Hello Matt, I need to watch the video back for the crop marks and thanks once again for your fab comments. To be honest it's hard to remember the videos that I have made at times but I try my best with out any sponsorship or endorsements ( If you know what I mean) there are other UA-cam channels out there who cycle along these exact same lanes who get tens of thousands of views and will not reply to their viewers. Take care my friend ...
That brings back some great memories. I come from Skipton and miss cycling in Yorkshire and the Pennines. I'm now out here in Thailand, touring making vids, so not all bad! It's never cold and I can't even remember the last time I need to wear more than a T-Shirt and worry about my core temperatures. Great video and so pleased I stumbled across your channel.
Skipton to Thailand ! That's a big change biking 360. We've needed some layers on recently I can tell you that . I get out to Skipton and all the usual haunts, like Grassington, Hellifield, Kettlewell etc. I love it around there. God's country as they say.
Thank you so much David. It's been a tough few months with the weather but when there is a break in between it's great to get out and film a local ride.
Hiya Daz, I think your videos are great and they go from strength to strength. Some more amazing aerial shots which must have taken a lot of time and effort. Your love of the outdoors in the middle of winter is truly inspiring. However, I cringe at the thought of ice on the road hammering downhill at those speeds in the dark. Best wishes and keep keep the vids coming.
Thanks Nick. I will keep trying to make the videos as interesting as possible. The main advantage of solo riding at the moment is that I can take my time to get the shots. When I'm out with the lads I just haven't got the time to do stuff like this.
Thanks JB I really appreciate your comments. I have 4 more cycling videos to edit at the moment ( they are coming thick and fast with the nice weather ) so be sure to stay tuned. If you see us out on the road be sure to give us a shout out !
Thanks once again William, I don't think the images really did the climbs justice, Some of these are in your face and I'm glad the bike has a nice low gear set up.
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures Yeah the camera always seems iron the climbs out doesn't it, you could only see how steep they are from a side on shot but the airpin's tell the story. You know what Daz a low gear is never waisted.
That farm has been on a few TV programs Chris and there are some cracking off road trails all around here. They do a lot of MTB events all over these moors too. Thanks for the comments pal.
Not been expecting to see you out on a bike with the temperature so low , I just find it's bad enough with all the winter crap from pot holes and mud being washed over the roads not going out with the risk of ice as well. I think your videos are so entertaining and informative they are brilliant , cheers
Hey cheers Brian that's really positive to hear and thank you. The whole idea of the winter bike is for it to take some abuse from the horrible road conditions out there. I have to give it a thorough clean every weekend and spray it down with GT85. The weather has been shocking recently and keeping the feet warn has been a challenge to say the least but now more so than ever, it's important to keep focused on your physical and mental well-being.
3:59 that ice around a blind corner was a bit of a clench moment 😬🙂 and kudos for the videography again, you deliver a continuity and flow between shots, including the aerial footage, rather than just joining random b-roll together along the route 👍
Glad you enjoyed it NOMA and thanks for the reply, there was a lot of ice about on this one and at one point I considered turning back. I could do to find a neat little compact rucksack next to transport the drone about with me on these rides but all in all it's great fun just seeing what you can capture and then somehow edit it all back at home a few days later.
Will try out that ride sometime in the summer, not been out since late December. Had no care cover for 5 weeks now, getting stir crazy. I think you have to know the roads like the back of your hand to take them like you for, nice one Daz.
Cheers Alan, it's a great place to explore and you will love it over there. A bit of local knowledge will help because the steep sections gets the bike up to speed quicker than you want at times.
Thanks 👍 Wayne, No group rides for the time being so it gives me a chance to do the solo rides with the drone which takes a lot more time to set up. I don't think the guys would have the patience to to hang around for the shots but I'm enjoying making them.
Thanks for the great feedback Moto. There were moments where the drone was hovering for a pretty long time whilst I cycled away from the scene to get the shot. I could have cycled about 60 miles on this day rather than the 25 but I enjoy making the videos.
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures Look forward to it mate😊 Not getting out much myself at moment with the weather.... tried Zwift and it’s not for me ... hopefully won’t be long until the weather turns and start getting out regularly again 🤞
I don't do Zwift pal and I can't get my head around how people can clock up miles on Strava with it. I can cycle 25 miles on the road in January and if I'm lucky average 15 mph. It can be 12mph on a really bad day. The Zwifers can do 25 in about 50 minutes but I know they can't do that pace at all in real life on the road. Don't get me wrong, it certainly develops fitness and may actually improve your power n' all that jazz, but winter miles are hard earned and can't be compared side by side to indoor riding ( in my opinion ). Haha you've got me started now !
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures went out yesterday... hill repeats ... 8 miles 2000 feet climbing.... got soaked head wind up the hill .... strangely enjoyable .... certainly better than Zwift.
Good footage Daz, must be hard work with the drone too, it's not easy getting the miles in this time of year, not sure if you know but cobbled corner at chipping is now permanently closed, we were there yesterday, farm shop across is open though and very friendly, keep the videos coming 👍👍
Oh ! thanks for sharing the story pal. I went out today and it was really wet n' cold with snow. I'm at 960 miles for 2021 and they're all outdoor miles. It's been a tough winter so far. Spring is on it's way though and the nights are a bit lighter now...
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures racking the miles up there, you're 400 in front of me already, what's your target this year, yeah, hopefully spring will make things better for us all, fingers crossed for better weather and group rides once we start getting on top of the covid thing, stay safe 👍👍
@@escorthq5060 I'm not sure to be honest. I just want to keep focused through the next phase of the current pandemic and have some purpose about myself. The only trouble is when I start disappearing to the river searching for gold. That means no riding for a day or two. But best of luck buddy over the coming months.
Yes I know what you mean there pal. It's all about keeping a good rythm and these pokey hills with the head winds can drain you. The next video looks interesting but I haven't started on it yet. It just takes a lot of time to set the drone up and ride in and out of the shot.
Hey Ste I did this ride again the other week but then headed out over to that bridge above the M62 near Scammonden res. It was a wet cold ride for sure but I remember when we went over that way in one of them high powered Toyotas years ago. ( After a pizza and mega bowl night out)
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures God I'd forgotten about our old bowling days, then some food in that place nextdoor. Lol. Not seen any of the lads for ages. Need to fix that when we can!!!
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures yeah, great bunch of lads. What a ball we have had over the years. I remember when you use to turn up athe shef on that green lotus bike. What a bit of kit that was back then.
A up Daz, my mum and nan used to say put wood inth ole. They weren't from your neck of the woods though. Great video again stay safe an keep em coming!!
I used to work with a bloke from Bolton and all engineers from Switzerland who came over thought he was from another country because of his strong dialect. Stay safe too.
Hi, Daz, just enjoyed my virtual sprint with you over that fabulous country side, was wondering how you are faring with this not so glorious weather, although you are sporting some lovely rosy cheeks, it seems like a hundred years since I was in your neck of the woods (not on cycle) I vividly remember an encounter with a very steep ‘Switchback’ that appeared as if by magic, I hadn’t a clue how I arrived at that point, I actually think I was lost, in those days my husband and myself just took off for the day and I still had my ‘L’ plates on, I always was ‘Crazy’ I did notice the good old ‘White House Pub’ on your way back! Strange thing I can’t ever remember meeting any cyclist 🚴♀️ probably a good thing with a crazy person on the loose! On saying that 65yrs.driving never one mishap!! thank you for the memories once again, take care, and happy cycling Daz, 👍😊👋
Thanks again for lovely memories there Bernice. It has been extremely cold recently and it does take it's toll on the extremities. It seems a shame at present to cycle past the White House pub and there's no lights on. It always looks cosy. Hope you are well and keeping the heating fired up through this cold spell.
Daz, a quick thank you, I know what you mean about the ‘White House’ we have a15th.century building in the grounds where I live. It was turned into a Hotel some years ago, but it now looks so sad and dejected, more like. Haunted Manor House! thanks again for your time, I think we all need our long john’s on as well as the heating! ❄️🥶⛄️👋 take care!
Hello Scott. They have been going a while have Kona and they stand out with there flashy paint job and decals. There's one thing for sure around these parts, and I'm sure you will know this n' that's hills pal, they are hard to avoid lol. We did a Cheshire ride today, omg 22mph and chatting in the group on them lovely flat roads ! Get in.
Hello daz hope your well. I'm having to put subtitles on as I carnt understand your accent 😂😂😂😂😂hey I just bought the gopro max 360 bit of a faf but for you cycling I think in 360 would look great buddy. It's probably about a twentyth the cost of one of your bikes. 😁 Anyway great video as always buddy. Stay safe. And put wood int hole lol
Excellent video, loving the drone shots 👍 I got a bit of road rash earlier this week, cycling around the inner road of Scammonden Dam, after I hit some black ice on a descent. Ouch!

Thanks for watching and hope you were ok after the tumble. It's been really icy recently. As for the comments I didn't remove them pal, sometimes UA-cam will filter things if they have links attached ? Not sure what happened there. I was sent a link last week of a descent in America which looked fantastic. I think it was called descents disciples .
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures it is, just expanded my allotment from half to full plot. I’m the highest plot on site but have a sea view across the bay. Every time I barrow it’s about 120 paces uphill. Keeping my legs in shape. Not long now till I’m riding.
I bet it's a good place to gather your thoughts too. My mate at work has an allotment and he talks about sheds all day lol. But yes , not long to go now for better days out on the bike.
Bike is looking good Daz..I noticed you swapped the Gatorskins for Duranos how would you compare the two? I unfortunately mis-geared on Clieves Hill and snapped the chain on my hybrid.. due to my wife looking after the kids the pandemic meaning a taxi was out the question, I had to freewheel downhill, use the wind pumping the suspension fork for momentum and using the bike as a big scooter for 8 miles back home 😩
Well ! I had a rear tyre sidewall blow out the other night, luckily it was half a mile from home so I limped home and found some old Duranos lurking in the corner of my shed. It did the trick for another few weeks before it too started to break down on the sidewalls with threads coming away from the rubber. I have since got some new Gators. This time of year riding a lot in the dark will hammer good tyres in half the time which is something you have to accept. I trust Gators but they are so tight to fit on the rim ! As for a snapped chain, I think we have all done that from time to time but at least you got home pal.
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures weird how the Gators wear at the sidewalls. I have a set less than a year old and one of the sidewalls has started fray. Emailed pictures to Wiggle and fair play to them, they refunded me the cost of the tyre as they had no stock.
That's not bad of them to do that John. The tread will usually outlast the sidewall. I like using Vittoria Rubino's but they are the opposite, the tread goes before the sidewall.
Hi there and thanks for asking, I've just got a few personal things to sort out before I get back to editing my next videos. All that I ask is that you stay tuned and stay safe. All the best buddy.
fantastic video and editing, the drone footage is cool. and noticed some brilliant crop marks towards end of video.
