- A Film By Barry Godin - Jennride 2022 - Bikepacking Journey from the Yorkshire Dales to the Lake District
Jennride is an amazing bikepacking charity event in memory of Jenn Hill and organised by Richard Munro who creates a different incredible route through the spectacular Lake District every year.
This year we ventured from Staveley north towards Keswick and Borrowdale. This is an area I knew very well and was so excited the route went that way this year. But in two days, 100miles and 4600m of climbing are tough, and Lake District miles are longer than a regular mile :-)
But I always attend Jennride with a ride into the Lakes from various locations where i can get a cheap train to. This year I picked up where I had left my journey on the Pennie Bridleway and the Great North Trail, and started in Skipton and spent my first night at Gordale Scar just by Malham, and in my eyes one of the most spectacular and sublime sights in the entire United Kingdom.
Enjoy and let me know what you think :-) Cant wait to see you all next year
awesome ride BG and friends, stunning locations and a great film capturing it all - nice one!
Ahh this trip was incredible, so great to ride with so many people!
Ace man.
Thanks so much!
Epic Barry… the videos has been worth the wait. 👏🏻👏🏻 thanks for the company on hikeabike over Gatescarth pass🤙🏻
Haha, thanks so much! Yeah that was a rather chunky push, which i knew was coming, so made it worse, haha. See you Next year!
@@barrygodin7538 you’ve set our expectation for 2023!
Fantastic once again, bud!
Thank you so much :-)
Amazing
Kicking off with that incredible scenery! Surely you didnt take the drone on your bike? :)
Haha, thanks so much! Oh yeah there is a huge amount in that bike, drone, chair, watercolours haha
Just started watching your films absolutely brilliant love them. Would you be able to do a bike and kit film would love to know what you use 😊👍👏👏👏
Hey Ian! Thanks for joining my adventures ;-) I have done a few films of kit carried, also there is a mini series BG tips with needs a little update, but that talks in detail all the stuff i carry
@@barrygodin7538 thanks Barry I’ll have a look at those happy biking 😊👍
If this doesn’t inspire you to do the Jennride, there’s no hope for mankind.
And why not throw in a shed load more miles for added fun!
Brilliant film, great memories, cheers Barry, Allen and Danny and the supporting cast.
Ahhh thanks so much David!!! Yeah it is a great event and i look forward to it so much each year
I suspect Jenn would be proud and a little embarrassed about the event that carries her name. Well done everyone for keeping her memory alive.
Thank you so much, I sadly never had the pleasure of knowing her, but this event really does carry the memory for her
Wow too... again spectacular scenery, great riding and lucky (partially) with the weather. Bumpy ride for sure!
Haha, got to love bumps :-) thank you so much
Hi Barry, it’s taken me a long time to get that film in. I’m glad I saved it for Christmas week. Another great film and what a place to ride. It made me want to visit the lakes again next year. Thanks for taking time to make another film. Hope you had a good Christmas and let’s hope we all have a happy new year with lots of adventures
It has taken me even longer to reply haha. Merry Christmas :-) Oh yes trying to dream and plan this years adventures :-)
Very spectacular views. Mind sharing the route? Thanks
Thanks Ian, do some googling and you will find all the jennride routes, they are different each year
Hi Barry, how are you? I really like watching your videos. They are inspiring, I hope one day we can meet on some trip and talk. I love bikepacking and I would be very grateful if you could share this route with me so I can plan and embark on this journey. A big hug
Superb Barry, what an amazing route !
Thanks Mark!
Thanks Barry that was brilliant to watch and you clearly put a lot of work into making it. It looked great fun but boy way above my capability. Totally agree about having suspension as I brought a Boardman Gravel bike that had none and going off road on it was so bad I sold it on. If I ever do replace it I will get a MTB with front suspension. We had a great discussion on Touring bikes last night on the CTF and I can definitely see why you wouldn't want racks riding across the terrain you did. Stay safe. Ted
Hi Ted! Thank you so much for watching. I have been riding rigid for many years, but I kept pushing it on the technical terrain, so suspension has just helped the fun rather than fear factor haha. Yes panniers vs bikepacking is a great discussion, many pros and cons of each :-) the CTF is the best ever festival, very looking forward to a physical one again :-)
@Barry Godin Thanks for replying Barry. I am so glad that Tim & Laura have continued with the virtual CTF as I doubt whether I will ever get to the actual festival. Whilst I realise these are hard financial times for many people I di hope that most people that are on live do donate whatever they can afford to it as its great value. Even being on a pension given I devour it all £20 is a no brainer for me. Stay safe.
Another great vid. Worth the wait 🙂
Thanks so much James!!!
Stunning Scenery, excellently captured. Congratulations on a great ride and a superb video.
Thank you so much Jon! Yes rather happy with this film
Cracking video mate 👌
Matey!!! Thanks so much :-)
Awesome Barry, one for next year.
Thanks so mcuh! Yes you must it is a great ride :-)
Wow... that my friend is your best yet, 40 minutes of pure joy to watch, fabulous scenery, edited to perfection!!! Hats off Barry that was stunning mate and look forward to your next adventure!!!
Hey Paul! Thanks so much! Yeah rather proud of this one and the way it came together :-)
Great video Barry, captures what's so special about Jennride. I did (briefly) consider going from Skipton on the Friday, but the prospect of 60 miles into that headwind put a stop that that idea!
Haha, love the consideration!! You would of bumped into me faffing about 😂 yeah that wind was brutal!!! And a head wind all the way 😂
@@barrygodin7538 Maybe next year, I keep saying. See you there, hopefully.
Looked like an amazing experience - incredible how far and how fast your bike takes you. Was the suspension fork a factory option or did you add it separately?
Hey Conor!! Yeah the bike is the best mode of transport ever! The places it has taken me!!! The bike is a custom build, if you watch up past two films i tell you all about it :-)
How’s the pike Barry?
They are incredible - I and running them with 4 volume spacers and at lower pressures, so super supple but not blowing though will all the weight!
@@barrygodin7538 I have a Trek Xcaliber 9 for my bike packing bike, with a RockShox Judy Silver and was wondering if the juice is worth the squeeze of upgrading to a Pike?
Another fantastic video, thank you.
Thank you so much :-)
Stunning!
Thanks so much :-)
A delightful movie experience Barry. Thank you. Beautifully and thoughtfully crafted. I’m inspired to bikepack the Lakes and/or do Jennride next year! Also, I sense a new camera (?) as the image quality is nearly as good as your production quality!
Hey Julian! Thankyou so much! Yeah I do use very simple gear to film, would love to one day use a proper camera, but then more to try and carry, hence the iphone photography still. What do you carry and use?
@@barrygodin7538 I don’t film myself. Perhaps I should have a go. Probably good fun, but I appreciate the skill it takes. Your video quality is already awesome. Keep it lightweight and simple as is then, I’d say, keeping it authentic with healthy balance of focus on the actual adventure, which you do wonderfully.
