Another great video with some fantastic scenery. I live in a city and spend ALL my cycling time indoors on a turbo trainer using Zwift so these videos are like a breath of fresh air and are a pleasure to watch. Thanks for taking us all along on your rides!
Mate, that was a good ride, your restraint in not going in the pub for a pint is commendable. Have read a couple of books by one the landlords of the pub writing about the hardships during the long winter months, good stuff! Hope you had a nice Yorkshire pint at the end of your ride. Cheers John. Winter here in Auckland now but still rideable.
Hi mate another fantastic blog, I could do with some lessons on video techniques. I've put a ride on but on my mountain bike it has 85 newton metres of torque, the extra torque makes a fantastic difference, if I bought a new bike I would go for extra torque, I really enjoy the extra power on my mountain bike 😊
congratulation ... this is my backyard sort of ,the area is stunning as are the roads lots of nice climbs if you look hard enough...lol the Stang is epic either way you climb it .but i find it harder from the other side .
@@LakeDistrictcyclist also 6.6 miles from your start there is an other stunning road take the left at LOW ROW and brings you out on your route at the last pub you passed The C B HOTEL
I was at the Tan Hill Inn in April, had intended cycling back to Peterborough, but weather defeated me, it spent 2 nights at Tan Hill because of the weather, then I ended up walking up Buttertubs and even had to pedal down because of the head winds gusting up to 45 mph. Gave up after my camping gear got soaked, going to try again next year when I have my E bike, and going stay in hotels next time.
Great video mate, your progress is nothing short of amazing and you ve done it all with a lot of hard work so well done to you. I’ve got the Orbea Gain D50 which as you know, is a great bike, but I wonder if there is a very simple way of changing the lowest gear cog from 32 to a 34 for better hill climbing.
Excellent ride very well done, tough climb even on a bike with assist, did you use maximum assist on that climb, how muc battery did it use. Impressive nice job. Enjoy the rest of your week
Hi Terry thank you again I had it on full assist from Reeth to the top it was 11 miles of climbing going up around 1700ft so used about 75% of battery, that was a long and big climb though 😊
Great ride that - I love Tan Hill
Thank you, loved it views are something else 😊
Spectacular. Well done.
Thank you Russ, really enjoyed it 😊
Fantastic achievement! You give hope to the rest of us!

Nice one, that road up to Barnard castle is the infamous 'stand', nice shot of the curlews protecting their nests :)
Thank you for the info Alan I’ve heard of that climb, looks mental and it’s nice to know the name of the birds 😊
@@LakeDistrictcyclist 'Stang' not stand, damp autocorrect ;) BTW, it's well within your capabilities these days
I got what you meant as watched a UA-cam video of someone climb it 😊 thanks might add it to my list 😊

Sounds like a nice trip, Buttertubs looks a hell of a climb

I changed my cassette to a 11-34 which is a great help, don’t think it would cost a lot and thank you 😊

Congratulations & a big well done mate, are you considering getting the Mahle battery extender yet?
No mate more than happy what I get from the battery, thank you 😊
