Thank you. Tbh wasn’t sure about uploading this, but decided to as thought it may be helpful to others . The video clearly shows the severity of the terrain in places and might help potential riders (senior or otherwise 🤣) to decide if it’s for them or not!
Well done, you certainly chose a great day ! Excellent film quality - GoPro ? Have ridden up the right hand side of the valley past Skiddaw house, Mosedale etc but not the Crags so thanks for showing what that section is like. You'll be up Skiddaw next !
🙂 Thank you. Use GoPro 10 but helped weather was so good! 🤣 Not up Skiddaw but I have the ‘Back of Skiddaw’ route planned for next spring when, hopefully, the ground will be drier! 👏
Thank you. I’ll maybe tackle your suggestion one day but all it really takes is time/research, our local knowledge (we are Cumbrians), Komoot, OS maps etc and picking son-in-laws brains (experienced local, extreme mountain biker) as to what route NOT suitable for our ability and senior age! I tend to walk any section of a route I’m not sure about as some bridleways just not rideable by us and e-bikes are not light even with walk assist! 🤣
Awesome video. You had amazing weather, exactly type of route I’m happy with. Nothing more technical. Out of interest, a couple of questions regarding your bike set up, if I may. What’s the small device attached to the top tube ? I note on the newer cube you are using your phone for navigation as the bikes don’t come with their own display. Do you prefer this or the dedicated cycle display. I’m so scared phone would get damaged and that’s also the communication device lost. I do however like the bigger screen. What’s your opinion.
Thank you, really pleased you enjoyed the video. The device is the GoPro remote as I find this the easiest way to set GoPro off (voice control not reliable and sometimes tricky finding button on the Gopro when riding!) The bike came with a Kiox 300 display but as I need to wear glasses (variable lens) to ride I found the display too small to read and much prefer the larger, more detailed map the flow app provides on the iPhone. The map is the main thing I use the display for and when riding a new route I find the Kiox 300 route display a tad too basic for my liking. I note that Bosch now do a larger Kiox 500 so maybe that display will be easier to read (it’s just an age thing for me! 🙂). I use the Bosch phone holder which I find to be really secure ….. it attaches to the bike display holder and allows the phone to charge and you can still move between different display screens to view ride info. This system works well for me and phone has not once fallen off but 🤷♀️🤞🏻.
Thanks for the reply., really appreciate you taking the time to do so. I’m not a go pro user so didn’t recognise the device but this makes complete sense. I also wear glasses so understand the need for a descent screen. I love the routes you are doing and I’m hoping to get down soon to ride some of these. Keep up the brilliant videos Thanks. Hugh
👍Thank you. I use the Bosch iPhone holder which attaches to the bike display holder letting the phone charge as well as getting ride info from the bike. Has been a secure method for me (so far 🤞🏻)
@cumbriane-biketrails7944 thank you, I'll look into it. My wife (60) has just got her first ebike and your videos are a great inspiration for her. I normally ride slightly more technical stuff, but it has been really good riding together and watching her confidence grow!
That looked a great ride with great weather as well
Going to give that a go hopefully soon if weather stops raining lol
Well done 👍
Thanks 👍
Great video of that route and well done on riding that more technical terrain.

Hi love you videos, and rides, have you thought about doing a video on how exactly you plan and set up your rides

That looks a lot tougher than your normal rides, well done!!! Your phone mount looks very secure, may I ask what type it is?
