Went up the beast yesterday in the dry, fair play for going down in the wet. First time I’ve been around there did 28 miles around ladybower loved it. Another good vid keep them coming, great inspiration for me to get out and do some of your routes or similar 👏🏻👏🏻
It's great to see vids of this side of biking, not just the dry, sunny days, thanks for putting it up. Also you sound like me on those soggy winter Peak trails!
Lakedistrictrider I actually enjoyed been out in the wet and rain with the new clothes and shoes I’ve bought. Like wainwright said. There is no such thing as bad weather. Just bad equipment 😂😂 It was the mud and lack of traction I hated. Will stick to the yorkshire dales on the fabulous tracks when it’s bad from now on
That brake choosing to do its own thing would have pissed me off too Mate. Stunning scenery though. I've done a bit of walking up there but never been up there on the bike. I really need to sort that out... Great job. 👍
Yep kudos for getting out! I love the wet take ya time n plough through haha how many miles is this route 20 brilliant mate 👍 sounds like some good kit ya wearing?
taius20 it’s pretty good in the dry. But on this ride I wasn’t afraid of been a pussy and getting off and walking down 😂😂. The rocks were like ice. Tomorrow I’m uploading another classic from the Peak District “Cut Gate” it’s a must to ride it. Very techie. You will have to look out for it. Thanks for watching 👊👊
sorry mate. only just noticed this message. had no notification for it. yeah go pro footage smooths it out a little. but its very rough in real life. I've seen how fast you ride. and can imagine how fast you hit this 🤙😂👊
@@TrailFinder looks like you did reply and i didn't notice 😂 I'll have a look at your cut gate video, I've only done that once and also got it on film. Its such a sick descent
Just been out and done this one as it's not far from me, great ride, thanks for the route links.
Great vid again. The worst weather and mud..no grip. Then no brakes!!
Such a long time ago this ride, but still remember it like it was yesterday. Nightmare of a ride

Adam Carless thanks Adam. I actually enjoy riding in the wet. It’s got to be embraced in this country 😂
Unlucky with your brake mate. Conditions looked minging so kudos for getting out.

Iv never ever seen the ladybower sink holes working. Everytime i bloody go the water levels always low. Cool vid
This is the one and only time I’ve seen them. They are very impressive.
Kudos for riding in such crap weather, you've done well to keep the GoPro lens clean!
Adam Bonson it’s second nature now wiping the lens when I’m riding.
I never cleared The Beast - always had a foot down two or three times. Great vid, mate 🙂

common fault with sram brakes. but easy fix with the rebuild kit. get your self out mate. there is great riding to be had in the area
Good job you had those jelly babies!
Where was the descent at 5:30?
It’s Bradwell edge.
@@TrailFinder Good climb to get up there, and mega views back over to Ladybower! I went down in the dry and it's still sketchy from what I remember.
Some of your best commentary there. Brave in that weather. Interested in what waterproofs you go for.
Thanks. It was a while ago now and I have now changed my wet weather clothing. I now wear the Enjura onesie. Which is amazing
Used to up that on motorbike, good times, we used to call it dead sheep Hill!
what do you use to find all these spots? and whats the little device on your bike?
0S maps. And the device is a Garmin 820
The beast!? We've always called it dead sheep, and we come up it on motorbikes!
The beast is just it’s Strava segment name and what all mountain bikers know it as who use that platform
Great ride. What wet weather gear were you wearing? Pretty impressive to keep you dry in those conditions!
Jon Tait I was wearing SCOTT sports waterproof stuff. But thinking about that all in one suit from enduro for next winter the mt500
@@TrailFinder nice one, thanks!
Hi mate..do you have the trailforks map link as well? Thanks!!!
Just added it to the description mate
I've watched many different ones like these videos. Yours is not just the best but also relaxing ,calming :)
Thanks. I’m pleased you enjoy watching
Fair play on this one 😂
Great vid by the way 🤘🏻🤘🏻👊🏻

N rode the beast last week n must be mental in the wet 🤪🤪🤣🤣🤣🤣
hi jon. yeah was 20 miles. the waterproofs did there job. I do enjoy wet weather riding when you dressed for it.
I usually blast down the beast. but this day. no way. its not worth it it those conditions. especially when I'm self employed with work.
Yep we've all had rides like this one. Well done for going out in that crap 👍
Trail Tracker 2D I’m one of the weird ones who enjoys riding in these conditions 😂

only done this once, it was a shock, looked a lot rougher in real life than in the videos i saw beforehand! set off into it far too fast!

@@RideBikes_Walkplaces how strange. that message I replied a month ago wasn't showing on my computer. it is now!
Great riding fella, absolutely shitty weather though..
Thanks Dave. And yes. Not the best weather to be doing a ride like this 😂
