Very well done and a great video! On Saturday I did a C2C2C audax, 305km total. Creswell to Bowness on Solway and back. I found it hard! I came in last in 18 hours total. I had lots of breaks and was somewhat slower than you My rear end was very raw too! Take care and keep pedalling 😂
@@Ruggles_Rides thanks mate it was tough in a few spots but just a long day out otherwise! There are 2 C2C events next year a week apart in June again so might get signed up
Well played! I did the opposite the other week from Whitby to Whitehaven, Wrynose destroyed me after all those hours but I found Hardknott much easier East to West..took the Ribble 653 steely with an 8 speed cassette..never again. Hope to do the same route as you in spring, with the R5 this time..
@@theyorkshirewheeler Cheers! I hit Wrynose at 9pm, 1.5hr behind schedule due to a flat and wisely decided to buy a new tyre in Hawes..it’s something else Wrynose and Hardknott in the pitch black! I recommend it 👍 Happy cycling pal
Oh the memories of hardknott are flooding back haha. Alot of videos don't seem to capture the steepness of it whereas this 1 certainly did. What camera mount were you using for the descents? My footage is just too bumpy having the go pro attached under the head unit
The nightmare lives on ey?! 😛 Recently sold my GoPro and got a DJI Osmo Action 4. I use it in the mouth piece for a few clips and for under the handlebars I have a K-Edge out front dual mount so it has a Wahoo/Garmin on top and a typical action cam / light mount for underneath. Double check you have the right settings for GoPro, Hypersmooth with tight cropping - I think it's called?
@@theyorkshirewheeler will check those settings. That's 1 thing I haven't done! Was thinking it was the headset on the bike, even played around with tyre pressures lol. But I reckon the mouth mount a better view especially seeing above the hedges!
@@neilgreenfield6414 i used the gopro once on the handlebars on top and found vibrations made the camera angle tilt a fair bit. defo check the settings and even a cheap mouth piece mount from Temu or aliexpress will do, then you have the luxury of using a mouth view or holding it in various other angles during a ride
I think a big bunch in the facebook group(s) are keen to try do it around the same time each year as it goes. Looks easy enough if planning regular feed stops at villages tbh
I rode to seascale to the start line from Doncaster.. so went over wynrose and hardknott both ways that day. Definitely sketchy at 3am in the rain and dark though.. wouldnt recommend it 🤣👍
Ahh I saw your post about the left crank coming off? You’re an absolute madman! My backside was in bits even 7-8 hours into the ride I don’t know how you did it. Chapeau!

Well done mate, that’s a mental achievement you should be proud 💪🏻 hope the recovery and backside repair is going ok 😆
Mega effort mate. You should be really proud to complete that. Amazing edit as well mate really well out together ;-)
Thanks a bunch for the feedback and some pointers on this one 🤗
Well done, brought back good memories when I did it. Chapeau!!
Cheers Steve 🙌🏻
Amazing effort bud. Great video. Well bloody done
Thanks pal hope you are keeping well!
5:00 Beautiful view❤
The scenery there is breath taking. So hard to take it all in sometimes, stunning place!
Fantastic effort mate well done, 15 mins up hard knott then ride coast 2 coast unreal effort 👌 😊
Thanks so much, next time I will aim for sub 15 if the surface is dry 😆
@@theyorkshirewheeler I was thinking that, probably could nick off a bit on dry, must of been a nightmare doing the 35% bit wet 😊
machine .. well done up Hardknott
Thanks mate!
Great video mate, you made that ride look easy

That’s some going well done pal. I’m so glad I took an 11-34 for that event as it helped massively!

Glad you got it done. It would have been so easy to just sack it off when the original event was cancelled.
Yep exactly! I'd have destroyed myself with FOMO forever if I didn't do it!

Good effort. Great shame about Sportive but hope someone can take in the organising of the route as it’s mega popular
