Going's tough for Westheads as they head across China

* Louis admits on the video diary that he's been finding tough to get used to his new gravel bike. 

One of the three Llangollen area lads cycling to Thailand is still having problems with his new bike and his arm following his recent collision with a car.

Dyfan Hughes, 18, from Llangollen, Louis Dennis, 19, from Garth, and James Thomas,19, from Wrexham are making their 1,000 journey in aid of the British Heart Foundation in memory of Tony Edge, the father of their friend Harrison who died following a heart attack in 2024.

It was Louis who had the smash, which destroyed his trusty bike and left him with a fractured wrist.

This meant he and his two mates had to take an unplanned break while he recovered from his injury and got himself a new bike.

But shortly after the trio got back in the saddle to continue their journey Louis admitted in one of their daily video diaries that although his wrist appeared to have mended, he was now having trouble with his left arm which was giving him pain each time he rode over a bump in the road.

He was also finding it hard to get used to the controls of his new gravel bike - acquired with money raised at home thanks to the urging of Llangollen Barber Shop's Emma Davies - and another problem he mentions is that his helmet was cracked in the collision, leaving him in need of a replacement.

A further snag the lads report is having to hitch-hike for a 50km stretch of road after being advised by the police it wasn't safe to ride. While two of them were given a lift in a police car the other one was dropped off in the wrong place by the driver who gave him a lift.

One thing that's going right for them is that donations still coming in online for the British Heart Foundation for which they have so far raised over £50,000.
