- Today it was hot ! as we set off on another cycling adventure from our home town in the Pennines to the historical city of Chester which lies on the English and Welsh border.
If you are a keen cycling enthusiast and enjoy watching cycling vlogs then this might be just the place for you.
My aim is to create inspirational cycling content that is all about telling the story of how the ride went and to keep you the viewer informed of the events as they unfold. With Maps, data, a narration and so much more, I hope you enjoy this video.
I'm a cyclist and I live in the Pennines.

Hey Daz, it's me, I've set myself up to comment on your channel.
Oh no ! 🤣
🤣👍
Brilliant video again Daz, glad alls well though after the horrendous heat conditions, looking forward to the next video
Thanks Paul, I can't describe how hot it was on this day. Looking out of the window right now though, it's tipping down.
Good effort Daz, I remember that Saturday, we went to Lymm, I was all in at 68 miles, stopped at 55 miles at a shop, really didn't want to get back on the bike after that, made it home in the end...cycling can really push you to the limit, I suppose that's why we love it 👍👍 Another cracking video too 👏
It has been a pretty warm summer all in all and we have managed to get some decent rides in pal but when that sun is out and the temperature is 30+°c it makes your cycling that little bit more demanding. You need to refill two bottles up after 20 miles !
Maybe we will cross paths out there one day ...
Great stuff as always and respect that you kept going like you did, Top man.
Thanks Chris, I prefer a nice cool 19°c to 22°c kind of ride
Brilliant as ever. I tend to go out at the crack of dawn when the weather is like that. There’s a lot less traffic at 4am!
4am !
I would struggle with that time but I have done it on some big days out 160+ miles
Another inspirational film Daz. That was a scorcher. Mike mentioned Tenerife; I’m there now by coincidence. And we had thunder and rain today in Puerto De la Cruz. Hiking here no cycling for me unfortunately.
This was a very hot one Sophie and I now know my limits, I'm better in the cold than the heat.
Have a wonderful time in Teneriffe and take in them spectacular views.
on a evening got into a bottle of Guinness And one of your videos, happy days, right enjoy them
Thank you Matt. I hope the Guinness went down a treat 🙂🥃
I have a Fleetwood ride to edit from summer but I'm heavily involved in the gold prospecting at the moment and they can take a while to put together. Think I need to retire . I just can't fit everything in with the time I have available....
Top video Daz, and top efforts from you both in that heat. You are very fit and it just shows how the weather can floor anyone, I guess we are are just not used to those temperatures and your video is a great way to show people how to be careful out there as a similar thing happened to me around July time.
Anyway good to hear you recovered quickly, the route you did was a lot of the areas I like to cycle, Frodsham, Mobberley etc.
Would recommend Cleopatra's cafe in a place called Holt just over the border in Wales the next time you would like to put ur foot in Wales and the other in England 🇬🇧, best wishes 🚴♂️🚴♂️👍
The hot temperatures can be just as unbearable as the freezing cold December months Terry and thank you for the heads up about the cafe in Holt over the border I will look it up.
I don't know if you have noticed the sudden onset of Autumn this week.The leaves are falling off the trees and I have had to put the Gillet on !
Great vid Daz 👍🏻 grafters
Cheers Gary. Hope you are well buddy
Nice one guys, glad to see you made it back safe, an epic ride by you both. Not done much for a while, been looking after the wife, who has been bed ridden after a serious fall whilst having a seizure, so I have spent 3 weeks keeping her company. In the heat wave I admire anyone who can cope with the heat, it’s great to know you limits and plan for it, take care both.
I hope your other half is in the mend Alan and I hope you are coping well too.
There's a lot of love and care that goes hand in hand with your role and bless you for it.
Take care my friend
Thanks for the kind words mate.
Been so far behind last few weeks hope all is well and family are all keeping safe u keep up the good work you legend 👍
Hello Diggersden, all is well and I hope you are too. Keep on enjoying the great outdoors buddy.
Brilliant ride Mr Daz and some serious pace! 🎉
Hi Levi, I prefer it to be slightly cooler but yes On the outward leg we had some good pace. It's nice to ride on the flat lands for a change.
Mr Daz you pushed through your limits on this one . Congratulations 🎉
By the time I got back to Manchester I was feeling dreadful. Mike's never seen me slumped over the bars 😁
Another Great Vid Daz. Pushing yourself to the limit! good to see some roads I recognised as well. It looks like you cycled right by my house as well. I remember that day being hot, I went over Warrington way and only did a third of the distance you did. Keep it up.
Are you Wilmslow James, that's a nice little ride out in Autumn for us.
I think the conditions today were too much in the end for the mileage we covered.
Enjoy all your videos Dazz but that was a cracker😊
Hi Chris and thanks for your comments. I have used this route many times before to cycle out to Aberdaron but I have never experienced heat like this though. Even sitting on Mike's wheel became uncomfortable because I wasn't getting enough air on me to cool down.
One hell of a ride daz in that heat 💪🥵
Thanks Jay, it's hard to explain or describe how hot it felt buddy
Great video daz you literally came right near me. At the top of the hill before the swing Bridge in frodsham take a right and im up there 😁🤙🚴🏻♂️
That's not a bad location Jay, You can be into North Wales and beyond in no time from there or venture out west into the Wirral.
Great video again Daz. I did only a smidge of those miles during the heatwave we had here in the UK and even 20 miles at 8pm was too much (29°C) never mind during the middle of the day like you two did. It takes its toll that's for sure. It brings me back to your Hardest 100 you did last summer when that was hot - can't believe you completed it tbh with all the hills and the heat.
The week we did this ride it was hot every day for over a week or so 30+ . Even sitting in the garden was hard work .
I remember the Lakes ride and that was another hot one but this particular day was just insanely hot Cwil.
I really do take my hat off to you daz. I bet at the end it was quite scary, just remember matey your health is wealth 👊💪. Mike at the end penna in the asse 🤣🤣🤣🤣.
Thought I was a gonner Jay.
Mike never stops with the jokes and one liners, some of them I have to delete out 😁
That looked horrendous. Well done for keeping going though that took guts.
Hello Stephen, I loved it up to about 65 miles and then the heat started to overwhelm me. Mike did really well to be fair but even he said it was getting bad.
The main thing is that we made it back.
Cracking ride that, keep drinking the electrolytes will try that cafe them sarnies looked ace will be driving to it though 😂
The sarny was pretty good Jimbo and yes I was taking the fizzy tablets which is I was surprised when I went off
Well done guys 👍🚵
Thanks Robert 👍
Well Daz n Mike what a ride that was,I had a sweat on watching this. Glad you managed to get back to base in one piece. After all that suffering in that heat you still did a entertaining, and sometimes funny video. All the best to both of you, keep them coming, I know you put a lot of effort to put these on utube. All the very best to you both. Ps you make a top double act. Bill.
Thanks Bill, I wasn't sure what footage I had for this one so it was a case of looking at what we had and making some sense if it all.
It was a cracking ride and a bit different to the hilly Pennine rides.
Frodsham loop is a good one up frodsham hill. Then a stop at Delemere station cafe 😋
Nice one Jay, thanks for the info, it is a place I will revisit for a cafe ride for sure
Man, that looked a tough ride! Glad you both made it home ok 👍
It was really warm from first light Paul. I don't think we are made for this kind of weather in the UK.
The outward leg was nice and quick though but the moment we stopped, boy oh boy , you could feel the heat rising .
Hope you are well buddy and still getting out .
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures keeping ok, thanks and still getting out albeit not as often as I would like 😉👍
👍
Glad you're ok, Daz. Heat-related illness can be brutal.
Looking back , as a kid I have had sunstroke on PGL holidays ( adventure camps ) and I know when it's too hot that I'm not at my best, but on this ride it was a case of feeling great one minute and then dreadful the next.
Brilliant video, glad you are ok 👍
Thanks buddy, it was a proper adventure . Every ride is always a good one but you can't beat the Lake District
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures yes mate looking forward to the one you did the other day when you get it up 👍
I've not filmed any recent rides because I can't keep up them all and I have got the gold panning fraternity requesting a few videos.
I have one more cycling video to edit which is the ride to Fleetwood.
I will be focussing on panning for the next few weeks or so.
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures will look out for the fleetwood one, yes mate editing takes so much time, spends hours doing mine sometimes
Great video Daz, 120 miles in that heat no wonder you were shot at the end!. It's tough in those conditions and you really have to pace yourself. It does feel like an adventure though when you get out of your comfort zone and push yourself to the limits
It sure is an adventure Mark. Wilmslow is about an hour and a half away on a good day and on this day it felt like mission impossible. I'm just glad that I recovered quickly and I have definitely learned about where my limits are after this one.
It's getting fresher in the mornings now so the arm warmers are coming out and the thicker socks. Enjoy your cycling this autumn buddy.
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures cheers mate, had a tough ride at the weekend but it was nice to get out in slightly cooler weather. Did a few rides in France in July, early set off to try and avoid the heat
@@revieboy where did you get to Mark?
Tell you what
The mornings are fresher now and you have to factor in start and finish times if you don't have lights.
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures yeah it was back to arm warmers on Saturday morning on our ride to Cannon Hall Farms cafe. We went to the Pyrenees and did some good rides, Luz Ardiden and Col du Tourmalet the highlights. Also did a lovely loop in the Auvergne region and did another big Tour De France climb - Puy Mary - some beautiful lanes there.
Great stuff, that sounds amazing cycling in France
Daz that was one hard ride. Iv never seen you riding on empty before although the temp was very hot that day. Sometimes your brain tells you your ok and fine but the body tells you other wise. One of you ride early in the year you said you had just recoverd from illness. Have you been to the docs for a simple MOT just to check out your ok. Anyway great ride and that scram you and mike had in Chester looked really good great video take care and stay safe 🚲🚲👍
Hi Stephen, I had Covid 5 weeks before this ride and I can't rule that out being a factor but I didn't want to harp on about it, if you know what I mean.
I also had 8 weeks off in early spring / summer after a groin strain which put me back a bit fitness wise and
I am probably well overdue an over 50's MOT test but I just keep plodding on.
🙂
By eck Daz, that looked a tough un. I recognised quite a few places there. You mentioned about a cafe in Frodsham. There's one called cafe fresh it's a good un. Gets a few cyclists in aswell. Maybe one for you and Mike if you do another trip that way.
There's some lovely places around Frodsham Di and it's a place to definitely revisit .
I liked Tarplorey too.
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures Tarporleys a nice village, used to quite often go there for a few pints on a Saturday 😁
I had a few pints too.
Of water.....😂
That’s one hell of a ride Daz! Me and my family have been out on some scorching hot days before but only for a quarter of the distance you did and we were all suffering then. Can’t imagine how hard it must have been for you. 🥵
I love it when it's about 22°c Sam. It must have been another 10° or 12° if not more !
The main thing is that we lived to tell the tail .
not good that running on empty Daz good you made it ... remenber the days first started going out no food water or money and if it got hot u took your shirt off 😀
It got to the point where I couldn't take anymore fluids in because I felt so sick and there's no way my top would have been coming of lol
Hey Daz, thank you for a brilliant and inspiring video.
That was some impressive pace on the outward leg to Chester💪😎
Serious respect to you and Mike. Glad you made it back alive to edit the vid! 😂🤣
Best wishes to you.
Hi Nick, on some sections going out we were flying and it's a great feeling I can tell you that.
I collapsed literally half a mile from home 😰. I could not turn another pedal stroke. I was helped by a couple from an adjacent property who spotted me on a grass verge.
Even people in cars passing by stopped to help. It wasn't pretty, a bit like the Brownlee brothers in the triathlon when one of them couldn't walk across the line without support.
I asked them for a glass of water with lots of salt in it and a drop of sugar.
They helped me get home and within half an hour was back to normal. ( a cold shower helped with this process too )
It was a scary moment for sure.
Hi Daz and thanks for your reply.
It sounds really scary what happened and I’m glad you recovered quickly.
I was wondering if you have ever used a heart rate monitor? The reason I ask is from personal experience, I was not good at pacing myself and pushing too hard at the start of endurance events. Unfortunately, I still think I am half my age when exercising, keeping my heart rate well below 150/min most of the time is useful to know and help me pace myself properly. I also avoid bursts / surges in pace at the beginning of endurance events as this quickly depletes muscle glycogen The heart rate is a good measure of how much metabolic stress you are under during exercise. With muscle fatigue, dehydration and at the hottest time of the afternoon, a large chunk of your cardiac output being diverted to your muscles and an increasing proportion to your skin to keep cool. Your heart rate would likely have been higher than normal when you felt unwell.
I was wondering if a heart rate monitor would be useful for you? It might give you an early warning, to slow down, take a break, rehydrate, replenish lost electrolytes and carbs?
Best wishes.
@@nickhadden2094 I do not use a HRM Nick because I know my heart rate can be on high side at times. It can be triggered sometimes by certain fizzy drinks and I know that I have frequent eptopic moments which I can actually feel.
The worst moments I find are when I stop off at a shop for example and my heart rate plummets to a heavy slow beat which I am very much aware of.
I totally agree with what you are saying though but I tend to try to put this to the back of my mind.
I used SIS electrolyte tablets on this ride too.
My blue cycling top was caked in white salt from my perspiration .
Hi Daz,
It’s all very worrying when our bodies do stupid stuff like this! Collapsing like that is a big learning experience for anyone. I totally agree with you, put it to the back of your mind, but be aware. That ride was a major ask and a massive undertaking in that heat.
I had a similar episode last year. Very unpleasant! It also made me aware of my limitations now I’m in my 50s.
I always look forward to watching your videos, Mike seems to be developing his own vlog persona… perhaps he should have his own channel?
Wishing you well and stay safe!
Thanks Nick.
I keep telling Mike to start his own channel.
He could get away with more adult humour and innuendo too. I have to keep things appropriate just in case any one who I work with came across it by chance because of my job.
Great video again Darren and those long hot summer days seem so long ago.
Were you not adding electrolytes to all the water you were consuming?
Stay safe on the roads.
Yes Steve, I had tablets in both bottles from the start and carried spare ones for the refills.
I wore the buff hat under my helmet to Keep the sun off my head too.
The only other factor I haven't ruled out but never mentioned in the video is that this ride was only 5 weeks after I had Covid.
That got scary pal it was worrying at times , yeah on the hotter days I didn’t go out it was just too much . It look so hot on screen you could almost feel the heat 🥵. I remember doing wrynose and hardknott both ways with it was 28oC I don’t know what I was thinking looking back . We think we’re immortal at times but was all just not .
I guess I could say that it looked like a good idea at the time when in fact it was a bit fool hardy. The final soaking at Wilmslow did help but by the time I reached Manchester that was it. The buildings themselves were radiating heat.
I think that maybe next time a 60 - 80 mile loop would be a wiser option .
If you don't mind me asking, why do you wear a head scarf even in hot weather, I'm curious🤓
Good question Haydn, I wanted to keep the sun off my head and my ears and it also helps to me cooler after I have poured water over it.
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures Do you find it reduces wind noise, I'm always annoyed by it, must have sensitive hearing.
It does a bit , I think the straps on your helmet can create wind noise too.
I'm from manchester, and that day I was like you just sat in my living room. Far too hot for me, you're 10 men
Hello Mr Jepo, it was relentless heat all day , I guess we are not used to it in the North West of England as are cousins in Europe are . I now know where my limits are ....
U come right through salford u could a called in
Yes, we passed by the Salford Royal buddy.
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures im just up the rd from hope hospital in swinton..good to see u about here
@@CrownJewelzMusicGroup no worries CJ
Enjoy your cycling pal
ᑭᖇOᗰOᔕᗰ
Thanks Jake
Sorry, this doesn’t prove anything. You rolled the dice and got lucky, this time.
I now know where my limits are especially in extreme conditions. I have a very positive mindset and every experience makes me a stronger person.
