Spreading Festive Cheer With Belper Bicycle Club!
Last weekend I joined Belper Bicycle Club on their annual Santa Ride. The excitement of the riders, local residents, and drivers out on the roads was phenomenal! I absolutely loved it and I think this comes out in the video! The event raised £856 for Hope For Belper, a local group providing both a Food Bank and Community Hub. I'd like to say a huge thank you to the Devonshire Pub, for providing free tea and coffee at the start; along with the Spotted Cow in Holbrook for opening early with breakfast baps; and last but not least, The Holly Bush in Makeney for welcoming us at the end.
It was an incredible experience. Well done to everybody!

IT WAS BONKERS! Llyn Brenig UCI Gravel World Series 2024
Просмотров 1,6 тыс.3 месяца назад
Here's my video about the recent Llyn Brenig UCI gravel race, organised by Glorious Gravel. The course was 111kms long with roughly 2000ms of climbing. The course was great, but atrocious weather conditions made the whole event a challenge, particularly for those with the later start times, i.e me lol ! Don't be put off! Sometimes things happen and allow us to find out what we're really 'made o...
Is the Sonder Sedona Your Next Gravel Crusher? Six Months Review!
Просмотров 1,3 тыс.4 месяца назад
Six months on, do I love this bike? Well clearly I do, because it suits my style of riding and enables me to do the things I love. I have a couple of gravel races planned and this bike is ideal for this. The rider's position on the bike is similar to that of a cross or road bike. It's versatility 'hits so many buttons.' If you prefer to carry more kit and cover more distance, take a look at the...
Hope is Not Enough! Sonder Gravel Round Hathersage
Просмотров 1,3 тыс.5 месяцев назад
Before I go into the fine details I just want to say that this is a stunning, exciting route. It has easy bits, it has hard bits but I absolutely loved it! It's a challenging 43 miles long with 4875ft of climbing. Clearly it does require a reasonable level of fitness and good off-road skills. I rode round on 40mm tyres, despite it having a few short sections of very rough terrain. If you're in ...

North South Traverse of the Peaks during Storm Kathleen! - 60@60! Gravel.
Просмотров 1,1 тыс.9 месяцев назад
To celebrate my birthday, I decided to set myself a challenge. I have spent a large part of my life racing in circles, so I came up with the idea of doing something completely different. I got a train to Sheffield from my hometown and came up with a gravel/ small road route which visited 5 favourite places in the Peak District. 60 miles later I'd be back home in Belper, hence 60 at 60 ! Well, m...

Fab review Julie, very helpful, thank you!
You are so welcome!
another great video julie how long did the ride take
@chriswain8627 Good question! I normally say round about 10 miles pr hour but obviously it depends on the terrain . It's difficult for me to say exactly because when I film a route I have to add on an extra 1.5 - 2hrs for faffing with a tripod etc
Here for the Tellytubbies 🙌
FANTASTIC! Wow, wat a turn out..that looked great fun FANTASTIC! Merry Xmas Julie, 2u and the Editor..bless u both, take care..oh and have a FANTASTIC new year!😂

@dunkwilsable he said he'd look for it if you couldn't find it. How kind is he? You've brought him up wel 😊
Julie, merry xmas. I think you have a light fetish😂 Happy trails.
I have the RockBros top tube bag and its fantastic and I can get my iPhone 11 in no problem and a snack spare battery for my GoPro so the size is deceptive. Some good ideas for Crimbo take care Julie and see you again soon
@@GrahamWP58 like you I love my top tube bag. It’s the place I put all the things I don’t know what to do with - keys, glasses …. Thanks so much for your support Graham. You take care and I’ll see you soon.
I like that contraption that you can fasten a torch to your handlebars..hmmm..think I might give myself one of those for xmas! Merry Xmas 2u and the editor! Take care Julie!😊
@@timporter8886 go on,treat yourself lol ! Merry Christmas to you too, from both of us. Take care and don’t do anything I wouldn’t do :-))))
@@JuliePhelanExplore 🤣
The climb up to black rocks is brutal have to be fit to get up there. Well done 👏
Lol ! Bet you were warm once you got to the top. You could start at Middleton Top instead .
Loved the ride but not the mention 😂🤣
Lol ! It was a shame. Lovely to meet you
@@JeremyCoulson-t9e sorry 😞

That looked such an amazing ride..a hundred miles you say? And you all had something left in the tank to race for cake!🤣 Brilliant post as usual Julie, loads of friendly folk, and did I mention how well it was edited😉!? Take care😊
This one was only 34 miles . It was fab. You'd have loved it. The editor says cheers .Have fun. One life....
Julie, coffee, cake and new friends…what’s not to like?
Absolutely . I realised I havent done enough of that. Thanks Tim
That looks like a fab event😊
It was amazing
@JuliePhelanExplore nice to see a friendly relaxed ride, where people don't think they're in a race🙄
Great video Julie! And great to meet you!
@@Downhillsmoothtarmac yeah you too. Thank you .Thanks for the stickers
As always a pleasure riding with you and taking you round our local trails.
@@ericwilcock3239 thank you . Always a pleasure to talk endlessly …….. on and on…….. lol
Was a brilliant ride couldn’t keep up with you guys though
Very helpful, down to earth, enjoyable review. Have you ever ridden the Sonder Colibri endurance bike?
@richardnainggolan1056 thanks Richard. No I haven't.
Riding on a day like that in such beautiful scenery is like taking a huge deep breath in and out, makes you feel alive😊
@@lisawooldridge5449 absolutely
@lisawooldridge5449 absolute ly. It recharges the soul eh? Cheers Lisa
It’s slight uphill from Ashbourne if it’s warm at the bottom don’t be fooled it’ll be cold at the top
Glad you are back, can relate to the being off the bike feeling. I sneezed and did a hamstring and a bit of buttock, painful and off three weeks hoping to be back out next week but so frustrating and no natural calming fix of nature.
@@Grandadgreyhair omg how can sneezing do that much damage lol ? Fingers crossed for a speedy recovery . Yep not being able to do what you want sends you nuts lol ! Take care
@ I was sort of bent and twisted plus things were a bit tight from a ride, massive sneezing fit and the straw that broke the camels back. After the crazy things I still ride hard to credit something so mundane can do damage. Anyway osteopath is confident I will be okay, just trying to make sure I get really sorted before building up over a few weeks.
Good plan. Dont blow it now !@@Grandadgreyhair
I rode high peak this year from cromford . Was really windy, seemed like head winds out and in. Jesus theres 3 steep hills going up from cromford.
@@grumpy-dad3701 lol ! Great descents coming back though ! :-))))
@JuliePhelanExplore hell yeh.
There's a longer route if you start in Hurdlow, the car park. Also, head towards the outskirts of Ashbourne then towards Carsington and do the full loop. It's going in the opposite direction. There's also Manifold that has gravel. I ride it from home and it's about 70 mile. Twenty mile of road is to pick up the first gravel at Great Longstone on to the Monsall Trail. More road to get to Hurdlow. It's just the way it is if you want to ride a lot of gravel in a day.
A great video I'm glad you're well and back on the bike , I did this route with A bit extra 2years ago starting at parsley hey down the tissington trail to Ashbourne then back to tissington station ,Carsington ,Upton then high peak back to parsley hey . I met some great people along the way
@@walterberry8703 thanks Walter. It’s a fantastic area eh? Thanks for commenting . It’s great for the group .
I will be pinching this for a Xmas fat burner ride, cheers Julie, great video as always and hats off to the editor.
Thank you . If I'm around I'll join you. The editor says cheers.
Love the little bike earrings! Great ride for recovery by the sounds of it. Fabulous scenery. Thanks for sharing it.
@@penny6658 you are most welcome :-) Sometimes I wear them to school and the kids have noticed that occasionally they do a wheelie lol ! I love that !
Good to see you back. Perfect ride for my wife, Claire & me as she's getting back after a fractured collar bone (doing some Srrade Bianche in Tuscany! )
@@jonathangreen7111 thanks . The perfect ride. Please send my best wishes for a speedy recovery.
Love your videos Julie. Love all three trails in my area, Tissington, High Peak and Manifold.
@@richardegan1290 they are great , I agree. How lucky are we especially when everywhere else is really muddy. I’m in Belper , how about you, if you don’t mind me asking ?
@ I’m in Leek. Although I never achieved your level in competitive cycle sport, I fondly remember the Polaris Challenge, both as a competitor and a marshal. Good days.
Great video. Love your use of b-roll.... keeps things moving, and interesting too. I do a bit on the Tissington Trail, as it's just up the road from me.
A good question at the start of the video. What does cycling mean to me? It's playful exploring. A chance to connect with the landscape, our heritage and community. All the time while enjoying as much exercise and challenge as you like, in the fresh air and nature. Cycling is quick enough to see plenty and have some excitement while not so fast as to divorce you from your surroundings. Rarely fails to put a smile on my face and that seems to be the case for you too.
@@BrightAireClive absolutely. Thanks for contributing Clive.
Hi Julie, your videos have spurred me down to the White Peak. I stayed at Youlgrave a few weeks ago and combined bits of these trails with others across from Youlgrave and Middleton and then Long Dale on my mtb . I also combined Long Dale with Gratton Dale which was mud and punture city! What a great area. Thanks.
@@davidshinn6501 heh that’s great ! I love Long Dale . As for Gratton Dale, well you only do it once lol Have fun David.
Julie, love the thumbnail style. I’m off to bike pack the Munda Biddi Trail. It’s a 1070 km trail in the SW of Western Australia. Munda Biddi translates to ‘path through the forest’ in the indigenous Noongar language spoken in that area. Wish me luck😅
@@timgearing5121 wow that sounds amazing. Have a fantastic time . Glad you like the thumb. It’s just something different. Have fun and best of luck.
Great video Julie. I rode this same route back in June, I remember the hill back towards Tissington!! 🤣
@@chrishepburn5251 thank you. Steeper than I remember lol
Really appreciate you posting these routes. I love riding the HPT in particular, I’ll give this one a whirl soon
@@dh7314 you are most welcome. I also love the HPT . It’s my gateway into the Peaks. Sometimes I almost take it for granted then last weekend it hit me how amazing it is. See ya on the trail ! Say hi !
