Excellent engaging post. Thanks.

Handy for boot of car 👍🏻

nice little early Xmas present Dave 🚴 is that you on about 5 or 6 bikes now ? still got your Ribble ?

That does look a lot of fun and a useful little chore bike🚲😎👍🏻

Good little bike for the town and short runs. Handy for chucking in the car boot for a trip up a promenade somewhere. Anyhow see you next video. All the best. Take care. B. K.

verry nice post

Thanks for this Dave, living near Banks on your route here it’s great to watch another cyclists view of the area. We’re spoilt for choice around here. Have you looked at the Great North Trail ride at all? Some nice mostly gravelly type riding from the Pennines up into the north of Scotland.

convert it to a single speed

Bike packing in November, you're hardcore Dave!! You'll have to change your name to "Dave the deer spotter", looks like you were surrounded by them up there. Cracking video again matey. Look forward to the next one. Cheers, Paul 👍

November and still able to overnight out. Take care and see you again soon Dave

That's some cycle in mind Dave! Hats off to you. And always good to see you back in Kershope - me and Annie were camped up that way 2 weeks ago, other side of river to the bothy. It was miserable that night, and I don't just mean Annie's company 🙄😂 The cake box on your cycle in looked the biz, I'll have to try and remember that place for next time I'm up that way. And it's great to see deer bound across the road / tracks in front of you, they might recognise human footsteps, but they've no idea what bicycles are 😁 Ciao for now atb DVS :)

Nice one again Dave. Looking forward to seeing your trip with Ian and James.

Nice one Dave really enjoyed that there’s a cracking spot to camp near me train from Carlisle to Dumfries then it’s about 10 miles out Mersehead nature reserve got forest and a beach so really good also they leave bird hides unlocked and they’re out of way could easy bivvy down in one of them and stay dry not camped there yet but spent lots of time down there have a look mate be a great spot ATB Coops 👍🏻🚴🍻

Cheers Dave, really enjoyed that trip out, some nice country and villages. That cottage was a bit spooky though, don't think I'd have wandered down there! Glad you enjoyed the beer, well deserved after that trip. :-) Alan.

Great video Dave, looking forward to the next one when you're with Ian, where did you get your mudguards from?

Very good Dave as usual some nice trails and locations. Well done. Take care. B. K.

Great video Dave

I think Route 72 is probably my favourite cycle route. It's not a challenging route particularly but it's just hard enough to keep you interested. Nice video, cheers. P.S. if you're using the DJI Neo, get yourself the goggles. When you're not using them to fly you can use them to watch films in the tent off an SD card.

Brilliant Dave,great routes and gorgeous countryside, I do miss the British countryside.

i just love finding all the snickettes, ginnells, and backways too ...

Nice ride and video, is it weird without you mate Ian? Looking forward to the next one

You should try the Kershope head bothey, it's only a couple of miles from where you were camped, a wood stove & bunks. I know it's not really camping but would make an interesting video?

Another cracker Dave i remember you camped there before but how did you ever find that spot in the first place.

2 hobbies in one dave ⛺🚴 long nights on your own like but the firebox makes a massive difference 🔥 recognised the area at the start.liking the music on your vids.

Nice one Dave….I too love this season and yes the only downside are the longer darker hours. That scout hut/cottage had lots of crap weather shelter opportunities I noticed…..keep posting mucka One question though …..what are those front bar extensions you’ve got locked onto the handlebars as I’m researching ones for my cockpit. Cheers ….Bessie’s Ron

I always look forward to your videos , you don't have to do huge mileage to have a super adventure . Question what are he pannier bags you use

Nice video mate, those cycle routes look very appealing, lovely areas around you, having the fire at camp was great, caveman tv, catch you soon⛺️🚲👍🏻

Yeah the weather has been the same here (Mid Wales) for weeks. The sun did appear on Tuesday and I almost called the police!

Another good video. What tent do you use?

I tip my hat to you both after this day, horrible conditions

Update on my saga: GCU arrived today but I'm holding off on the update. WHY? I downloaded the file from MAHLE's website but the bike is now working OK...other than an odd "low battery" warning on the Pulsar One brain unit now and then. The app shows everything is OK and the bike shows 85% charge + the motor works fine. So why fix it if it ain't broke? The GCU is here along with the update file on thumb-drive, so if/when the bike stops working properly I'll try it then. Meanwhile, my wife has 2 X-35 bikes that have NEVER been updated but perform perfectly...so the last thing she wants is for them to be updated!

great vlog guys

nice.

Well done Dave and Ian great adventure let’s hope weathers better next time Atb COops 👍🏻👍🏻🚴🚴🍻🍻

thank you

Brilliant vid this. Made me want to be there with you guys, you both seem like genuine, decent blokes. Your tent looks pretty class, what make is it?

Great video. Superb route very enjoyable to watch, well done to you both.

Good video is that your brother.

Fantastic video Dave and Ian I’ve watched this trip three times. Those canal journeys and views take some beating. All the best. B. K

I wonder how many cyclists have ended up in the drink😆......nothing there to stop them if they had to swerve erratically for any reason on those narrow bike paths near the canals.

Great vid lads brilliant adventure

thank you

Are you going to keep the chain or replace it?

Beautiful route

great job like the tyres i leave mudguards on all the time.

Interesting stuff here thanks, though none of it worked for the bike I just took (brand new) out of the box. Have 4 other X35 bikes - two of those had to go to a dealer to get updated and have been fine since. The other 2 have never been a problem and since a dealer is far away from where they are (and this new one is) they've never been updated. But the brand-new one has the dreaded 193 error code so I either get to drag it off to dealer, send the bike back to the seller or buy the GCU and DIY it. Waiting for seller to weigh-in...maybe THEY should buy me a GCU cable? Otherwise both me and the wife LOVE Mahle systems. I have another bike here with X20...with its "smart" charger you can do the updates yourself via the phone app.
