Extreme Wales With Richard Parks

Ex-rugby dude turned adventurer Richard Parks plots “the highest cycling route in Wales” over four days, riding from the Brecons to Snowdon with a few trail centres in between.

Cheers.

Nice one

Set to record, thanks

Well, that was awful!

The best bit was the look of the road in the intro. Any idea where it was?

What pedals was he using on his road bike?

Bit late, but I thought it was really disappointing and it felt more like an advert for Specialized bikes than anything else.

Given he did the Tour Divide in 2015, I was hoping he was going to do the trip in true bike packer fashion.

I thought it was alright to be honest

Didn’t blow my mind, but it made me want to go and ride my bike and the more bikes on TV the betterer

Fair point.

What pedals was he using on his road bike?

Speedplay frogs, i think that’s what they’re called. Sort of work opposite to normal clips as the pedal acts of as a cleat and the cleat on the shoe receives the pedal.

I think i-ride distribute them, but it’s been ages since I worked in bike shops so I’m probably wrong.
