In this video I cycle from Swansea, South Wales to Manchester AND back, a 300km / 186 mile ride (x2), for a bike show. Much better than driving in this weather!

A little about Ed….
Ed is an elite cyclist, 2019 British Hill Climb Champion and former Under 23 British RR Champion. He has raced as a Continental level Professional Rider for one of the most successful British cycling teams in Japan, Korea, Australia, Canada, Azerbaijan to name a few. He is also a public speaker, coach, and founded the on/offline cycling community, Backpedal. At the start of 2021, the Discord community began, and plonked many of Ed’s viewers in to a 550+ strong group of people that had many things in common. Not least wanting to explore the world and pedal their bikes faster!
Ed coaches lots of cyclists in the online community too! If you are interested, email [laverackcoaching@yahoo.com] for information on the 1-2-1 coaching package and training plans, of which there are many and flexible options to suit everyone!
Ed now prioritises having fun with my hard earned fitness and knowledge in the sport. Showcasing that maybe there is an alternative to racing for teams when you can race for yourself and your community of followers and brands. This YouTube channel is a docu-series highlighting what it’s like to be a cyclist in today’s competitive age of sport.

3:53 ~ Oh, Victoria baths!! 🤓
what a cool trip!
That was one heck of a round trip!
Definitely had nice weather for it
I've been from Windsor Castle to Oystermouth castle 3 times with my pals at Cycle Cafe based in Swansea , Llanduno to Mumbles for RNLI & Wales Air Abulance & LEJOG with Port Talbot Wheelers in 2009 but Swansea to Manchester & back in basically a weekend is awesome 💪 Chapeau buddy 👍
Thanks again for the ride along!.
What a fantastic trip 🙌🙌
I struggle to explain to non-cycling folk the simple joy of a long ride – fast enough to cover a decent distance, but slow enough to stop anytime and take in the beauty of a tiny village you'd otherwise never visit, and the fact that I'll likely repeat that 10 times in a 100-mile ride. Nothing else like it.
Epic trip Ed! excellent, enjoy the recovery!!
2 hours on the bike and my bum is done, can't imagine 12 😵
Wow, what a ride. I plan to ride around my country Lithuania in couple of month. It will be around 1200 k and the plan is to do it in 1 week.
Epic.
I have a friend that does this, he rides to Manchester from Taunton to see his parents, then rides back on the Sunday, I have the itch to ride up to see my Brother who lives in Chester, not sure about riding home though 😉
