Glad to hear you enjoyed it, hopefully as much as I enjoy putting the videos together. Yes, the climb was brutal, pretty much all centred on that 25% section - either side of it I was getting slowly by. Still need to press on and gain confidence out of the saddle! Lower rpm, hardly moving forward it's all about balance- you feel like your just going to stop on tbe spot and fall sideways!
Hi Liz, so how did you get on?! Tough right, I put my foot down on this sportive, but went up it again this year as part of a little get away from things and managed to keep on going. A real lung buster!
Ah this is an old but a goodie - Mow Cop! Yeah that climb is tough - been back since somewhere on the channel. A short, but satisfying climb. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for watching Chris my old mucker. Have to get a ride in some time - let me know if and when you fancy that 200km! Talking of which it's Lincolnshire's Bomber County audax this weekend :)
i was relaxing into the video enjoying the suffering on the climb, i had headphones on and when you beeped out the swearing i jumped so hard lol, great video
@@BikepackingAdventures Thanks Richard. I have a 34 - 30 on my Wilier so hopefully I'll be able to get up it in a month or two ( after a 33 year layoff ).
this banana finds them really useful, some of the best action i've shot that way. however, been a few months now that i've just been using a regular handheld one, the wrist one's keep breaking. the best thing about them is no risk of dropping them!

Great to see you riding on a lot of my home roads, Mow Cop, Biddulph Moor & bastard Hill 😀. The 'killer mile' up Mow Cop is seriously horrendous!
Yeah I think I walked it in this sportive. I've been back since fully loaded and some how managed to keep on pedaling.
That climb looked brutal... especially as it brought you to a stand still. Great rid, great video. Thanks for sharing.

Mmmmm, pork pies for mid-ride snacks! I love driving over Biddulph Moor when I visit my Mum-in-Law. Thanks for the video.
I am doing this race Sunday.. I have done killer mile a few times only once in July I rode it non stop.. Hope to again this time

Awesome effort Ricky. Mow Cop looks mental.

New sub to your channel. Those climbs looked tough!

Hehe sorry about that. Enjoying my suffering lol yeah definitely something to be gained from watching yourself back/watching how others try and cope.
You've earned a sub for your efforts ; - ) Just wondering what gearing you had there on Mow Cop. Oh and what camera do you use, thanks.
Most likely 11-28 as I was riding on my Cube. The camera is GoPro Hero 5 Black. Thanks for the sub. 👍

That car was like... "ZERO fucks given!" Love it. I hate cycle wankers!
what banana mounts camera on their wrist,oh yeah.....this guy!
