Rode that route about 10 years ago ..I was thinking about doing it again recently but after watching you do it , it jogged my memory and I think i'll give it a miss !!! LOL loving your vids I've done a lot of the same routes but its good to see a different perspective and sections I haven't done .. Cheers Andy
Andy Phillip I’m going to do it again I think. Or plan something similar in that area. Since this video I’ve got into a little hike a bike and pushing up big hills. And thanks for the kind works 😁
I rode that area back in the 90’s, it has not changed. I did it on those crappy steel rigged hard tails, this video show it’s no easier on a modern bike. Thanks for the reminder fun day.
Great video I live in Longridge and went to see all these views but was in a car haha :p amazing place but damn looks tough to cycle props to you some very dangerous looking parts with sheer cliff drops, jagged rocks and difficult grass not to mention the steepness
I've had those last three climb/descents on the radar since I lived in Lancaster over 25 years ago as part of a loop using the Roman Road and shooting track over Tarnbrook Fell to the north. Made for good viewing but I don't think I'll be doing it now. Thanks for making my "rides to do" list a tiny bit smaller, there are far too many other rides nearby worthy of the drive from N Wales.. ;)
Trail Doug 😂😂. I won’t ever be doing this again either. Descents were great. But absolute killer climbs. I don’t mind abit of hike a bike. But this was terrible 😩
@@TrailFinder The only bit that's not really rideable is the climb from the gate up to Ouster Rake, the rest is doable but hard going. The rake itself is pretty much all rideable for a good (and confident!) descender, the left hand side is very off putting though. The price of an off is quite high! Definitely an area to be ridden in the drier months although we did it at the weekend after all of last weeks rain with the odd squelchy bit. Great video! :)
Just done some of your route (thanks for the idea, never been in the area before). Video will be ready in a day or two (feel free to subscribe), Dunsop Fell was a pain. Hornby Road on the wishlist.
Stevie Dee I need to do this ride again. The descent you’ve mentioned, and others were amazing on this ride. But with it been a new ride to me, the descents were spoiled by having to look down and check the sat nav all the time. Next time will be amazing 👊
You’re not really selling it as a ride but I always say that you don’t know if you don’t go. Thankfully you did so I don’t have to! Enjoyed watching though 👍
Fantastic video. I live only a few miles from this loop and I have the same opinion, great decents.... Shame about the climbs. Mite be better suited to the e-bike crowd..... Keep up the good work TF, I'm trying your Grisdale loop this weekend :)
James Lamb thanks mate. Looking back I actually really enjoyed this ride. I hated it at the time and did contemplate getting an ebike 😂. Enjoy the grizedale loop. It’s great
Earned your double Whopper that day mate 👍. This route is very close to home but I have always been put off by descriptions of long boggy slogs. Not sure you have made it any more tempting 😂
Lakedistrictrider it was delicious Ian. And I had exactly what I said I was going to get. I’d come do this ride with you. But you will have to wait till I get an ebike 😂😂
ha ha ha just watched this video , i live in the area and do some of this ride regularly, there is a route/loop out of Chipping which is good for a night ride also when you get up on to Ouster there are three descents, the one you did is locally known as the Dunsop Death Ride ........!!
Just found your channel and subscribe loving your videos so far great quality good sense of humour I’ve just spoke to the Gib 74 and we definitely must have a ride out with you at some point keep up the good work let me know if it’s something you’re interested in .
I walked along this route the other day and thought it would make a good trail for mtb. I could see tyre marks so thought I would google trails in the area and this video came up! Very impressive riding. I’m only a novice myself, would you say this is suitable for a hard tail?
LOL, just what you need to be doing, riding a rut on the side of a cliff whilst clipped in. I'll have a go at one of your less death-defying trails I think. Good vid though and I'm glad I found your channel.
I really enjoyed this video!! Forest of Bowland is my favourite places for road biking...venturing in to mountain biking I’m wondering how you found this route? Any particular website?
I got the idea for this ride out of a book called the good mountain biking guide. Looks a good area to investigate further. There is the link in the description to my Strava page. I can also add the trailforks link in if you don’t have Strava premium. You can then just add this ride to your device and go do it

I have to try this, this year. I really like the less tracked nature of Yorkshire Dales.

Defo a dry summers day ride. It was brutal on this day. But enjoyed it. Maybe not at the time on some parts 😂
Just the sort of ride we like! Off to do it this Sunday.........

Just down the road from me this one, so looking forward to trying this one out, thanks for the upload
Another great video. Thanks. 👍
Thanks 😁
Your bike handling skills are exemplary!
Cheers Wayne 😁

Great vid mate. I live local to the Forrest of Bowland so good to see local routes being smashed.
Like and sub.
Anthony Barnes thanks mate. I appreciate it. Glad you enjoyed it. I like the look of the area. Will have to investigate more rides
Great video, I'm the same when cutting through a farm, feels like you are garden hopping. I always have the urge to apologise if I pass any farmer's.
Ha ha. I feel the same. It’s the farms working dogs that worry me. Been attacked twice while passing through so far
The descent down to the farm from 3.25 us an absolute belter....done it 3 times this year.
Stevie Dee I need to do this ride again. The descent you’ve mentioned, and others were amazing on this ride. But with it been a new ride to me, the descents were spoiled by having to look down and check the sat nav all the time. Next time will be amazing 👊
I was going to do this tomorrow but I’m not going to bother now after watching that!
Great vids and keep up the hard work.
😂 summer only. If you change your mind to do it.
@@TrailFinder might have a crack at it when it’s drier then as looks a belter but not when it’s wet!
Cracking channel you got going.
@@ashy7753 thanks mate 😁
Great quality videos mate keep up the good work really insightful
Robbie Kirk thanks mate. I’m very pleased your enjoying watching
You’re not really selling it as a ride but I always say that you don’t know if you don’t go. Thankfully you did so I don’t have to!
Enjoyed watching though 👍
Jason Thomas thanks Jason. It was actually an ok ride thinking back to it. If you don’t mind abit of pushing it’s worth trying (in the summer) 😁

Thanks for the tips. I will take a look. It looks a great area . This ride was my 1st ever visit

RHP Mountain & Trail what a great message. Thanks very much. So pleased your enjoying the videos.
Always up for a ride with like minded people. We will have to arrange something 🤙
You sir are a masochist, love it!
GAVIN LEIGHTON 😂😂 thanks gavin. Love that word. Actually just googled it as I’ve never heard that before. Made me laugh when I read it’s meaning 👊
Another fantastic ride making me want to get back on the trails :/
White Rose Adventures get your self back out there mate 👊
Looks a super loop Mate. Did look a little tough in places though.
Nearly 4000ft of climbing in 16 miles!! Was a killer 😩
All part of making it an epic ride 👍

Hi. Thanks. Yes this ride is suitable for a hard tail. The terrain in pretty mellow.
👌👌📸

Another cracking vid, keep up the good work! You and McTrail Rider do the best vids on YT for UK MTB.
