Thanks, Matt. They reckon it'll be built up and ready mid-January. Can't wait to get some rides in and introduce the new wheels. Have a great New Year!
Hi Martin great to see you in action again and yes you get cold very fast once you stop riding . Don’t beat yourself up about your channel you’re doing a great job and I look forward to your visits all the time. Your mannerisms,editing, advice , and bike craft is quality and as a newby it’s all good. There are plenty of other similar channels but most don’t cut it so well done . I have just managed to round off a chocolate rear axel bolt which is now going to cost me £24.00 bike wasn’t cheap but this is the standard of equipment these days …Good luck with the new bike K2 next? 😂😂😂👌🎥🚴♂️
Thanks, RB! Appreciate the nice feedback and we'll keep rolling the camera next year for sure. Hope you get the new bolt sorted and back out on the road. I'm rather glad my climbing/mountaineering days are behind me - a bike ride out to base camp would probably be fun though! 😉
@@onemorecyclist your welcome just managed to get the axel bolt out as the other side has the same fitment to receive the key and I have put it back in so the new one will come in handy for a spare . Still misty fog here but I am surprised how cold it is ..Catch you soon best Mike .🚴♂️
Thanks for sharing a nice video taking in my local area as well , hope the new year and new bike is going to be an exciting time for you and the Chanel, thanks again 👍
Thanks, Brian. It's a very nice part of the world to ride a bike in! Although I hadn't quite realised how much uphill there would be getting back to Bradford from Wakefield! Have a good New Year!
Thank you for your brilliant content. I look forward with great anticipation for your future efforts in 2025. Happy Christmas and New Year. Keep up the fantastic work! Truly thankful!
Merry Christmas to you fella and all your viewers. Looking forward to seeing and learning more about your latest acquisition. Best wishes for 2025 and as always keep up the good work 👍🏼
@@onemorecyclist I hope that you like your new bike mate - fabulous decision that will propel you through 2025. Personally I need to kick myself in the backside and get back in some sort of "training" (totally out of it since mid-November)
I hope your RTW or U.S. trip happens mate. Both trips of a lifetime, that's for sure. Is your new bike a custom build? Im going to guess a Titanium drop bar bike lol Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.👍
Cheers, Dal. Merry Christmas and have a great New Year. Lots would need to fall into place for those trips to happen but I'm definitely adopting the 'never say never' approach. Titanium drop bar ... damn it, that's another bike I'd love to own now! 😉
Hahaha ... positively rolling in it from the Tube royalties. Watch out for the new S-Works and selling you Squarespace every other video in '25! 😉 ... Have a great NY, Andrew!
I'd detected a few new-bike-twitches over the past couple of months! It'll be interesting to see what you end up with. The Transpennine upgrade closure claims two more victims. I'm beginning to wonder if that connecting route to the canal will ever reopen. All the best with ride-projects great and small.
Thanks, Gordon. Yes that old n+1 feeling was running strong in the last half of the year. We noticed the TP closure sign after doubling back - hilarious that they put the closure date but no indication whatsoever how long or when it would reopen. All part of the fun! Ditto, looking forward to all your 2025 channel projects! 🙂
The Big One..wow, hope it happens for you. Alas I'd like to send you a chrissy present of some local sunshine and warmth but not possible. We got 42 celcius a few days ago, can still go cycling, just got to get up early. Bike Trekking with Karl is a newish youtuber around Manchester who enjoys a little inter-reaction with his subscribers too. Anyway sounds like 2025 is sounding positive with new bike. Catch ya Randell
Cheers, Randel. Wow, 42 degrees! Hard to fathom over here at the moment! I guess you're in 'get out early and back by mid morning' territory. Nice way to get a jump on the day though! Happy cycling (and thanks again for sending your question over!) 🙂
I wish you a great cycling 2025. I hear what you say about pumping out new videos, UA-cam is a greedy beast and keeping a clear idea why you started the channel is a sound idea. I followed one UA-camr who made interesting videos. He then started putting out 1 or 2 each week. The content wasn't as good and contained too many product endorsements. The final turn off was making a subscription section where you got early access or bonus footage. After that I stopped watching. Intrigued with the new bike, can't have too many although I've only got two. I had a doctors appointment first thing today. It's just above freezing and very misty so I decided not to have a ride. As usual seeing you out riding made me get on the bike, only 10 miles but ended up with really cold hands and feet. Am I glad I went? You bet I am! Thanks for some lovely rides and some interesting subjects about cycling throughout the year.
Thanks so much for following along this year, Colin and kudos for getting out today! I'm sure it's a minefield if you actually tried YouTubing as any kind of serious income or career option. So many ways to get 'blown off course' I'm sure. Hope you have a great New Year and start to '25. 🙂
Hi Martin, really enjoying the channel, but couldn't help noticing the guitar in the background. I'm learning (very slowly) to play. Not cycling related, but just wondering what you played.
Thanks, Chris. I've always had a few instruments knocking around the house since doing an initial music degree back in the 90s (ex trombone player). The guitar is a Sigma OOOM-15 from about 2005. I had a clear out of guitars earlier this year as they weren't getting played much but couldn't part with this one as it's great for 5-10 minute noodling now and again and has such a nice sound (sustain for days)! Good luck with the guitar practice, picking up an instrument is such a great thing to do! A good teacher makes a huge difference too! What guitar do you play?
Thanks for replying, Martin. My guitar is an Epiphone SG. I'm trying to play mainly AC/DC stuff as I've listened to them for years. I tried lessons, but I found the pace of learning too fast for me. I was using all my spare time to practice what I was given, so I could do it for the next lesson. ( I had no time to ride my bike). So now I just learn at my own pace from UA-cam videos. Thanks again Martin, wishing you and your family a Happy New Year.
I hope you keep doing videos of your local area too. It's fairly local for me too and gives me ideas for new routes and stunning vistas.
Wishing you all the best for 2025. Good with your new bike and don't feel pressured to make videos. Do what you want and enjoy your passion. Jay
Happy New year and keep up the good work and stay on that bike haha.
You did it again, the perfect music and video combo.
Thanks again.
Thanks, Frank. Have a great New Year! 🙂
Looking forward to seeing you're new bikes great video 📹
