to you for stoking inspiration to get out and ride in the sunshine.
Well done Mike and Julie great ride, never even thought about cows being dangerous, I've been around them all my life and never worried about them.
Enjoy your week hopefully the sun will stay with us for a few weeks
I must admit you do live in a beautiful part of the country, I'm also fortunate that I can get to ride in the Dolgellau Barmouth and Bala areas every other week as we have a little caravan there .Well done with your fitness Julie , if you get dropped so what you are out enjoying a smashing ride
@6:50 go on Mr Wheeler. You tell ‘em who’s boss.😊
😢what a BEAUTIFUL day! Great ride!! Well done Wheelers! Looking good for Mallorca!!!
I adore the Isle of Purbeck.
not 'A' pub, THE BANKS ARMS for crying out loud.
Thanks for taking us along with you today, what a glorious ride. 🚴
Fair play for getting out when it’s -2c! 😂
Love this. I'm currently at home stuck nursing and hip injury. No chance of a ride for a while yet. However, I'd love this to be an aim for me. Is there a route you can share with me? I'm not sure of how you got from the ferry to Corfe and then back to the ferry!
Take it easy, Julie. Coming back from your medical is a long journey… My problem in reality took over 1 year. Enjoy and avoid suffering. Over effort is unnecessary and unproductive. 😊
Some of my roots are in Langton Matravers and Worth Matravers and Corfe. Ancestors names everywhere in local churchyards, a lot of them were stone masons in Purbeck quarries.
You should talk to the cows! They are beautiful. They are just curious about us.
20:16 ‘Old Harry Rocks’ just starting to show on the left hand side of the picture. On a clear day you can just make out the Needles lighthouse in the far distance.
Great to see the sun and blue skies. Lovely video with such fantastic scenery. You are correct your gravel is good, in winter our gravel rides are mud, mud, mud only passable with a mountain bike😢. Great ride Julie 👌
Lovely video! Such a beautiful area. Well done both 😊 x
As I have said before, we have Ralph Bankes to thank, who hated developers, so he gave it all to the National Trust.
