Riding TOURMALET!!! Ride Across the Pyrenees Day3

I never thought I would be able to do this SOLO! But I'm doing it, and want every single one of you watching to know you can do the exact same thing.

And I want to share the tech I use on trips like this that give me confidence AND safety riding across the Pyrenees.

Super proud for Garmin to support me and my channel - so thank you as ALWAYS for their support and for sponsoring this video.

I LOVE love love their products and these are my go-to for solo trips:

Navigation / pacing : https://www.garmin.com/en-GB/p/1196129
To be honest any of the head units are great (Especially the 1030/40 series) but my chosen beast for this trip is the Edge 1050.

SAFETY: https://www.garmin.com/en-GB/p/592606
This little thing makes me feel so safe esp when I'm in the middle of nowhere as it uses satellites for messaging and live location (using Map Share) and also... for the 24/7 SOS button in any emergency.

If you have any questions about anything navigation / safety related post them in the comments and happy to answer and chat :)
