- Cycling heaven ! On this trip we cycled from the town of Whalley in Lancashire via the Bowland fells into the Yorkshire Dales National Park with the 3 peaks of Pen-y-ghent Ingleborough and Wernside ahead of us.
If you are a keen cyclist or are hoping to set yourself some new challenges to get out on the bike and do some exploring, then this channel might be be just what you are looking for.
With maps and a narration of how the day went and the usual banter coupled with a high speed descent before the all important cafe stop, what more could you ask for.
I'm a cyclist and I live in the Pennines - and on this episode I let Mike loose with a camera.....
Absolutely brilliant top class you too
Cheers LDC, Keep up the great work with your channel too. You are very fortunate to have some amazing routes and trails on your doorstep ...
I was watching this when my wife said “who wants to film themselves cycling and who watches this crap anyway? " She then paused for a couple of seconds and added," well look at you. "
Another great presentation.
Ha ha thanks Vinnie, You can tell your wife that I share her sentiments. I still can't believe that people watch half of the stuff I put out there, especially when me n' Mike are chatting utter nonsense .
All the best mate and have a wonderful Christmas ...
95 miles.......Wow!
Iv'e just got into Cycling on my new Cube Hybrid Electric Bike..........and I'm really proud of doing 30 miles!! .......with some assistance. Nothing but admiration for you two!
That's great to hear. I think that e-bikes definitely have a lot to offer for people who are wanting to get into cycling but are concerned about the distances. Let me know how you get on too, I have heard that some of the newer models have excellent ranges now from the battery technology.
Yes great to see you back sir it’s been a while like , now we’re approaching the shortest day this video was a nice reminder of what’s to come next year as the days will get longer/ warmer again so cheers for that , yes I’ve also done that newton descent & it’s fast and that right turn bridge comes up real fast . And thank you for making me want to get back out there 🚴🏻♂️😃
Only a few more days to go and we are over the hill - so to speak buddy.
We did a ride on Sunday and went over Grindleton fell which brought us out on the fast section into Newton in Bowland. I just love it out here. All the best for 2024 and here's to lighter nights and warmer days.....
Just found your channel after looking for three peak routes. I don’t even cycle but they make me laugh. Mike and his Walnut Whips 😂
Hello and thank you for sending us a message, it's greatly appreciated. There's never a dull moment when you are out with Mike but we also take our cycling very seriously 🙂
You can't beat a day out in the Dales for sure 👍
Great route. That road from Ribblehead to Horton always seems like hard miles with a few sharp climbs! Nice to see a decent cafe along there.
It's a bit lumpy Andy for sure , which is why I try to keep getting the miles in through the week in order to enjoy these kind of rides.
A tail wind always helps, which I'm sure you will appreciate but the legs and lungs need to be used it 😫🙂
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures Yeah. I usually try to get regular miles in round extended commuting to work on road or on the gravel bike in winter, then do longer rides at weekends. But the weather really has been appalling for the last couple of months. Resorted to a cheap smart turbo and Zwift. Ho hum. Hopefully some decent weather soon....
Turbo trainers and Zwift definitely have a place for all year round fitness. I personally don't use either so on some of the really really bad days on my daily commute, my average speed can be 11mph or even 10. (Point) something !
That means fellow Zwift users are doing a 20 mile work out in an hour whereas I'm taking 2 hours.
And I hate riding hard to go slow.....☹👍
good to see you still getting out lads
Sure thing Robbo, we have managed to get some decent rides in given how poor the summer was 👍
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures yeah and it hasnt got any better since lol
O nooo just read description *let Mike loose with camera ....oooo I'm looking forward to this one Daz hahah
When you give Mike a camera, always expect the unexpected Geoff...
@MrDazP1adv3ntures ahhahah yeah I've come to that realisation, he's a super fit guy tho kudos when kudos is due ...that without black pudding 🍮 hehe...stay safe guys x
@Geoff333 when Mike keeps up a regular training regime he becomes a very strong rider. He tends to stay at the back quite a lot, wheel sucking, and taking it steady, but he can turn a big gear and hold a good pace.
It's nice though to go for a ride, have a laugh and then, if we want to, we can go a bit quicker.
I think the methain from the lush cow shit as got to black pudding man lol .I always look forward to your videos. Fantastic.
I think you may have hit the nail on the head there Matt. 👍
🤣🙈
Troughing. That's a new one for me 🤣😂😂 cracking video again!
Ha ha, when Mike's troughing he goes totally quiet Di.
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures I did notice. I didn't recognise him with his helmet off either lol
Yes, that's right Di. I spotted it when I was editing the video. He always keeps it on in the cafe !
Tell Mike he's not allowed to say 'cycling heaven' now for the next 10 rides! Another cracking route and video. It really is, ahem ... cycling heaven up there. Pen-y-ghent is just one of those fells you can't stop marvelling at when you're on those roads.
Hey up OMC. I will tell Mike, don't you worry about that, he he . I totally agree with you about Pen-y-ghent too. It looks super impressive from all angles and having walked all around these fells with the pooches for many years, it's great to ride through the valleys below and admire the Dales from another perspective.
I will keep an eye out for you on the trails buddy, you never know we might cross paths one of these days.
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures I'm a good few mph slower than you but I'll give you a shout if I ever see you flying past! Have a great Xmas and New Year!
🙈
Cheers buddy, you too.
That’s was a fantastic ride mate bloody long my legs would be ruined hope your well daz have a great Christmas bro cheers
You would be impressed with this part of England buddy. It is all limestone with gritstones higher up and occasional siltstone. The ice ages shaped and carved the hills and valleys for miles n' miles.
Seasons greetings to too pal 👍
Great video Daz, some stunning views. £8 in that cafe compared to Knutsford 😬. A very nice part of cheshire but very expensive. Will we see another video before Christmas 😁🤞
Thank you Jay, I am trying to back off on the editing time a little bit on the next one and will try to get a sneaky video out ASAP.
They just seem to take for ever to put together these days.
Either way, have a fab Christmas and seasons greetings from this end..
@MrDazP1adv3ntures i can only imagine how much work goes into the editing. With the actual filming, i don't think anyone's doing it as good as you. I hope you have a fantastic Christmas and New Year, daz 🎅🥳🚴🏿♂️
Thanks once again Jay and all the best ....
It’s been a while but worth the wait Daz. Another great video keep them coming.
Merry Christmas 🎄 and all the best for 2024.
Thanks Tony and all the best to you over the festive period.
Great video Daz, I’ll definitely call in at the Blind Beck when I’m in Ingleton again next year.
This is pretty close to where you go pal so I'm sure you will easily find it. We have got a few more days to the winter solstice and then we can look forward to the lighter nights and spring ...
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures yes, I cycled past it in August, going the opposite way to you.
The countdown is on for Spring.
Bring it on 👍
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures have a great Christmas and thanks for the entertaining videos.
Cheers buddy, you too 👍
Eh up Mike. Happy Christmas and New Year fella
All the best and Seasons greetings from this end 👍
Cheers, Happy Christmas and Happy New Year mate.
Great video as usual Daz with the bog standard ace route. Its a nice part of the world we live in with the Dales, Trough and Lakes all not too far away.
Hi CDW, I never get bored of riding in this area and we are getting the knack of creating rides off the hoof, so to speak.
The camera never does it any justice but every visit to the Dales leaves a long lasting memory.
Thanks for the comments and Seasons greetings....👍
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Mike dear lawd he gave me so much laughter
He definitely gave it his best shot on this one Shane. I will let him know ...
Cheers Shane.
Hope you both had a lovely Christmas with plenty of black pudding for Mike, you two are more entertaining than the bloody tv. the storm ⛈️ clouds have more interest….but will it ever stop raining ☔️…. Risley has been flooded for weeks …. ‘Happy New Year’ 🎉
Hello Bernice and best wishes for the New year to you, your friends and family. I hope you are keeping well and not over doing it....
Thank you so much for popping by to this corner of the internet and thank you for all of your kind words over the last year or so. Take care and it was lovely hearing from you
Darren
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures thank you Darren for the good wishes, I’ve been out of commission for some time, just the occasional comment on ‘Outlander’ old war wounds catching up with me….and old age 🥴but I’m ok. at the moment, listen to a lot of Audio books to stop myself from falling asleep 😴 but it has the opposite affect 😂 take care, and best wishes from a wet and windy Derby’s 🤗
Thank you Bernice. All the best ...
50 miles to the cafe stop Daz...I'm never doing a ride with you!! 😂😂
It's always a bit of a daunting prospect early on in the season when you don't quite have the fitness but once it's there, you can hit 100 miles and still have a smile on your face week in week out. It's just breaking the ride down into chunks. I must admit though, I was a bit peckish at 50 miles...
Great ride there Daz, I cant remember if I suggested The Lambing Shed for you previously so apologies if so I cant remember it being that expensive! Saw your message about your change of circumstances. You will manage to sort a work/life balance soon i'm sure. All the best to you for Christmas and for 2024.
Hi James, The Lambing shed was a great cafe and I am looking forward to editing it in the near future. It was a tad on the pricey too but nevertheless it made for a great day out in Cheshire.
Can I Thank you for your continual support and comments and wishing you all the very best for 2024 buddy.
Very nice. That's a conniving little right-hander in an otherwise sweet hill a 10:47 - I feel very timid about it now I've seen it. One of those that looks tame, but suddenly has an extra several degrees of turn that you don't expect, and looks like a bit of adverse camber there too ? Wicked!
It's a cracker but a little bit of local knowledge can go a long way.
We did the Grindleton fell climb yesterday and then ended up doing the Ski slope descent into Newton in Bowland from the Meanley side. Love around these parts buddy

@@MrDazP1adv3ntures ah, sounds fabulous! -I envy your location. We have some hills, but cracking descents like the ones you video are few and far between down here. Have an excellent festive season Daz!
You too , all the best for 2024 my friend
We have been to that little cafe, like someones front room, very cheap
It's a good little cafe to plan any ride around when your in the Dales. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and enjoy your cycling 🚴♀️👍
Nice ride, looks great route, there’s no way I could do that many miles, my knee hurts after 40 mile 🤮 you don’t even look like you’ve both broken sweat 😂
Hello Mark, we have to keep training through the week to be able to do these kind of rides and smile whilst we are doing them. Once you have got the "Bug" it's a great feeling to get out there and just ride your bike all day long
@@MrDazP1adv3nturesI’ve just bought an indoor trainer, to see if I can improve by summer, I did Otley to Burnsall on my gravel bike which you can see on my channel, never again or at least on a gravel bike, I was knackered, think it’s cause the gearing was similar to a mountain bike and took more effort, I’ve just bought a trek Domane AL3 hopefully will be lots better for the roads, but thinking of getting something better next year,
A good road bike can make a big difference when you change from an ATB or gravel bike, you can literally find "free speed'.
I like to use my hybrid Frankenstein bike in winter because it's simply designed to get you from A to B.
It's great to then get on a full carbon racing bike and feel the difference instantly. It is like night and day .
This may have been the same day I cycled over The Trough as well. What was that song, “Memories”. 🤣
Ha ha , I could almost hear you singing that tune then.
I remember you being out this way when we were in the area. You will have to let us know next time and we could meet up.
Daz I love Mike , but don’t give him the camera 📸😂
Hi Dave , thanks for the advice buddy . I will bare the is in mind ...
❤️
and give him the camera more often 🙂
Ha ha, I will tell him that people are asking for more live commentary on our rides 🤔😁👍
Mike definitely needs to do his own spin-off series.
Yes I know, I have spoken to him about this. I will let him know
🙈
You keep clapping Mike 🙂
put a gag on Mike!
I think that is a good idea 👍
where did you find mike? :-)
He's part of the cycling gang from our local area I used to ride with.
Hi daz, could you just remind me what garmin you use, please 😎🚴🏿♂️
Sure thing Jay, I use a basic garmin unit. It's a Garmin edge Touring model.
They are pretty good value for money and offer you all the usual data and the maps are excellent to navigate with.
@MrDazP1adv3ntures Thanks for that daz. I've been looking at one for a while now, but its a complete mine field. You, take care and have a fantastic Christmas 😁🎅🚴🏿♂️
I use the Touring model because it is basic. A lot of the guys like the latest units because they have connectivity and offer features such as power meter reading and ability to link to your phone to receive messages.
I personally don't bother with any of that nonsense. But it is perfect for others.
@MrDazP1adv3ntures Thanks, Daz, yea, that's all i won't one for. i dont need all the bells and whistles. So is the 530 model 🤓🚴🏿♂️
I would check the battery life on what ever you decide. I used to use Lezyne because they lasted for a super long time. The only issue with them, was the twist locks. They don't last If you take the unit off every day.
