Great video. I ride alone this seems perfect for me to do. An explore without much biking knowledge of the area and nothing too hairy that I'll come a cropper
I’m sure you’ll love the route. I’m way too old to risk a fall and I would happily ride the route again by myself - the only bit I hadn’t previously ridden was the Coniston up Walna Scar and down to Torver bit hence why I dragged Andy along just in case but it wasn’t as rough as I had anticipated!
How have you found the switch from a hardtail to a full suspension bike? Is it now more enjoyable to do these rides ....thinking of making the change myself but was wondering what your thoughts were on this.
Full suspension for me is a more comfortable ride over rougher ground and it seems to travel over the bumpier stuff with ease and makes me feel a lot more confident tackling stoney tracks. At times my head might say “I can’t do this” but the bike has other ideas and before I know it I’m over the problem! I just have to trust the bikes ability! I am a senior, novice rider so not got a lot of experience but just love the full suspension and wish we’d gone straight for them instead of hardtails. Hope this helps.
@@cumbriane-biketrails7944 thanks for the reply...will bite the bullet, take the loss on sale of my hardtail and go full suspension...enjoy your videos and as i have the komoot app will try some of them out...like you prefer non technical scenic routes in the Lake District
Thank you for asking! Tbh it’s been a difficult 12 months as husband is not well. However, around his ongoing treatment we have done a number of rides which I’ll strive to edit and upload soon. I think the Parkamoor route is probably the one to look out for …. absolutely a cracker of a route high above Coniston.
Another great vidio🙂
Cheers

Hi.Have you stopped posting your e bike cycling adventures ? It's been a while since you took your followers around the lovely Lakes.

Would love to know what’s silly about techy routes!
🙂Perhaps wrong choice of word .... was speaking from my perspective as a senior rider meaning unsuitable for my own age & ability!
