In the white ones they are pretty snug inside. The ball of my foot is quite proud on the foot and I also have a small bone piece sticking out on the opposite side. I often get metatarsal discomfort from all footwear these days so should probably seek a medical assessment. I do have these same shoes in black and after a few years of heavy use, they have given to more room inside so I’m happy with both pairs

They’re great for me. It’s worth taking a look at the Lake size guide on the website and draw around your foot with a pencil and paper, then measure the 2 widest points

@theyorkshirewheeler thank You very much

@@garysbraccia4980 they seem ok for me so far, I’ve only worn on better weather days but have made a point of wiping them down after each ride. Mainly with a baby wipe

I’m sure you will love it! Was my first experience of a Tarmac and can’t believe I’ve spent so much time not considering one 😁

Hey mate, it’s the DJI Osmo Action 4. The 5 has just recently come out but the difference doesn’t justify an upgrade for me, so you might find some good deals on the 4! 👍

And to follow up, some of my older videos were GoPro Hero 11 but I sold it as they make it difficult and expensive to hook up 3rd party mics and the built in mic is crap. So that’s why I moved over to DJI

@@theyorkshirewheeler Appreciate the response and the vid, mate. Good work.

Thanks mate happy riding 🙌🏻

Was a similar one like that right near the end up to Southowram! Would love to have a go on these again once the leaves are clear.

Time to get yourself a gravel bike 😜 quite a few good spots where you are based!

Thanks mate, crazy day!!

Quite a few tricky parts that day but overall very good!

That’s a great bike from what I’ve seen around on UA-cam. Hope it’s treating you well and you’re enjoying the gravel scene 🙌🏻

Hey Anne! I’m using the Pirelli Centurato Gravel M 45mm tyres on this bike. The bike did ship with 40mm Cadex tyres but I almost straight away opted for a wider tyre and chunkier tread as the Cadex ones seemed pretty bald. I just put a gravel video up on my channel recently which shows the bike and spec off in a little more detail if you wanted to check it out - thanks 🙌🏻

Some great points there, thanks for sharing in the comments 🙌🏻

Hey - thanks for your comment! I know what you mean on that front, are you new to cycling altogether, or just gravel? My bike is the Giant Revolt Advanced 0 with an upgraded wheelset but the CXR2 carbon ones it ships with are still perfectly fine. I opted for this one as it has the luggage mount holes on the forks so I can use it as a bikepacking rig too - that's something to consider if you are looking for more than just gravel riding. I love the bike for it's relaxed geometry which means it's very comfortable for all day rides where body position is concerned. Obviously depending on the gravel surfaces things can still get bumpy and body fatigue sets in so bear this in mind for any bike vs. where you would be intending to ride. Hope that helps but ping some more questions over if you want to!

Thanks for the reply, I’m new to gravel, I’m currently on a Trek dual sport 2 which is ok but I want to take my rides to the next level 😊

Well you are in the right place! I was sceptical and must admit it did take me a while to say I was “enjoying it” but now I’m definitely sold on gravel. Be sure to have a good poke around on komoot to see what gravel is within reach of your local area

I never wanted a MTB so much in my life until that day! 😂

Some suspension in my neck and spine would be nice😂

Also, forgot to say, we’ve had absolute zero crashes on my way at that early slot, which is why it’s always best to choose the quickest planned finishing time (3.5-4.00h.) 😅

Was a top day out wasn’t it! Shame it’s not on for 2025, I’ll have to find some other events to keep an eye out for

It was the first time there for me but I feel its like that all year round 😂

Thanks mate. The bad weather kept our sportive dream alive, was just missing you there to get soaked too 😂

Certainly was! My brain had never rattled so much before. Bet it’s a doddle on a mountain bike 😵‍💫

@@theyorkshirewheeler haha all fun and games as they say 🫣. Cracking effort considering the conditions and terrain

@@neilgreenfield6414 time to get yer sen a gravel bike 😝

Likewise mate, each day was challenging in different ways. Would love to do it all over again mind

Thanks mate it’s one to remember!

Cheers Mark. Yeah was a mixed bag when it came to surface type I must say! My mate who did the MTB route said it was much different to what I experienced. I really could have done with suspension 😆

I think we need to petition for more gravel events in summer although that’s still taking a gamble 😂

It’s fairly aggressive so be sure you’re ok with that based on your body’s flexibility and length of rides you’ll be doing. Defo sit on a jig in store if you can, they sized up my size and handlebar dimensions bang on. I’m on a small frame as only 173cm 😆

That’s some going well done pal. I’m so glad I took an 11-34 for that event as it helped massively!

@@theyorkshirewheeler Cheers! I hit Wrynose at 9pm, 1.5hr behind schedule due to a flat and wisely decided to buy a new tyre in Hawes..it’s something else Wrynose and Hardknott in the pitch black! I recommend it 👍 Happy cycling pal

Thanks mate!

Thanks for the comment! Good tip on the parking option, definitely one to consider for next year as it was a pain for us getting a train in from the outskirts. Sure hope it's dry for 2025 for a better experience, and less punctures for the inner tube gang 😆

Highly recommend it on a hot day! When the temperatures soon drop I will be opting for the warm dessert options they have, win win!

Top day mate looking forward to the next!

The cruising section on Hardknott is a lovely little relief before it starts going up and up again further along 😂 did Rosedale a couple years ago and remember zig zagging that big drag at the top 😬

Was a first Velo29 for me, well organised and informed - impressed! I might be doing their other Yorkshire one coming up soon and the Silverstone one looks like an experience that shouldn’t missed!

Well done mate, that’s a mental achievement you should be proud 💪🏻 hope the recovery and backside repair is going ok 😆

Most definitely! I do moan about the cold a lot but the Dales on a hot day is brutal! I think it was feed 3 or 4 which was unmanned then the final one was part a of loop covering the 1st feed of the day 😁

Thanks mate can’t wait for the next one!

haha thanks so much mate, appreciated! It's a tough climb but don't let that put you off, just keep spinning and DON'T STOP 🤣

@@theyorkshirewheeler your welcome mate...ive just got into cycling and got my first bike since a younger lad really anxious about alot of things 😅... ill get there 1 day lol...and yeah DONT STOP 👍...keep up the good work and keep on inspiring people take care mate

@@DeanKelz great to hear! I’ve only been into cycling a few years myself and started from scratch like most of us. Always here if you want any tips and just enjoy every pedal stroke 😁

Thanks pal

Thanks 🤩

😂 think I hit my max at one point which is around 183-185

Definitely a tough one that. I did that and glaisdale horror on a struggle event a while back. Maybe I should do a ‘my top 10 hardest climbs’ video 😄

I love hearing people's Hardknott stories it's the climb that has so much to offer for various reasons 😀

🥳

Thanks mate, could well be that. I don’t think my body likes the rough stuff so much! Have recently been putting some extra leg and core work in at the gym which has helped massively on long road rides so will see how the next glorious gravel event goes depending on the terrain. Just did the Velo 29 Ripon Tour de France anniversary ride today, video up in a couple days time 😁

I haven’t done the other way yet, it sure is a sketchy descent I’ll say that! I need to get back over there and do Wrynose the official top 100 direction still

Yeah tbh I don’t see why so many claim it’s the hardest, it is hard but is perfectly doable for most. I haven’t done Honister yet but have seen a few claim it’s definitely in their top 5 hardest

Have you tried trooper lane in Halifax ​@theyorkshirewheeler

@@markhall6026yeah still haven’t done it, I’m not actually too far from there at all. Wanted to do the Ronde van Calderdale but couldn’t make it this year. I’ve got a little route planned to tick off Trooper Lane, Shibden Wall & Ploughcroft Lane from the Top 100 and Yorkshire expansion pack. Just need to get over that way and make the ride more worthwhile. Have you done it?
