    Loving the production, going back the for the pictures appreciate the effort. Gives a much better sense of the gradient and what’s going on.

    Well done Aky. You've really got the bit between your teeth with this 'climbs series '. This is something the other influencers have not so consistently. Your commentry always makes me laugh. All of this is top dollar.

    Chapeau fella. A good few years back, I rode up Kirkstone Pass and down the Struggle. That is one steep and brutal hill. Great video and commentary.

      Thanks for joining the channel, it was a nasty one but I always feel it’s because I can’t get warmed up properly. I did HardKnott pass afterwards and although had other excuses my legs were working properly.

      😮 Take care, take time, get well! Relatively little chance that erosion will take away the climbs before you return to health.
