    Great to see a video on the routes I often ride and suffer :) Next time maybe include Goytt valley and Cat and the fiddle.
    P.S. I am guilty of doing it the past but apparently you are not supposed to throw banana peals in the hedges.

    I'm Looking to dive into the world of gravel ultra distance around Europe... recently got back into cycling seriously since i was a little lad racing in the UK. No idea where to start and how to do this, so a very weak plan at the moment - just a dream. Any tips ? - would be amazingly appreciated! :) Much love! Keep up the great work!

      Just go out and enjoy exploring, thats the biggest thing. Take the pressure away :)

    I would say the Lakes is the best place to cycle but I’m biased 😊 in the peaks in a few weeks though. I know a lot just go past that fence even GCN did

      Yeah I have heard that now. Didn't know that though and also feels bad when it clearly says it's closed and don't cross

    Your mate did alright in the end, after that dire prediction of blowing up after 30k. Good way to spend the solstice though, pretty views from up there. Thanks for the doggo at the end, funny little mutant he was and so glad to be reunited.

    That looked a pretty savage day out, think Alex would want all the food after that.

    GCN, cam Jeffers and others have ridden up that climb when it's been closed. great effort but you chickened out on that climb lol

    • @ChrisHallRides
      @ChrisHallRides  3 місяці тому +12

      Thanks for the info. It’s closed for a reason and we discussed that it’s probably not wise to when there’s roadworks happening on it at the moment. We checked. Also nothing wrong with changing plans. It’s not chickening out as you put it. Do what you want, ride what you like but don’t cuss others for their choices

      @@ChrisHallRides it's all good I wasn't cussing you out as you put it I was just making a joke as I dont know anyone that would even try that climb at 35%. Change is good on a ride your right its all adaptive thats the world we live in.
