Love those types of rocky bouldery descents, there's a lot like that on the Moors behind Guisborough where you just gotta get low, stay loose and let the bike do its thing and move around underneath you while you hold on for dear life, favourite type of descent for sure!
yeah same. bigger the rocks the better. took a while though to trust the bike and just let it do its thing
Given the wind on that day you've done really well with the audio as we could still here your great commentary without that horrible wind noise (After almost 2yrs of videoing I'm still working on it 😁😁) . Looking forward to 2023 rides 👍
That's an easy one mate. I'll let you in on my audio secrets. Media mod and rode go professional lab mic. But shhh. don't tell anyone
@@TrailFinder I've been doing a lot of research recently and have had them sat in my basket for a good few weeks now but keep holding back on the 'go to checkout' option 😁.
Luv this. Yorkshire commentary whilst living in a far off land makes me nostalgic for real chat. Lovely footage and banter
cheers Peter. where you living now?
@@TrailFinder Living in Oman. Different trails here- you don't get wet!
We like so much this kind of ride! Good mountainbiking!
Thank you. You cannot beat getting out into the country side for an XC ride
Looks like my sort of ride that, love rocky descents, good imformative vid of the route.
thanks becky. its such a good ride even though its only 6 miles. its got it all. Highly recommend
''Hike a bike fitness''. For me it's more like ''half dead and deeply pondering my life choices''😄. Great ride, as always.
Ha HA. that's funny mate. yeah hike a bike is a killer. but some of the best trails are from a bike carry. I was pretty good at it last year. I got up grizedale pike in one go. struggled to get up this little climb though!!
Think I mentioned before that I'd ridden up there (so long ago I had a cube LTD XC hardtail, must have been at least 8 years ago). Family holiday but set off early for a ride. I'd planned on doing the full "Kettlewell Killer" from the pedalnorth website. That proved how tough some of the climbs were as I ended up not doing the final section, which is basically this in reverse. Not liking unfinished business, a couple of days later I did it. Looking at the video I reckon this way looks better. As you said, only 6 miles but from experience, bloody tough climbs. Still, no need for an ebike. PS literally 10 yards before where you started recording is where we stayed. Loved Kettlewell....ought to go back at some point. Great video Andy 👍
Thanks mate. yeah Kettlewell and surrounding area is a lovely part of the Yorkshire dales. but brutal on a bike. bit far for you to go for a 6 mile ride. but if you are in the area its worth a go
You pick some fabulous rides, really inspiring. 👍
its a great ride pat. go do it mate
Nice ride , can’t wait to get back up there at the end of feb
enjoy mate. its a really nice part of the dales. although very tough on a bike
Belter :) Are you still using the 1030 edge Andy ? if so hows it faired ?
Thanks mate. Yeah the Garmin does it’s job well. And the battery life is amazing
@@TrailFinder cheers Andy that looks like my replacement getting ordered . Do you have os maps loaded on it?
@@docspuddin no just the map what comes with it. Don’t feel it’s needed when I’ve already loaded a route into it.
Not a good loop this found it boring tbf
Yeah get where your coming from. My ride buddy has an ebike. And he gets bored of a lot of rides I take him on, no challenge
The FULL Moor End descent is an absolute belter.. starts at w3w ///admiral.inspected.capers
Can do it via Buckden - Birks Fell, then along the ridge path and down to Kettlewell.. makes an awesome evening ride in summer!
thanks for the tip Robert. ill take a look at that route suggestion
