This is basically my backyard. And that "Pike Cafe" you stropped at used to be my Uncle's place when I grew up. Going up there in the middle of winter was an experience as a kid. I love the place I knew every single bit of your video and locations 😂 Great guide btw 👍
Great video..... my local area but as a beginner ish rider when i have seen people using these trials i've been unsure whether to try them. Videos like this that give you a preview and show you some lines give you an idea what you can try and take on next time your out. Thanks for posting!
@@MindfulTrailBiker yeah, water and wet roots don't help but it's better laugh when someone falls 😂 The trails of the pigeon tower every year look different. In winter time it gets very muddy and people go around it so when it dries the trails change. You'll see chicken lines and bypasses but after some time it gets back to normal
RIdden all of these it's my local area living at the bottom of the hill near the Beehive roundabout. Great video have subscribed and look forward to watching your other ones. If you've done anything up Whinlatter be good I've not long got a VW Transporter and I'm heading their soonish and staying over. Go out on my own so I've picked up routes off others from videos like yours and few chats had up at the Pike cafe over the last few years. I do struggle route wise a bit over Great Hill when I come off the obvious flagged bit to find routes that I can deal with, last time ended up in the middle of nowhere losing a trail. Any over that way I'll be watching keenly.
Hi there! Thank you for the kind comments. We appreciate it. Check out the grisedale pike video, that is a route that uses the trail Centre red trail but adds a natural loop taking in grisedale pike (nowhere near grizedale forest btw). That’s a good route but the trail centre red is one of the best in the Uk. Easy enough to get lost and find unrideavle trials on great hill, especially in winter.
Great video we ride a lot up here there are a few gems that didn’t feature although you had a pretty good selection, if you visit again, there is a great run down the river edge a bit further past special k which then comes in near bottom of special k, you obviously know ice cream run most fun at night in the rain, there’s a few good runs in Wilderswood, and the sheep huts run is okay despite gates having been put in. Keep up good work.
Thank you very much!! We definitely had a few arguments about which tracks to include in this edit and we will probably record a part 2 edit to feature the ones we missed. Love the track next to special K with the boardwalk and nice drop at the end, I got overruled by the missus as she like the OG special K best. Wilderswood traditional with the roots is again a great track. There is also more around the pigeon tower, all these will feature on. the part 2 edit. Thanks for watching and for getting involved bye commenting!
Go pro effect is real, it’s got us in bother a few times. I’m up in Aberdeenshire this week and went to ride a fairly casual looking descent that was a massive NO from me. Edit on that coming soon. Thank you for the compliment sir, much appreciated and for watching and commenting! 👍
Great video. I've just ordered a used mountain bike. I don't live far from there but my fitness levels are not the best. I'd really like to get into mountain biking. I need a new hobby. A healthy one 😊
Nice videos, only just come across your channel as an local to Rivi and done abit of trail work up there, shame about it all being felled at some stage😢
It’s such a shame, The tracks on that side are great, I think the track with the boardwalk drop will feature in the best of Rivvy part 2. Thanks for watching and off course for your work on the trails.
Morning Pete. Thank you very much!! We are delighted that the contents being well received. Im slowly getting to drips with it. looks some volume reducers out of the shock last night and went for a spin to Haigh hall and I think it could have made improvements im looking for. I think any issue is suspension related. I would argue for most of the rides ive done so far, the Bronson was the better bike though im sure once the nomad is dialled in I will start riding it a bit harder. It doesn’t feel like it soaks up the chop as well as it should so its defo suspension set up related. It’s already a progressive suspension curve and the shock came with some huge volume spacers in as standard. a work in progress but im starting to enjoy the process more now.
With the pigeon tower on your left, take the right fork and follow the main road for about 1/2 mile. When the younger the woods on the left it’s there. 👍

Pleasure Gary! That’s what it’s all about. Thanks for the watch like and comment sir! 👍
Thanks Matt, that’s very kind! Thanks for watching and for the appreciation!! 🙏
Cracking vid! Local here 👋🏻 Great to see!
Thanks Chris! We appreciate you! 👍
Great video and riding keep it up 👍🏻
Realised I've ridden Golfie more times than rivi my local in last 12mths 🤣 reminds me I should go soon....👍
As long as you realise how lucky you’ve been to be riding golfie that much, then it’s no sin! Rivvy is riding super well at the moment though👍
It's very much my local. Love them trails 👌🏻
It’s a great spot isn’t it! Shame most of the tech tracks start getting un-rideable at this time of year.

Some classic GoPro effect going on here. I know these routes well and some are way sketchier than they appear. You ride them well tho 👍

Hey there, Thank you very much for watching and appreciating the edit! Where do you live? We're in the wigan area.
I live in Bolton.
@@owenrobert1333 give us a shout when you get your bike, see if we can plot an beginner route for you! 👍

Great video as always mate! Always climb into bed after nights and have a watch. How you getting on with the new bike now?
