We had such a brilliant day in the Peak District following a classic loop that many mountain bikers will know and love.
Starting in Castleton, we rode up Mam Tor and headed over towards Hayfield before turning back on ourselves to descent the famous 'Jacobs Ladder' into Edale.
This route is filled with amazing descents and really rewarding views.
Castleton has a number of cafes for a post ride brew too.
Hope you enjoy!

Great vid dude .what's your link to Strava I've rode Jacobs before but fancy hitting a few of these you rode here .I've got a feiyutech gimbal aswell ,or did untill it went all weird and started shaking . apparently a issue they have.have you had any problems with yours mate?

@OriginalCyclist 2 года назад

Hey dude, thanks for the comment. I now use a hero 10, so have stopped using the gimbal. I do use other gimbals for work and they usually shake when they're not balanced. Try sliding the arms so it balances without being on.

Great storytelling and editing, you definitely deserve more subs! I actually make MTB videos too so check them out if you want🤙

@OriginalCyclist 5 лет назад

Digging and Riding amazing. Thanks for the kind words. I will!

@MTB_Derbyshire 5 лет назад

Do your brakes work? 😂 Great riding, knowing those trails well your distain for rocks is bordering on the psychotic. Interesting how you took the ridiculously narrow left hand high line down rushup edge. Roych clough afterwards is always a treat. 👍

@OriginalCyclist 5 лет назад

Hahahha. The brakes were down to their very last bit of material so pulling back to the bar. Made it a bit more interesting!! To be honest, it has been years and years since I rode that route so we were both riding blind hence many of my line choices can be a bit questionable 😂. Hope you enjoyed it though!

Is this route on trailforks? Love to download for my Garmin

Have you considered a gravel bike? 🤣🙈😱

You've obviously not subscribed to the channel! Plenty of gravel action to be had ;-)

Great vid mate looks a fantastic route do you have the route on Strava or similar or know where I can get it ?

@OriginalCyclist 3 года назад

I don't to hand, but have a look at routes like this which are a similar area pedalnorth.com/hope-valley-mtb/

@grahamalderson5048 4 года назад

Love that loop, do it at least once a year, i noticed you dont mention the freeking horrible climbs..... all worth it for the awesome descents though... Top channel by the way.

@OriginalCyclist 4 года назад

Graham Alderson 🤣 yeah. Whenever I look back at footage of me climbing I think “who the hell wants to see a middle age bloke our breath?”

Original Cyclist I'm 55 so definitely don't want to see me out of breath and throwing up🤮🤣.... It's changed since I first rode it in my 20s though....

@mtbanytime8490 5 лет назад

Nice video. I never know what to leave in or take out of my vids. Don't suppose you have a route map of this loop??? Say on strava or view ranger?

@OriginalCyclist 5 лет назад

Hi Dave. It is a tough one to not make videos too long and boring. I could watch the whole 3 hours back!! I keep my Strava private, but if you pause the beginning of the video you should be able to make out the route quite easily

@mtbanytime8490 5 лет назад

@@OriginalCyclist cheers I'll see what I can map out.

@TURPINTHEDIVER 7 месяцев назад

Hi Daft question i know but do you start castleton towards blue John or castleton towards Edale ? Thanks in advance

@OriginalCyclist 7 месяцев назад

The map at 31 seconds will show you. We headed towards Mam Tor to start. So clockwise on that loop

@TURPINTHEDIVER 7 месяцев назад

Cheers going to give it a go in few weeks 👍

@fatyowls 6 месяцев назад

Do you know I've spent hours in the peaks biking , whether it be on the road or mountain biking. That was 20 years ago. I have an ebike now and lets me do the mile like i used to do. Almost 60 years old and it allows me to enjoy the hills up and down like I was only 40 again.

@OriginalCyclist 5 месяцев назад

Good on ya! Gotta keep fighting, even if it is on an e-bike. Enjoy!

@xXKWEWANXxGAMING_ 2 года назад

i wanna give this route a go you think my bike would survive its a SISKIU D7 classed as a downcountry bike its 29" and 120mm front but its really aggressive geometry

@OriginalCyclist 2 года назад

Go for it, that sounds perfect

@avgnfannn 3 года назад

Did this exact ride today on the strength of this video. Absolutely brilliant, amazing decents but the climbs are pretty horrible!

@OriginalCyclist 3 года назад

That's awesome! Arrr so jealous. And yeah, climbs aren't the easiest but well worth it! Thanks so much for letting me know 👍

@shaunoneill1218 3 года назад

Great video, I'm just planning my first few peak mtb rides now, we're you able to stay on bridleways the whole time or are people happy to ride on footpaths? I'm just trying to figure out where I can and can't go!

@OriginalCyclist 3 года назад

Thanks Shaun. Yeah pretty much all of that was bridleways. There was a section where we are carrying our bikes over the stiles which is a footpath. The bridleway was just to our left on the other side of a drystone wall 😂. You should be ok

@HenchmanSPARTA 4 года назад

Did this in reverse while backpacking the other weekend. Great fun but soooo much climbing!

@OriginalCyclist 4 года назад

Yeah that would be tough in reverse!

@arunallen1277 4 года назад

They should have bike friendly gates along some of the paths for cyclists.

@OriginalCyclist 4 года назад

I think there was a section we hit the footpath rather than the bridleway which would explain us having to carry the bikes. That's an error on my behalf to be fair. Keeps you buff too 💪😂

@nothinghqppened5519 3 года назад

The thing is It would be so cool to ride them and it would be easy to get to them (because i live in sheffield) but its just too advanced for me :/

@OriginalCyclist 3 года назад

Start small, slowly build. It is purely years and years of riding and having fun that gets you there. I took a load of novice riders around this area a few years back and they managed to ride almost all of it. You can always walk the tricky bits.

@howardjones8629 4 года назад

Oh mate that was so nice to watch! Used to ride that (but in the opposite direction for some reason) in the late 80s, but not quite as fast as you 🙂 👍

@OriginalCyclist 4 года назад

Thanks dude. I've just uploaded a new one where we ride it in the opposite direction. I found it tough up Jacobs ladder 🤪

@johngould3724 3 года назад

I was about to say the same but in the 1990s. It was quite a day for a bunch of flatlanders! There was a half decent chippy at the start too iirc. I seem to remember thinking afterwards that a rigid wasn't the best idea.I was shall we say, a little beaten up at the end, and significantly slower than everyone else.
