Hi mate I’m new to mountain biking and new to this channel… love the content 👍🏻🚴🏻
Thanks Craig. Welcome to the channel and the fantastic sport of mountain biking. Have fun
Hey Andy love the video it’s so good when you recognise bits you’ve rode before. I did the bit just by the grass climb the other way with my dad and Alfie in November.
Feels strange seeing myself on your video 😂, cracking video as always 👍🏻
😂😂. Thanks mate. Was nice meeting you
He’s hasn’t stopped talking about meeting you guys 🤣🤣
@@craigyoungs9844 😂😂
quality vid im sure ive done this years ago with my dad and really wanted to know where it was thanks bud for this its defo the same place over 25 years ago we did it
Hi , my friend and I did this last Saturday, our first proper dales ride , it was awesome. Thanks for sharing it
@18m43 " and there is the top of Ingleborough" but what I saw was the top of a beautiful stone cairn 😉 made me chuckle 🤭 but what a ride with some real elevation 💪 I'm looking forward to your next vid 👍
Excellent ride Andy, that’s my type of ride.
Nice long distance Xc. Can’t beat it
To be fair… I’d be similarly over excited if I bumped into you both on a ride too 😉
Thanks for uploading
Hopefully you do one day 😁 make sure you come straight over if you do to say hi
Great video and you had the added pleasure of meeting my riding buddy 🤣🤣 You looked and sounded very excited Matt 🤣😉
Cheers Craig. Very enjoyable ride was this one. And I must say. The most excited subscriber I’ve ever bumped into 😂. Great guy
The hand gesture explosion at the end
Yes 👍🤣
😂 John loves doing it
Great ride and great video. Heading up to the Dales next week with a mate. This video really whet my appetite for it.
Keep up the great work
All the best
Rob
👍😊
Thanks Rob 😁
I've ridden around there a lot & walked too, but not done that full loop. Might give it a go this Sunday. Thanks of the vid & idea, cheers
No problem Neil. That is what this channel is all about
Looked like some nice sections 👍
Top effort Andy, i've got a week in Kettlewell booked for July - coming up from deepest, darkest, Devon and am using your rides to plan my rideouts.
Kettlewell is a great place to be based. Have a great time.
I would love to see a little map in the corner of the screen where you can see your location moving in real time
Hi Andy - Did your Settle - Pen-Y-Ghent loop recently, absolutely loved it, can't wait to go back and do it again. FYI & others doing the loop there's a great cafe in Feizor well worth the very slight detour. Did John have much left in the battery at the end?
John loved it that much he is doing it again tomorrow. He rides in eco only. Think he had around 40% left
Definitely still trying to adjust to 29ers myself after running the 27.5+ geniuses fir so long. Fortunately, the 170mm suspension is helping compensate for difference in ride quality. Haven't given the 2.6 a try yet, but plan to sometime
They are great. It actually feels and performs like my old 710+ now. Which was a very fast bike in rough terrain.
I've got 2.5 tires on my bike & run Vittoria airline insert in the rear, meaning I can run really low pressures, which gives so much crib for climbing, especially on Yorkshire limestone. Highly recommended
Thanks for the tip. Do the inserts add
Much weight ?
@@TrailFinder I have to be honest with you, I'm on a a eMTB so weight really isn't a problem, but I really like running low pressures as I ride mainly in Lakes & Dales & as you know, it can get very wet, so I look for max grip wherever I can get it. I'm more of en enthusiastic idiot than a solid technical MTBer, & I get more confidence this way
We run rimpact inserts - cheap /light and effective - would recommend
Great ride Andy. Just out of curiosity, did John`s battery last for the full ride and what mode did he use? We are heading up to the Dales in July and cannot wait to try some of your XC rides.
Battery life on johns trek is great. He had it in eco the whole ride. And got back to the van with 40% left
Hi Andy, great video as usual, we are coming up to the Windermere for a week on the 20th of this month & I would & we are going to do Gisburn on the way up & Whinlatter & Grizedale while we are there, we would like to do a couple of quite big XC ride locally & would really appreciate which ones you think would be best, I can’t decide as all of your loops look good.
3 of my fav Xc type rides on the lakes. Are the Ambleside ride. Coniston water ride. And the borrowdale bash. All 3 outstanding.
Thanks, I will watch them again & make a decision, swaying to the Ambleside one tbh.👍
@@scottbrowning5553 it would be a very good choice
I am just curious about something....... Do you like your tyres???? Great vid and location as always
😂😂. Cheers Pete
Great video shame you went on about them bloody tires too much 😜
😂
Famous😊 Great vid as always. Are you still back riding clipless?
Yes mark. Won’t be riding flats again. I gave them a good go. Was on the flats for 6 months. And thanks. Glad you enjoyed it
Love watching ur rides great channel have u ever thought about getting an ebike
No. It would take away my enjoyment. Love the challenge and reward of climbing and clearing a climb on a bike. Not an ebike hater. Just not for me at the moment.
Hate tyres must have about 8 pairs of them, had a go on someones bike with 2.60 front and rear now im wanting to swap my enduro over again lol running 2.50 x 2.40 on it at the minute and the grip/stability is really noticable now ffs
😂😂 same. Got so many tyres.
2.6 is amazing. After this ride I’ve dropped to 15 front and 18 rear and it’s great. Grip climbing and descending is outstanding. Have actually put a magic Mary on the front since this vid (2.6) it’s brilliant.
What tires are you running size? ??
I think that's called having a rubber fetish Andy 😀 nice vid. Big day!
😂😂. Loved the descent from penny. Great fun.
hi mate what's there water bottle filter you use, please?
Sawyer micro squeeze
Lazy bikes are E bikes.
Not for me are e-bikes
