When things don't go to plan is when life gets more interesting, you can experience things you might have missed or thought you might never enjoy. Great video as always.
WIse words indeed, when I've looked back at this on the proof watch, I realised how much fun I ended up having, just because I adapted. Thanks for watching! 😁
Lovely sir , ive had two changes of plans after visiting that pub 😀 on my very first bike packing adventure with my pal at the ripe old age of 14 something like 34 yrs ago now we rode from Todmorden pitched our tents up then made our way to the pub to get some food ! We bumped into some friends of my dads who was staying there ! They introduced us too the delights of real ale 🍺 anyway after falling off bicycles at least 10 times before leaving the carpark in huge fits of laughter turned a bit for the worst after tent spins and vomiting with no zip to escape was found ! We didn't cycle far that day and infact made a sos call for a lift home boo ! And im almost sure many years later that pub use to do mini music festivals , which ended up in joining some adrenaline junkies for a midnight bridge swinging off Ribblehead viaduct only to get got by the transport police after some railway workers dobbed us in ha x
Thank you! Pubs have a funny way of changing your plans eh?! What a coincidence that you bumped into your dads friends! Real ale and riding bikes is great fun, but I can't imagine being sick in a tent would have been that much fun. Sounds like you had a great start to bike packing, if not a little boisterous, hehe! Thanks for watching ✌🏼
Part of me wants to cycle these roads so much...they're so beautiful. The other part of me notices just how rainy and cold they look. I guess it's the price you pay to live life to the full. Hats off to you Allen.
Thank you ☺️ I’m sure I won’t be. Very tempted to create a route there solely to stay in the bunk house and have a few more beers 🍻 thanks for watching, means a lot.
Just the content I have been searching for. Thumbs up and have subscribed to watch all the past videos. I am getting back into this in retirement so this is perfect info.
Loved watching this Allen, I know every road you rode on. Brought back lots of memories of my road club days. Bowland Knotts is quite a climb! Had some good times in the Station as well.
@@davidcoomber4050 Thank you so much! Really happy you liked it. This was an important ride for myself, really helped me deal with expectations :-) thank you again.
Brilliant vlog! I've bored you before (or maybe Barry) about my great great grandfather being maintenance engineer on the Viaduct after its opening but also my great grandmother was a barmaid in the Station Inn at the same time. Nowt to do with me but that small corner of Yorkshire is always in my heart. PS My brand new Bolt V2 has gone walkabout in the past but since updates seems OK.
Hey! That's not boring at all, family history is lovely! Yorkshire is one of my most favorite places. I will have to try updating the Wahoo and hope for the best. It started to make me think that I may need to carry a spare! Thank you for watching 😄
A great video Allen and it’s so true what you say. Your video popped up on my feed and I thought “hang on, I know that name!” And I do. We follow each other on Strava ( I’m Flying Pig) and I occasionally pop into your shop. You’ve earned yourself a new subscriber and keep the videos coming as they’re ace! 👌
Thank you!! I’m happy that you like the footage :) Thanks for subscribing too, hopefully there will be a couple of vids this year all being well! May even bump into you out there! :D
Great video, its always been a good pub that! Im plucking up the courage to do a multi-day tour myself this year. A dull question but when you're own your own what do you do with the bike and all your gear, like while you're in the pub? Leave it all outside and hope for the best?
Hi! In this video I used some wet lube. This was because I’d ran out of my normal lube which is Smoove LubeI - I’ve since bought more and it’s been delivered this week. It’s really good actually, seams to last a long time if installed correctly.
Yeah. Same here. However I’ve developed quite a bad tooth wear on my grx 1by chainring 🙄 possibly due to dryish running conditions. Therefore I’ve been considering swapping for some oily lube
@@ragleytrigadventures7422 Smoove was hard to purchase as their UK distributor went kaput, but I’ve used that for a lot of long stuff. If you use their chin degreaser and install on every link the day before you ride - it lasts ages. You still need to reapply occasionally.
@@AllenBoardmanI stripped my chain with three washes using petroleum, degreaser and methylated spirit at the end so the chain was spotless before applying smoove. Where I ride (hilly) I mainly use biggest cogs so the chain is constantly bent to the max which I suspect causes heavy hainring wear on the outside. I invested in wolftooth 38t oval chainring and developed same issue after a while ☹️
@@ragleytrigadventures7422 ah no! I think maybe stuff doesn’t last quite as long as it used to :( until recently I had Box Prime 9 speed, but I switched to SRAM whilst I’m waiting for the new box stuff to come out. Thinner chains + mud = sad times.
Loved this video, I was out in the Forest of Bowland last weekend and was going the opposite way on some of the early roads in your vid (ruclips.net/video/V63WlFZsyhs/видео.html). Really is stunning there. Hoping to venture into the dales later on in the year, this just makes me want to even more.
That’s some perfect lunch time watching right there! Thanks for sharing, I’ll have a watch! I adore the Dales. I can’t believe it took the Dales Divide to wake me up to it! Thanks for watching!

They really were nice to cycle on. I’ve done my time on a road bike and only ridden a couple of what I rode on this trip. Thanks for watching!
Another interesting trip Yorkshire is just lovely, great video
Hi, it was just that wasn’t it! Thank you for watching though!
Love it mate. I agree with every word you said. You're not the first to be sucked in by the hospitality of the Station Inn and you won't be the last!

Nice guy great attitude, well done great ride 👏

Hi, thank you for watching! Glad you liked it.
Got to love English pub quiz nights.
You and me both! Thanks for watching.
That was great! Looked like a really enjoyable bike trip.
Hi! Thank you, it eventually became very fun indeed! Thanks for watching!
Wonderful
Thank you! ☺️
Great film, beautifully shot! Surprisingly local to me too, so I've got some inspiration for my next trip now :D

Love that area, me and Christine of in June with the caravan so probably get a few shirt rudes in
It’s wonderful isn’t it! Thanks for having a watch ☺️
Beautiful and no threat of predatory animals like here in my state
Thank you! Yeah, no chance of anything dangerous like that over this way.

I live in hope, plus use a tiny but visible combination Hiplok.
Thank you for watching! It's a good question, I left it in the bunkhouse and locked the door. :)
Just go with the flow, plans just destroy the natural rhythm.
Wise words. Thanks for watching!
Nicely put.
What chain lube do you use? Thanks

So many static camera shots.. You had to go back too many times, hope you not too tired.
I think I rode twice as far 🤣
