Cracking vid! Very informative 👍 I love how much you love where you live!
Nice one. Well done on the time. My first Fred this year and came in at 9:19. Heck of a day and I agree re Marshals…they were all amazing
Cheers, really pleased with it. The support is incredible
As Fred said "A good effort" I've done the event 5 times, 2015 to 2018, then in 2022. For 2019 & 2021 due to injuries & lack of fitness I marshalled on the car parking at Grasmere instead. Gave it a miss this year due to health issues, but fingers crossed I'll be back on the Fred next year!
Maybe see you there!
@@CycletheNation Hope so!
Well done Scott! I am currently psyching myself up for the event this year. Watching my video from my last official attempt in 2018, and when I rode one my own in 2019 and then your 2023 one. Not long now. Cheers Scott.
Good luck! Gimme a shout if you see me there on either day, I'll be filming for the documentary I'm making about it. Next year for me
Fantastic video, great filming and narration and wow what a very tough route it was. Well done to you and all riders😊
Impressive mate, great grafting
Awesome video and even more awesome dedication. Great time!!
“Hay up” Scott
Great to see you out on the road. Lot of respect for your footage! I need a 100% concentration to keep moving forwards never mind pointing a camera and commentary. Great coverage and reflection of a day in the lakes. If you put your camera in your back pocket you’ll be sub seven! Thanks for posting
Thanks, it means a lot. Watch this space!
Awesome documentary of the ride! The support from the roadside is amazing
Saw your flag at Whinlatter. Great footage and so glad you were happy with your time. Amazing support and another best day ever.
Just discovering your channel, and I really enjoy your videos. As an aspiring cyclist, your really inspiring me. And I just want to say that there is a lot of crap out there on the internet, and it is rare to find a kind and genuine person, and your content is a breath of fresh air. Thanks a lot!
That's a lovely thing to say, thank you!
The guy at 25:26 also has a UA-cam channel. Super nice guy and a very strong rider. Well done Scott with a cracking time. Hope the weather is as nice this year
You mean Aki? He's ace.
Yeah ive rode with him a couple of times. He's a strong rider and super nice guy. @@CycletheNation
This is superb, Scott. Good to see you on hardknott, and good to see you looking so strong
Epic to see you up there Roger!
Brilliant Well done great effort
Chapeau fella 👏👏
Well done Scott. Definitely stronger than you were last year.
Well done and nice to meet you 😊
Cheers Erik, good to meet you too
Brilliant video and a fantastic effort...sub 8 hours is awesome!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks! There's talk of big things next year...
@@CycletheNation Keep the videos coming….I live in Winster so enjoy the local routes 👍🏻
@@stevestowe1110 that's a lovely area to live! Aiming to get the subscription numbers higher, up to 80% of the viewers aren't. Getting to 1000 would start helping to make a big difference to being able to fundraise more
Well done
Nice one Scott, been waiting for you to put this up, fantastic effort 😊
Just wish the 4k was processed quicker!
@@CycletheNation hi mate what I usually do on mine is set them to private until the 4K has processed then release them 😊
@@LakeDistrictcyclist ditto. Was just keen to get this published on Monday!
Ooo what's the adjustable Allen key
Great effort. was a good day. Saw you on saturday at the registration but didn't want to bother you.
You'd have been most welcome for a chat! How did you get on?
@@CycletheNation Yeah, should have said hello, next time! I completed it with no walking which was the aim, so will take that. My Dad spotted himself waiting for me at the finish line at the end of your video. He asked if I wanted his autograph 😂Learned a lot about myself and riding so that will be very useful if I ever decide do it again, maybe next year🤦♂🙂
Great video 👊 what gearing did you use?
Ended up not changing. 52-36 / 30/11
@@CycletheNation Good to know 👍🏻 I was riding 28/11 on the back & the same up from last weekend & it was tough going! so may try and swap it out for a 30 or 32, it’s never going to be easy though 👊👍🏻
@@warwickgooch yeah I had a 28/11 last year, but with a compact (50/34) on the front. Basically exactly the same 'granny' gear but better for higher speeds.
@@CycletheNationhi , i got same ratio 52/36-11/30 still thinking is that’s good enough or go 11-32 but not sure that is much of the help haha.
Any advice?
thanks
@@rytisstanevicius4592 that all depends on how much power you can hold, for how long, after 95 miles. I'm probably above average (last year's result would back that up) but I simply couldn't stay on the bike on the very steep (25%+) for an extended time at that part of the day
