- I'm a cyclist and I live in the Pennines which means only one thing. It's hilly !
Today I set set off on a fantastic bike ride in my local hills with a few of my mates where the aim was to ride on some classic cycling roads and take on some iconic ascents around the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
The nature of these undulating routes would always test the strongest of riders and after every climb the descents that followed would be fast and at times a bit on the scary side.
So - Who are we.
We are a bunch of cycling enthusiasts who live in the foothills of the Pennines.
Where are we.
We are based on the border between Lancashire and West Yorkshire not too far from the City of Manchester.
What do we do.
We cycle to places in the North West of England in search of great cafes on some classic cycling routes.
Why do we do it.
We do it because we are passionate about this great sport of ours and want share the moments with all you keen cyclist out there .
These videos come with a narration of the ride, maps and so much more, they will also give you an insight into group cycling and what to expect on a long ride such as this one.
Personally I hope they will offer you some inspiration and motivation to keep on cycling . - กีฬา
Enjoyed that some cracking skills by all
Thank you Jason. I wasn't sure whether to play all the full footage of these descents because they do go for a bit, but if this is liked by the viewers I will make a few more like this.
Looked like a fantastic ride there buddy thanks for taking us along for the ride (virtually) those are some quick bikes and many motorists underestimate the speed of them .
There's some lovely bikes in the peloton nowadays and like you say the car drivers have no idea about how much ground we can cover in a short space of time on them. Hope you are still getting out too.
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures yeah a little bit not as much as would like but just keeping the wheels turning when I can .
It's hard this time of year but also important to keep your foot in the water so to speak.
brilliant.
There's some fast descents around these parts Matt
Lovely that Bianchi Daz, Mike’s invested some serious dosh on that! My Bianchi Via Nirone is about 9kg.. so no wonder you chaps can hit those speeds and smash it up hills with all that kit! I’m going gravelling later though on my 13kg Specialized Hybrid my Triggers Broom. Keep up the good work on the vids, look forward to seeing how you get on with the Rapha 500.
The gravel bike should be fun John and yes I love the Bianchi it is a real head turner and very light. Let's see what the Rapha 500 brings this year too.
Another brilliant video. Some cracking bikes there 👌
Thanks Cwil 👍 I hope it comes across to the viewers and is what people want to watch.
Thanks for the video as always Daz. Good to get some nice descents in like that, it's been a while since I've had the opportunity!. Plotted a couple of rides in the North Pennines that I didn't manage to do this year, hopefully next spring as there looks like some great descending
You can't beat a good descent Mark just so long as you make it down to the bottom safely.
Best of luck for 2022 with your cycling buddy. I guess we are always waiting for the next adventure.
Great ride out again. No such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothes. (Unless its icy) Keep up the great videos Daz
Hello Biking Cannon, if it is any consolation, I wore 4 pair of socks with over shoes yesterday and it wasn't enough lol. I had to call into my mum's on the way back and borrow some of my dad's old socks to complete the final leg !
All the best for 2022 buddy and keep on riding ..
Great ride that one Daz, great video always enjoy watching especially when we can’t get out due to the weather this way
Thanks Jimbo, it is proper winter now and very cold. We managed a half decent ride today into the home of the Bronte's
That was a great ride pal. I defo let it that day.
It looked a lot tougher than it was pal , I guess the fitness of the lads proved what we can do as a group
Great vid Daz. Tell Mike those tan lines aren’t welcome in knutsford 😂 hope you and the gang are well. See you on the next one.
Will do James, The tan lines will be long gone now I suspect so he should be OK in Wilmslow
Another good vid cheers. A couple I like, A62 down to Marsden, A635 down passed Dovestones and Holme Moss down to Woodhead - all interesting and potentially fast.
I know the ones you mean and they are both very fast descents on their day. The Holme Moss descent in particular
super vid Mr Daz some serious riding on some serious bikes .Great stuff !
Cheers Phillip, This was a cracking ride and after watching the playback I think it's time to slow down a bit .
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures There is plenty of time for slowing down and the gentler stuff when you get to my age ,make the most of it while you can.Your vids are the best you should have a tv channel called STRICTLY COME CYCLING HA HA
Very funny, made me laugh again Phillip. It has a certain ring to it !
Are we sure Mike isn't spending his black pudding fund on fake tan? haha! another cracking video Daz, missing summer!
That's a good point there Jack, I will have to ask him next time he's out .
looks a good route out missing out that main rd thro nelson that daz... theres one u probably know u will fly down whatever bike u on from the old isle of skye into meltham :)
Yes I know where you mean, there are some fast roads out that way when the wind is in the right direction and as for this route today it was a good one but a bit lumpy for some of the guys. Personally I'm not that bothered about the rolling hills because it goes with the territory around here .
Another smashing ride Daz, love the amount of detail you put into the rides. Loved your last to rides with Mike, you have some great banter. Not been out for a while again, but doing plenty of Zwift, trying to complete some routes to get more familiar. You lads take care out their, have a wonderful Christmas and here's to a better year for cycling, cheers Alan.
Thanks Alan, It's all about enjoying the riding and spending some time with your your mates out on the bike👍
It's good to hear that you are keeping your training regime up on Zwift too.
Look after yourself and those nearest and dearest to you and likewise I hope you have a great Christmas.
Take care Alan.
im not into riding daz but another good vid
Thanks John, It's my main sport but I have so many other things that I'm into. Hopefully I will get a few other videos done soon other than the cycling ones. I have a backlog of em !
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures i m into gold daz and metal detecking but it dosnt matter to me just being in the outdoors is good . but the way you do all makes me happy
Cheers Jonathan. I need to give Digger Dawn a bell and do some detecting with her. My mate in this video walks the dog with her.
