Just found your channel and already watched half a dozen. Great info on the rides, as lots of cycling on U-tube is not very informative about the areas which are ridden, unlike yours. Great stuff with lots of varied content especially the North Wales fishing.
Thanks so much for your feedback Sam. I love the great outdoors and try to share my experiences as they unfold, I tend not to talk to the camera about a load of nonsense about my personal life and just focus on the important stuff, in this case a bloody steep hill with a wicked descent. Cheers pal.
Thanks Sophie, it's a big part of what I'm all about as a person and how I get through life. It's not always an up hill struggle and we're never coasting lol.
@@sophiescyclingandwalkingch4294 Hi Sophie, hopefully I will be back at it making some more videos soon and I'm looking forward to riding my drop handle bar bikes in the next few weeks once the weather settles down. Good to hear that your bike is ready for an outing too. I love my new / old hybrid but there's just no speed in it what so ever.
Fabulous road trip Daz, looked a real strenuous ride, you are a master at manoeuvring round obstacles and tight bends, enjoyed the fantastic views, o.k. the mini bike is looking a bit tame, but I am now energised had my coffee, so off I go! long john’s an all. 🥶🤗
Ha.ha. You might expect it, sorry to disappoint, 9.30. about five miles, had to stop off for more refreshment! not mentioning the long johns! still freezing 🥶 though! 🤗😊👋
Lol , when you were showing the wee graph of the climb, and just how steep it was . I got lactic acid building up in my legs just watching . And when you were actually going up it , my chest started burning🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 .
This is a really steep road ! I cycled up the road that leads to the Top Brink this week and it was just that wee bit too damp and my back wheel started to spin out. You gotta love Todmorden for it's hills
Epic climb is that out of town , great drone shots thanks for the uploads and glad to hear your ok pal & lately I’ve been doing night rides and really enjoyed them
Cheers William, I've been wanting to film this one for a while now . It's super steep and quite a daunting hill to take on , I hope it inspires others to get out up here and see what the climbs are really like. All the best from this side of the Pennines.
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures I,m sure some people will be thinking of having a go after watching your video. I might have a go myself if I could loose a few years like 20, but it doesn't stop me enjoying your vid, so keep up the good work and take extra care. All the best from a windy as usual Anglesey.
Thanks 👍Matt, they take a bit of time to actually make when you are out on bike ride because of the stop starting to get each shot in but I'm enjoying the creative side of trying to tell the story.
Might try that climb, when I can get out again, did a local loop with a total of 24 miles, still waiting for lockdown to end. Nice to see you out and about, that looked very hard, stunning views, keep safe out their Daz.
Make sure it's dry Alan because it's that steep ! 24 miles is good going for this time of year. A few rides like that each week and you will keep the fitness levels up.
Certainly looks a great climb Daz, and a crazy descent in those conditions. Brilliant editing and drone footage gives a really good perspective of the Todmorden area. Managed to get out and do 70 plus miler yesterday towards Bolsover and found some beautiful new lanes and climbs. Cheers
70 miles is great going for February Mark. The Todmorden and Hebden Bridge areas offer some fantastic climbing in a relatively small area. Appreciate your comments too and thanks for watching.
Thanks for dropping by DJ Robbo. I used to get the free mini bus up here from Tod to Sourhall nigh club years ago. What a cracking night out but always a long walk back down here because there were hardly any taxis.
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures nice1 dont know the clubs only started going up about 2000 just for a beer ... that hill would kill me on my old racer 42 26 now.... drone shot looks great the grassland into moorland
@@djrobbo3929 The night club was where the cattle grid was. But with a 42 /26 set up you should be ok so long as you don't over cook it early on . There are some good old pubs and some great cycling lanes around here for sure.
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures that sounds mad a night club on the moors?.....will need to train up a bit before attempting that i reckon im used to mtb gears rite now
@@djrobbo3929 It used to have top cabaret bands on in it's day. I remember leaving there having had one too many and going flying on the ice. There's some cracking MTB trails off here to that take you across to Lee Quarry trail centre and the extreme Havok bike park too. ( not for me that one )
There are several ways to navigate over this hill David including a few MTB routes. I bet if you did them all you would climb about 5000ft easily. It's a really steep one for sure and with ice on the road I wouldn't want to go flying off down the 20% sections.
Your descent looked great! I have a few questions - these may come off as ignorant but I have never really cycled outside London so trying to understand how things work in the Pennines. 1. Is the surface generally acceptable for a road bike? In some places it looked pretty rough and you mentioned the same in one of your older videos as well. 2. How aggressive are the drivers? There seems to be a lot of open roads but they're narrow - in London too many close passes has always been a big issue. 3. Are the roads always that open or is it because of the lockdown + weather?
There are some fantastic road surfaces in this area and like many other places you will find ridiculous potholes. I think Rochdale council was recognised for it's swift response to reports of potholes recently. The car drivers in general are not like impatient city dwellers but you will always get the odd Knob head who will drive way to close to you but that is the peril of cycling. All the roads continue to be open too. There haven't been any check points on the roads I cycle and the same with my mates too. Hope this helps
Thanks for watching Jay, it's been a bit milder recently and the lighter nights are getting nearer and nearer. Cycling is a great way to keep your self motivated at the moment and a 40k ride is just the ticket.
I would love a fancy bike just not paying for one😁It's an early Peugeot 80's bike and it's standing me £80 with new tyres,pads and chain but I'm enjoying it ,you could be to blame for getting me on the saddle with your videos 😅👍🏻
@@What..a..shambles Ha ha thanks, I used to have a blue Peugeot premier back in the 80's and would look in the local bike shop at the next models up , dreaming . It's a great sport is cycling and hope you keep on riding.
