Hi Adam. I try keep my vids around the 15min mark. But like you say sometimes that is so hard to do especially when trying to tell a little story and the scenery is so nice. It’s hard to edit stuff out. You have to be ruthless sometimes. Had 3 hrs of footage on this ride. Cut down to 22 mins
All cameras are terrible with no form of wind cover. Think about recording separately and syncing in post. Extra work. But you can see the end result with my vids. Well worth it
I relate to this completely, because I ride mostly on my own, I've set a on the hour reminder on my Garmin to remind me to eat as I always forget to or think, I'll just get up this climb first...& before I know it, I'm running out of fuel. Going to do this route this afternoon (1/2 day off). Thanks for the .gpx file
@@TrailFinder really enjoyed it Andy. Only marred by wicked headwind on rocky lane climb back from furthest point out. I loved the little loop off to the left & that great single track. Would have taken me hours longer had I had to navigate with a map so thanks again for the .gpx route
Fantastic video as always mate, the singletrack on that additional loop looked like it made it worthwhile on it's own, never mind anything else. Thanks for the shout out, greatly appreciated. I know where you were sat though... 😂
As always thanks for the kind words mate. I put a link to your channel in the description. Hopefully a few people click through to you. Every little helps 😁
Great vid this Andy 👌🏼 Hope you dont mind me asking your advice. As a Yorkshire Dales virgin, I am deciding which ride would be the best introduction to Dales riding. The two I have in mind is this one and your tour of Pen-y-ghent on July 13, 2019. Keep the great vids coming 👍🏼 Cheers Gary
When you responded to me last about the drone footage, I was actually in the Hope valley! Got there early 8.30 What a ride well worth the 2.5 hour journey from Woburn , did the 24 mile KOMOOT loop Heyfield / jacobs ladder beast ride , finished up with fish and chips in Castletown. Loads of riders out lots of great chats with folk ! Loved it got some footage as well !
That Deviate I’ve got so much to say about it . So smooth over the Rocks, to be able to leap into any gear with out pedalling is genuinely a game changer. But all the ebike questions about it , a just brilliant!
Woburn eh? I used to go to Woburn Sands a fair bit when I lived in Oxford. Really fun place to ride (and I always rated it far higher than the much hyped Chicksands) 👍
That dude summed up gravel riding perfectly. It doesn’t replace MTB, it just increases the range you can go on mild off road routes. MTB will always be my preferred type of riding but I love doing epic gravel rides too. I recommend one hugely. It would expand your channel massively too.
I’m very interested I must say. Ribble cycles do some cracking one. Also been looking at extremely light xc hard tails. Love the Scott scale RC. As a fitness bike and long distance.
@@TrailFinder it’s a tough call between an xc bike and gravel bike. I went for the gravel bike as I also use it for commuting to work(road,canal,gravel route) and it’s brilliant for that. Riding drop bars also makes mundane trails gnarly again 😂 I really miss the dropper though. I might get one for the gravel bike someday . Ultimately I think that if you think you’d be riding a fair bit of road to link up the off road sections, I’d go gravel. However, If you’re mostly riding off road, an xc MTB is probably the way to go.
Absolutely everything around the dales is rideable on a decent hardtail and still pretty much as fast on the road sections , you'd struggle on a gravel bike on lots of the gnarly bits.
Some lovely trails in this one, i agree with you, cross country rides are my favourite, i like them technical too, great video mate, this is/was TheGibMTB, (I've changed my channel name) 😃👍
Nice vid as always 👍 Those racer bars are lovely, just to small, nice snack though. That’s my sort of terrain and trails, nothing around here though ( Tamworth ). 😞
Thanks Alan. When it comes to racer bars I usually have the whole packet. 😂😂 Bummer not having any decent riding local. I’m extremely lucky having the dales /moors and lakes with in an hours drive
Hi Paul. I sure did. And they worked. As you saw. Did 31.5 miles. And still felt good at the end. So important to eat regular on rides. Which I never do until now
Andy please understand eating bananas and shrimps🤣does not feed ya muscles for long rides mate you need real sugars and carbs, with plenty electrolytes n fluids mate 😊👍❤️
