Hi, you most definitely will be able to ride around Lyn Brenig pulling toddler trailer, but might be a bit more awkward around Lyn Alwen as there is a skinny bridge, an awkward style gate plus a very steep up & downward hill. Other than that an amazing outdoor space to go bike riding & walking!

Hi thanks, the bike is a HAIBIKE Hardseven 6 which I have had for just over 2 years now, done over 6000 miles & only have the one battery. To save battery power, I try to ride as much as I can in eco mode then auto mode when needed as the battery does go down quickish now due to age & usage.

Brilliant, glad you enjoyed it & yes the hill from Ashford goes on forever & ever!!

Hi, yes we have started riding most of our rides in eco mode for half/most of the ride, then use a little help up any hills & might turn auto mode on for journey back if we want to hurry the ride up 😀

Thank you & enjoy!

Yes the ride was lovely & I'm happy Chris is now able to come out riding again 😀

I think so, it looks like they are building a multi use path up to it just like the canal side 🙂

Did you do the other ride from Friden the other day, if so did you enjoy it?

@@brooksey234 no we didn’t on this occasion.. did another ride but I’ve got it saved on my garmin 👍

Absolutely cake and coffee .and a rest stop. Take pictures and enjoy the zen part of cycling . I love this guy's post

Aha yes, unfortunately Minninglow & Friden carpark are no longer free :(

But you can park in this free carpark in Rowsley which the route passes by, search this in google maps: Rowsley Car Park - DDDC

@@brooksey234 cheers I’ll have a look but if I have to pay at one it’s a small price to pay for the enjoyment 👍

Here is the same route but I have replanned the start for you to start at FREE carpark in Rowsley, enjoy. Komoot link: www.komoot.com/tour/1653934249?share_token=anSobKz6HHkZuG2GS6xHzlQahj9mccxF6yMcNubXTUC6MpGp4i&ref=wtd

@@brooksey234 hi mate .. looking on komoot it says it goes up 56 steps .? Is this true ? Me and a couple of friends want to do it but one them (she) is not keen in carrying her bike up some steps .. we was going to start from friddon btw Thanks in advance ..

Hiya, can you send me a message from the actual video/route so I know what one as I have a few that start at Friden.

@@brooksey234 I think I’ve found it I’m heading up there later this week I live in heanor and done lots of routes you have on my e-bike like the Erewash canal and Attenborough and elvaston but looking for more routes .. I have a garmin 1030 plus and send routes to that .. I’ve not quite got used to the garmin yet it’s a bit hit n miss tbh .. I’ll send you the link I’ve found

@@brooksey234 even though I don’t think you start at fridden think it’s mini glow but I can start at fridden can’t I ??

@@andrewwhetton7 Yes sure, you can edit any route you find on Komoot, you just need to save it, then choose to edit it to suit what you like to do.

Yes, but all my routes are perfectly ok on a normal bike too. I just bought e-bike almost two years ago now, to help me keep getting out on bike due to age related health issues(knee, hip wrist arthritis)

Yes, I have avoided most of the bridleways on this route for a few months thinking exactly the same about them all being like swampy mud fests! So was pleasantly surprised that they were all reasonable dry & hard 😀

Thankyou, I'm glad they are helping to inspire new places & ideas to go & ride 😀

Hi, glad you like the videos. I live in Derby, so all the routes that start in Derby I cycle start to finish etc. Anything that is in the Peak District or further afield, I drive to start, park up & start the ride. All my local bike ride routes/videos are all capable on a normal bike, just so happens I now have an electric mtb, which to be honest is the best thing I have ever bought! I do still have a normal bike too, which gets used very rarely!

@@brooksey234 Thank you for the reply. What bike do you have? Would you recommend it?

Its a Haibike Hardseven 6, a basic lower range hardtail, but is absolutely brilliant & capable for all basic riding on & off road. Yes I would recommend it & any well made branded electric bike, just do not get tempted to buy the cheap knock off amazon/Chinese ones as these are not well made & you will be disappointed(dodgy components & dangerous battery's). There are some good deals around online & instore at most bike shops due to over supply from the covid knock on effect. If you want an mtb & are in the position to buy one, just do it!! They are brill & you will always be finding a reason to go out riding & not looking for a reason to stay in!! They help to ride further, harder, longer & also take you places you would not have thought possible or doable on a bike!! Here is info link to my bike brand followed by link to the online bike shop I bought it from: www.haibike.com/gb/en/hardtail-mountain-bikes/hardseven-6-gb1121?id=45008145 & www.e-bikeshop.co.uk/

@@brooksey234 Thank you, i will take a look!

Hi, I agree with what you say if it was a once every now & then trip, but when the prices only a year or so ago was an 'average' £5 - £6 to then virtually double is just a rip off the same as the whole of GB has now just turned into an absolute rip off cash cow for everything. I wouldn't mind paying this if it was the only way this place makes their money, but it isn't. Also the fact that I like going out every weekend (sat & sun) plus any other available day off from work if it is not raining, these prices are just way to much & add up to a considerable amount that myself & a lot of other people cannot afford & is becoming one of many reasons that people are not going out & enjoying the outdoors less.

Yes, do keep meaning to get a windslayer or something eventually 😀

Love the whole area, it makes me really happy when I'm out riding in such lovely countryside 😀

Yes it was good fun, we really enjoyed doing something 'proper' & made us feel like excited big kids!!

Hi, the starting point on my komoot map is the exact spot where I park, it is the only remaining free layby on the ladybower entrance road. It is the first one on the right. Also you can park on the main snake pass road as it passes over the reservoir if you get there early enough as this is also free.

These are the co-ordinates for the layby just copy & paste this into google maps: 53°23'06.3"N 1°43'13.1"W or this one 53°22'27.9"N 1°42'23.1"W

We had a great day out riding this route last Sunday, parts of it were tough 😅

@@boxercup1 Glad you had a great time. Yes, it was very hard & above mine & friends ability in places(had to get off & walk)!! I have replanned the route to change a couple of parts which we will do again in the future. Here is the link to slightly different version: www.komoot.com/tour/1552032942?share_token=aslMf26jjXbd7sJCsJkdNP86Ea4eljYUHQPd0lnqi6U9kNqMkl&ref=wtd

Hiya, it is a HAIBIKE HARDSEVEN 6 hardtail; www.haibike.com/gb/en/hardtail-mountain-bikes/hardseven-6-gb1121?id=45008145

Thankyou, glad you like them! As for getting an E-Bike, stop thinking about it, GET ONE 😃

I have arthritis in the hip so I can't ride a cross bar bike . But I am going to give it ago. You both are inspiring. Xxx

I know, it is to help on the hills because of the inherited arthritis I have in my hip & knees! Also because I cycle a lot I am actually cycling above the assistance of the motor anyway & I do also have a normal bike too! I also do 10km every morning on my exercise bike before work. Riding an e-bike is not cheating it just helps people get out & push further & harder than they would on a normal bike if they need a little help on the hills etc. In the last 18 months of having this bike I have now almost cycled 6000 miles!!

O & I have actually ridden these trails many times over on my normal bike when my kids were little, pulling them along on a tag-along bike.

On friends bike half a battery & on mine about a quarter. I have had my bike for 2 years now & done almost 6000 miles on it, so my battery goes down quite rapid on hilly terrain & have to pay attention to usage now. Other than that all ok & a great route 😃

I can see at 27:04 I have three bars & 25 mile estimated range left a few minutes before we finished the ride 😃

Yes the views were amazing, thanks to the weather turning out good for a change! Will definitely be doing more variations of the route around the area in the future 😀
