Enjoyed the videos very much. Thank you.
Fantastic! This is now on my cycling to do list.
Lovely set of cycling videos, thanks.
Brilliant, well done both of you. 👍
Very good- thank you. I'm just back from the route, camping all the way, finishing it off with a windy night on Flamborough Head. I then returned home, near Preston, via Thirsk, Wensleydale, Ingleton.
Well that’s the final instalment watched, and that confirms that TWOTR is a lovely 🚴♂️ route.
Thanks very much for that very well presented series 👍
Thanks, Tony. The only thing we would do differently is add another day or so to stay a little longer.
@@RideWithRoy ah yes Roy, I would always allow enough time to enjoy a route without rushing it.
Cheers.
Thanks for sharing Roy nearly caught me on your video as you were descending into Bridlington where the trees were over the road like a tunnel I think I saw you just a bit further down that road we were coming out as a strung out group of five! The Wolds are very familiar cycling terrain for me - our group the York Wednesday wheelers sometimes do a Hockney ride there where we take copies of some of the Hockney‘s work and stop at the points where we think he painted some of the views. Looks like a great trip and one that we may do one day. Russell
I remember that pretty section well, Russell. The Hockney thing is a great idea. Having a theme for a ride adds another level of interest.
Hi Roy,just watched your 3 videos,very enjoyable,I’m hoping to do it 2024,thought about using my Brompton but looking at the hills purchasing a gravel bike might be in order,you had a very positive cycling partner which goes a long way to the enjoyment,again great videos & thanks for sharing your adventure,atb Colin P,👍
Thanks, Colin, I’m pleased you enjoyed them. Yes, ride partners can make or break a long ride. Having been outridden by Bromtons on occasions, I am sure you could do it, but a gravel bike is the ideal for some of the slightly rougher sections. I hope you get to do it next year so please let us know how you get on 🙂
Loved seeing your beautiful countryside! Thanks for sharing this!
Thoroughly enjoyed these three videos. As a Yorkshireman, now living in Northumberland, it’s been great to see some of the places from way back. Thanks Roy and Wendy. A grand effort!
Thanks Roy that was great video it brought back some great memories of the w.o.r. my daughter & I completed the journey last year in 3 days too but I found doing it over that period a little bit tough but nevertheless what a great way to enjoy this lovely country that we live in well done to Wendy too & Terry of course! So looking forward to more of your videos Roy & thanks again 👍
Great insight into the route, thanks 🤞🙂
that's the best video iv watched of W.O.R and iv seen loads well done to you both glad you liked GOD'S OWN COUNTRY
SUBSCRIBED
Thanks, Mark, that’s very kind. It really was a very special adventure.
Thanks for sharing your trip, really inspirational, live near Aldwark Bridge and good to see some familiar paths. York to Bridlington is now on my to do list. For information Aldwark Bridge (near Boroughbridge) will be closing for repairs for a couple of months in the near future. There is a footbrige near by but not sure if suitable for cycles, will check out.
Well done to you both 🚴🚴🚴
That road thru a forest running parallel to a busy highway was simply amazing. Looked like a great road to cycle on. I'm envious; there is nothing even remotely like that where I ride. You and Wendy seem to be having a great time.
Well done Roy and Wendy brilliant 3 stage ride, beautiful scenery with a few testing climbs along the way, great ride, I would have thought Halfords would have had a lift as the cycle department is on the first floor.
Im sure it must as all stores have to comply with access for the disabled.
They could well have done, Terry but I didn't think to look.
Thankyou Roy this was amazing to view and well worth the wait! Ironic you met a Californian gentleman on your travels its all I watch on UA-cam I love their downhill rides! Over here on the Isle of Wight I ride up to the Chillerton downs and you can see right across the whole island its Breathtaking!
Both of my sons live near Fareham so we plan a cycling day trip to the island. I once flew my microlight from Lincolnshire to Sandown so had some great views of the island. It’s such a beautiful place and must be ideal for cycle touring.
Loved the videos Roy and it looks a great ride .... I've now added it to my rides wish list. In common with my Pennine Cycleway (PCW) trip at the same time, you had some decent weather which is always a bonus. At times, you had some good traffic free riding by the look of it, although in common with the PCW this is ideally suited to a gravel bike and perhaps, as you say, not so well suited to a carbon road bike with expensive wheels.
Yes, Roger, had the weather been unkind it would have been a completely different experience. During the entire trip we only experienced one instance of dangerous driving. The driver concerned gave us plenty of room but in doing so nearly caused a collision with an oncoming car. I couldn’t show it as the police are using my video evidence to take action. I’m sure it wouldn’t be too difficult to plan a reroute to avoid the rougher parts that wouldn’t suit a road bike, but I guess that would take in more of the busier roads. As you saw, even on the quiet roads the surfaces were superior to some of the main roads elsewhere in the country.
Brilliant scenery, congratulations to you both, I enjoyed all stages on the route and overcoming many challenges. Looking forward to future adventures
Great ride Roy, we also thought we had gone of course when riding literally through farmers fields after York. i was on a road bike with 23c tyres as well ! 3 days is definitely the way to enjoy this route
Fabulous route Roy, well planned and executed👍Must have made such a difference having support. Look forward to your next mission..should you decide to accept it😃
Enjoyed watching this series of Way of the Roses Roy very enjoyable, what's next ?
Great video, It would probably take me a couple of days to leave York, would have to visit the NRM never been to York without going there, love trains especially Steam
Been to NRM a few times with the kids, fantastic place and well worth a visit.
Good to see some Bedfordshire cycle path standards at 0:21 🤨
Looks like a brilliant trip. Thanks for bringing us along.
Great Videos watched the full route I am doing it on 21st June 2 days stopping of in Boroughbridge for night watching video thought to myself what have I let myself in for lol.
Good luck! I hope you have good weather. Let us know how it goes.
A wonderful little series, Roy. Well done!!
Hoping to do this route next spring. Your videos are really informative and have spurred me on.
That’s good to know, thanks. It’s a really lovely route so I know you’ll love it.
@@RideWithRoy Hi Roy. It's nearly time! Leaving with daughter, son-in-law and a friend on 2nd June. What sort of average speed did you do over the 3 days and any more tips to help us through.
We normally average 12 mph to allow time for stopping. If we did it again we would probably take 4 days to allow for more sightseeing. But other than that it's a great route with huge contrasts in scenery. Have a great time and we wish you tailwinds and sunshine. Please let us know how you get on.
@@RideWithRoy Hi Roy. Completed the ride and had a fabulous time despite a broken chain on day one and horizontal rain on day two. Your "essential items to carry" video was priceless. Was able to repair the chain and carry on. We all found the hardest section was from Appletreewick to Brimham Rocks but still manageable (even for a 75 year old). Thanks for all your videos and safe riding.
@user-di9ns7ep8p That’s great to hear, Steve, and I’m glad the tools tip helped. It’s a truly beautiful route and you’ve proved that age is no barrier to completing it. Now the question is - where next?😀
Congratulations on another great video, Roy - looks like a beautiful trip, glad you both enjoyed it so much. You mentioned being on your 'gravel bike', but I thought your gravel bike was your Ribble, so was that your new Tempest?
Yes, on the Tempest which is also gravel. I rarely ride the Ribble in the summer.
Awesome both of you. Great series and ride 🚴♀️🚴🏼♂️🙌🏻
Loved this series Roy, the way of the roses is on our list like so many routes. I had thought we would have managed to fit it in this year as a mini break but as usual circumstances conspired against us, next year maybe. I have to ask how are you recording Wendy and your voice, they sound so clear compared to the usual muffled gopro footage we end up with.
I’m pleased you noticed the sound, Graham. I invested in radio microphones, so your comment vindicates the purchase. The range is pretty good although some strange cutting out occurred when under tunnels. I do hope you get to make this trip.
congratulations you two.... very impressive feat of enjoyment （⌒▽⌒）
Wonderful video in my neck of the woods, did you enjoy Millington? Brutal at the best of times.
Not sure enjoy is the word I would choose 😀
We enjoy all your videos and your 3 Way of the Roses videos have been particularly interesting as we live in Yorkshire and you have been riding very familiar territory. How did you cope with charging your ebike battery en route? We both have similar Fazua drive systems which are really good and when on tour we can take our batteries off the bikes and charge them in hotel bedrooms.
Thanks, Kathleen. I rode my non electric Tempest, so all 'me powered' 😃
Are you riding your titanium bike?
Yes, Kevin. Riding that all the time now. Love it!
Sir need suggestion, i cycle 30 miles daily in my MTB (26inch) cycle. Thinking to upgrade so i can achieve 50 miles daily. Confused between hybrid and road bike. Between Kona splice and triban 500 or polygon strattos S2. I stay in village where roads are not good. What do u suggest as i never ride road. Or suggest some other bike budget below 800$. I am from India
Hello, Rohanl, thanks for your question. I don’t know the models you mention but if you are not riding roads a gravel bike will give you strength and ride comfort as well as lighter weight to help with distance. I would go for minimum 35mm tubeless tyres if you can get them as since using these I have been very impressed. These will help give a more comfortable ride due to the lower tyre pressure you apply. The Triban comes tubeless ready and I believe you can fit up to 38mm tyres. The key elements I would be considering are frame strength and weight. I can vouch for the RC500 on rough surfaces. The roads in India sound as bad as some in the UK 😀
@@RideWithRoy thanks for the quick response and thanks for the suggestions this clears my doubt. And i like all your videos
