Winter Gravel Grovel - Peak District Gravel 

Love seeing these local rides Julie. I'm building a list ...for the spring and summer :)

That was such a fantastic vid, and a real nice loop… thank you for the mention, :) x

Wonderful looking route.

Thank you for another great route Julie 🙏 😊

I love following your blogs your enthusiasm is brilliant

Great post as always! Iv probably said this b4, but it makes me laugh out loud how you can cycle and narrate your posts, even whilst cycling up steep hills. I've pencilled the 17th in my diary, despite being a little apprehensive, as I'm not even on the same planet as yourself regarding level of fitness!🤯 I understand how frustrating it must be for you having such lovely channel and for some reason (I don't understand why) it doesn't have the subscribers/support it should have. But be patient, it's a smashing channel and folk will find you, I'm sure! Your background in professional cycling must have equipped you with a lot of knowledge around training, preparation for events/races/tours..could you utilize any of that!? Nutrition is a big thing when preparing for challenges of any kind, as you know. Are there any companies you could get to sponsor episodes for you to try out their gels or hydration products over an endurance ride or two. Equipment choices? You've done a couple of good posts on bike computers. You're personal over nighter stuff, what about some more of those, they were great! Have you thought about doing some more bikepacking themed rides? Bikepacking is really popular. I know from other channels I follow, that they often change the titles. Rather than just bikepacking, they'd say something like, Bikepacking in the Helm Compact 1. And in that way the algorithm would attract folk looking @that tent/whatever equipment you mentioned as well?! Folk have noticed that certain posts get more views when they play with the title and include specific products. It's about researching popular products. One post commented how the views doubled (due to algorithms) because they mentioned their Durston tent, which sells like hot cakes, and a different post the same thing happened when they used a Hilliberg tent. Even if you borrow equipment that's popular and mention it in the title..worth a try? I definitely think you should put..blah, blah route on Sonder Camino Ti..that would activate the algorithm in your favour! If it were myself, I would mention it every ride, and if you alternate your bikes, one ride Sonder, another..whatever brand of Mountain Bike you have, then you need to mention them to differentiate which you're using!? Perhaps, also some of the knowledge that you perhaps don't realise that us beginners/inexperienced riders would love to know/learn!?!? Even elements of your professional career/experience as a rider of multi-disciplines. Why you've settled into gravel bikes as opposed to mountain bikes. Perhaps do routes on different bikes (so you can mention them in the title)and see which is quicker? Set up a leader board for guest riders/subscribers (like Top Gear)riding a specific route!? Challenge riders you know, or guest riders from other channels, to ride the opposite direction on a circular route. You'll cross paths at some point, but who will make it back to the start first? That would be fun! Hope that I'm not patronizing you, as you've probably thought of all of these things and more. Just trying to inspire you, as you do for those of us that enjoy your channel. You have a wealth of knowledge and experience that I feel would draw folk in more quickly if they would only be guided to your channel. Take care Julie, and as always, lookin forwards to your next post!😊

Hi Julie, hope you don't mind me asking but what bike computer are you using please? Many thanks 😊

Put the 17th on the calendar, looking forward to it 🚲

❤my favourite place the peak district. Cycled the trails quite a lot but you make me w t too saddle up once again

Saving this one for a future ride! Cheers me Dears!

Rode up the bye- way from Rowsley the other day it was a bit sticky and very wet in place but a great climb and worth it for the views. Bell helps but not all hear them. Great ride Julie.
