Hurting in the Hills I A Gravel Adventure

- For the last few years, we’ve completely embraced the bike amble.
Going slow, wandering on two wheels, prioritising nature stops and snack breaks over speed or mileage. And it’s been lovely, but, we’ve ended up a tad out of shape.
With a world ride quickly approaching, where bike ambling might not always be possible, we thought it would be a good idea to see if we still had a pair of legs on us. And as a spur-of-the-moment decision, we decided to go on a hard ride. Just probably a bit too hard...
We hope you enjoy folks!

The Ride
This route was taken from the book Gravel Rides Lake District by Andrew Barlow (thanks for sending it!). The route was no. 14 Skiddaw House & Old Coach Road (plus a bit more) if you want to check it out.

Watching this video, I think we've realised how much we appreciate snacking on rides... 😅 thanks for watching!
👍 awesome ride. Gorgeous filming. Once you are on your way around the 🌎. Take time to smell the roses.🥰
Enjoy your journey
Cheers 🌞🚴♀️🖖🇬🇧
Thank you! Ah we plan to, although it's good to know we can put the pedal to the metal when needed, we definitely prefer to take it slow and smell the roses. Thank you 😁
Great video! Way to persevere! We never know what we can do until we try it and push ourselves just a little bit further!
Thank you! Yes I think it's good to test ourselves every now and again. As we say, we used to ride hard but haven't for some time, so good to know we can still push ourselves if and when we need to
Well done, that looked epic!
Another brilliant and inspirational video. Thankyou.
Thank you so much!
What perseverance you both have! Your an inspiration to many!
Thanks 🙂
Very enjoyable video shot in your own superb style. A tough day on the bikes but thanks for taking us along. Very best wishes to you both.
Thank you 😁
Love it all. Amazing beautiful people xxxxx
Love the snaking 😂
Haa, snacks arw necessary fuel 😅 do we ride to eat or eat to ride? 🚲
great video as ALWAYS
I bloody loves bikes, too, and your adventures. Thanks!
What a day's adventure! It's nice to know that you can vary a day's pace to suit any necessary time requirements. Can't wait to see the videos you share with us once you're circumnavigating!
Thank you! It was a toughie but felt good to know we still got it 😉🚲
Thanks for the video. I love how authentic you are about your abilities and fears etc. makes such a change from the people who edit the version of themselves that makes it online. 😊
Haa, thanks 😅Yes no hiding the struggles here! Then there wouldn't be much of a video... But we do like to include all the gruelling and epic bits to give a real insight. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Well done guys, that was amazing. 👍
big smile "traditional snack" Gregs, got to love it
Would be rude not to😏
Wow you really are soulmates eating all the cookies in the lake district.Lovely ride😊
Haa thanks! The sausage roll, cookie combo with not much water before that climb was definitely a mistake on reflection. Glad you enjoyed it :D
Thank You ❤
Stubborn bloody mindedness might get some round, but for you guys it's togetherness and pure stamina..... AND stubborn bloody mindedness! 😄
😅Haa didn't feel like there was much stamina at points but thanks! I did think we would bail before that last hill but so glad our stubbornness over powered the jelly legs! Thanks 😊
Great effort guys. Really good attitude towards both cycling and exploring. Keep up the good work 👍
Thanks so much :) we do prefer to go slow and take things in a little more. But glad to know our thighs are up for the challenge if needed! Thank you
Congratulations on finding your legs again…awesome gravel ride.🎉
Thanks 😅 good to know we still have them!
Thanks for sharing guys what a great adventure that was for you both , a fair few hrs in the saddle but the views made up for it im sure , looked pretty awesome, thanks again and keep the vlogs coming ta 👍Bri Yorkshire
Yeah, almost 11 hours but as you say the views were incredible 🏞 and we were treated to pretty conditions too! Thanks you, glad you enjoyed it 😁
Wow! Well done 🏅
Thanks, wasn't sure if we'd make it round at a few points
😅
Great video and ride. Took me back to the 1990’s when we rode those tracks often. The Old Coach Road, up the side of Latrigg from Keswick (tough), Threlkeld to Mungrisedale etc all fantastic. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to the around the world trip.
Yes going up the side of Latrigg in the heat was tough and sweaty, a great descent though! Have these routes changed much since then? Thanks so much :D
@@joshandsarahride Don’t think the Coach Road has changed that much - maybe a few more ruts. Cycle track into Keswick very different now with tarmac surface and a new tunnel. Route up side of Latrigg has had work done on it due to erosion. Main changes are on route to Skiddaw House and then down to Mosedale. It had work done in late 1990’s to improve the surface and drainage in places - although the last time I rode it (maybe 10 years ago) it still wasn’t great. Many wheels and boots will have past that way over the years. Living and riding now in the highlands but do miss the Lakes at times. Your recent videos there have been wonderful. Thanks 🙏
Great effort you guys! Another great video!
Thank you :)
RA! Well done! 😁
Thank you so much😅
Must say I’m one for preferring longer rides, I really struggle to go on shorter rides or familiar roads.
I’m not one for eating or drinking much once riding it goes against all the advice. One bowl of super porridge keeps me going way into the day.
Wow must be some pretty super porridge! I definitely need a few snacks, but not as much as j. He needs a whole lots of fuel😅
It is a mega recipe with pumpkin seeds, raisins, ground almond, flax seed oil, honey and banana plus soya milk delicious rocket fuel.
The climbs are just like Maine. We climb 1500ft every 10 miles. Only electric in Maine offroad. I'm old.
Some good climbs ⛰️we ate yet to try electric bikes but would like to one day
Another great video will your cottage be up for rent or sale?
It is not for sale as we are renting but not too sure what the plans arw for it at the moment 🏡
Good work! Nice video! how is the plan for the world tour? I'm having a 40 day adventure this summer in Sweden with my channel. Tell me if you are going to Sweden some time.
Ah amazing, looks like an incredible place to explore 🚲 unfortunately I don't think we'll go that far north but if we do will definitely let you know. When will you be in Sweden?
Intrepid or what??? x
😅thanks!
Go have a good breakfast
Don't forget second breakfast too ;)
