Nine weeks off the bike at the moment so far, through a combination of concussion and life throwing spanners. I definitely need me some mindfulness... Merry Christmas J, L & H...
thank you berry much Phil, its was an incredible day in the lakes, everything just came together for the edit! look forward to riding wharny with you soon
I thoroughly enjoyed this one. It was in fact such an amazingly well timed one for me for 2 reasons. Firstly, I've been looking at doing this route and knowing what it's like as part of your winter series is superb. Secondly, your commentary on switching around the way you verbalise things was also very on point for me in a very personal way right now. Thanks for the 'pep talk'. I needed that wee kick today. 👍👍🙂
Ah man, thank you very much, it was an incredible ride, made better by slowing down a bit to do the drone filming allowing us some time to appreciate just how beautiful it was! Enjoy it when you eventually get to ride it! I’m really happy that the message struck a chord. I’ve used it so much lately when I’ve found myself in a funk about winter, chores, family and work commitments and so on. It’s very powerful tool that’s very easy to remember and apply. I hope it works for you how it has for Me. Hope to meet you soon 🙌
Nice to meet you both. The route was a first for me and I have just relived some of those sections watching your video back. Stunning scenery but it was difficult to take your eyes off the track ahead. The descent down from Castle Crag was interesting. Great video with the drone footage.
Hey Tim! It was great to meet you too! Small world meeting a fellow Wigner. Agreed, incredible views but so much going on under wheel that it’s hard to appreciate, that’s why we love making these edits so much, we’ve a catalogue of our rides forever. Thanks very much for the kind words. Hope you found some good photography spots 👍
Good tip. I would like to go to bed but I am braising red cabbage and brining Turkey. It definitely feels different if I think that I get to prep for a family Christmas dinner
Hey Mark! Thanks for message! Feeling blessed when we are blessed is a tremendous gift and often lost in the hustle of life! Merry Christmas to you and your family buddy! May your turkey and cabbage taste amazing!
It’s an absolute pleasure! Thank you for all your support for what we’re doing! It’s very much appreciated! Merry Christmas and all the best for next year, hope to meet you out there sometime!
Fantastic edit of a great ride! Well done on getting down the tricky crux bouldery bit first time, so humble at the end too LOL. I have a story to tell (in person) about the first time I did that route. I let out a WHAT! when you named Lyndsey's new bike 😂 Sound reasoning. Welcome to Team Spesh @mrsmindfulMTB 😃 Hope you continue to enjoy!
Thank you Annes!! we always love your feedback and positivity - Thank you Yeah, I think I fluked the Crux bit TBH. my comment at the end was because I felt like I was progressively braking mover on the continuous rocky slabs were I should have been letting go a bit more so didnt feel super confirdent on them. Lindsey is loving the Spesh and so am I,. great bikes!!
Excellent edit, this has been on my list of " to do " for a while. Finally out on a group ride round The Bash this Friday. This video has only added to the excitement. Hopefully the weather will play ball and I get some decent footage..
Thank you for the appreciation and for taking the time to comment! You’re gonna have an amazing time on Friday, info hope the weather plays ball though it should ride well anyway. Have a great time, let us know how you get on! 👍
Thank you 🙏 I don’t use strava buddy, also f’d up the route recording as I was following a route myself from Trailforks. It’s very popular route and there’s loads of routes for it out there. Borrowdale bash! Inc walla crag 👍
Thank you mrs mindful, I knew I’d wear you down eventually. They’re awesome in many ways but did good to push on the regular bike an also, I like riding both and I’m sure you will too! ❤️
Cheers dude! Yeah, I think it was just a bit of luck really. I got what I thought was the wrong line initially but it seemed to set up well for the rest to flow so yeah. I’ll take it! Looking forward to ur ride out soon mate
Thanks Stephen 🙏 yeah finally talked her into it. She has taken to it really well, it’s a size up from the 5010 and it’s defo giving her some plough confidence for sure! Just what you need for this lakes tech, the real test will come when we get to golfie 🤞

You are nailing the edits now!! Great use of the drone to capture the majesty of the lakes.
Thank you very much! It felt like it really came together and the lakes really put on a show for us! Thanks again! 🙏

I ❤ this one so much and what a day this was….
E-bikes are awesome, why have I fought it so long 😂❤
Great edit as always 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you mrs mindful, I knew I’d wear you down eventually. They’re awesome in many ways but did good to push on the regular bike an also, I like riding both and I’m sure you will too! ❤️
Class video....glad you both enjoyed that route! You nailed that section at 9.20 in....I chose the wrong line on 2 rides....only my 3rd I got it 🤣
I was saying before he rode that bit awesome 🙌 🙌
I chose the wrong line too… 😅😂
@MrsMindfulMTB very easily done choosing the wrong line as some lines lead you into very awkward ones....but credit where credits due 👏
Cheers dude! Yeah, I think it was just a bit of luck really. I got what I thought was the wrong line initially but it seemed to set up well for the rest to flow so yeah. I’ll take it! Looking forward to ur ride out soon mate
Beautiful, me vans broke, can only ride local till newyear..thanks for that trail, I'll get to that one
It really is beautiful, it put quite the show on fire us that day! Enjoy when you get round to it! 🙌
Another fantastic video cheers and Lindsey a ebiker now 👍
