I did this climb, not in a race, on my Brompton in Feb 2020. My notes in Strava say it needs an expletive between the words "the" and "struggle". Feet went down, so I still don't consider this one fully 'completed'. Rare these videos bring out the gradient, but while I was going about 3rd of the speed, brings back the memory of the pain, conditions. Awesome race effort and kudos on bringing out the climb and atmosphere in those conditions in the video. It proper type2 fun. The way the weather changes over the event, pure Lake District! Captured great! Thanks! (and whoever that was on hand-bike, MASSIVE respect... would fear for my gentle hands shaking their hand).
In the grand scheme of things it’s not so bad if you take your time, it’s that kicker at the end with me already pushing max heart rate before I got to it 🤣
Simply fantastic - I loved watching this so much! Even if I wasn't a huge fan of cycling before, I would be now :) Bravo to yourself for the ride and the brilliant video - thank you so much for posting!
Yes Geoff, what an inspiration you are. I really wanted to film you in the carpark for the video but realised the young lady was doing the same and I didn’t want to tread on her toes. Hope you enjoyed the day I can only imagine the crown as you made your way up. What’s next for you?
Mental the correct word lol,well done,its the taking part that matters maybe next year you will be on that podium,tin tins noise just as bad as my Tinnitus in party mode lol.Very Well Done.😃👍
@@RobinDS-m1g i really appreciate the feedback, a lot of people don’t realise how much work goes in to it. Sometimes I can be editing for weeks because I’m not happy with it. This one I was up all night and took the day off work to get it out on time 🤣
Perfectly understandable to be gutted but yeah not even acknowledging him is poor, let alone not shaking his hand. Is there something in this or is it being read into too much?
I'm sorry... I love winning and hate losing. They both seem like decent fellas on camera, but that showed true colours. Always win with class and lose with dignity
Great effort pal & what a crazy atmosphere there was there. Plus what a legend Andrew Feather is (rumour has it it's all down to how much carbon fibre he gets in his diet & he drills holes in his toenails to cut weight). 😂
Nice work mate, not even started my video yet! 😂😂😂 As I say, gimme a shout about the Fred next year if you're in, a good chance there's a free bed for you here
What a fantastic edit, you managed to capture the atmosphere of the event.
It was absolutely mental 🤣

That was quite emotional with the crowd at the top. Really inspiring mate. Cracking effort, already looking forward to next year.
Wow!! What a great crowd helping to get every ounce of effort out of every rider 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Amazing event and great experience but awful at the same time 🤣
Simply fantastic - I loved watching this so much! Even if I wasn't a huge fan of cycling before, I would be now :) Bravo to yourself for the ride and the brilliant video - thank you so much for posting!
Thanks for getting in touch, it was a spectacle that’s for sure. Horrendously fun and then delight in encouraging others to get up the hill 🤣
Loved that , totally bonkers atmosphere , great effort !!
🤣🤣 absolutely nuts
Amazing- winner,2,3 and time at the end thanks.
What an effort ...normally its hard to gauge the pain of an effort by watching but this just looks absolutely brutal ... honestly hats off to you
I was cooked from the first 5 mins 🤣
WOW amazing Aky, Chapeau to you all, great video captured the atmosphere wonderfully, like the Tour de France Alple du Zwift 💪💪💪👏👏👏🚴♂️👍
Our pleasure!
Superb video mate - and a cracking effort on the day from you. You really captured the finish line atmosphere with this too. Nice job.
Thanks for watching pal 👍
Bless you mate on your amazing ride. I think you also captured the crazy atmosphere profoundly well. Take care, ride safe over the winter mate.
Thanks for reaching out hope you enjoyed it
Great video mate. Some cracking footage there
Cracking video 👊🏻
Glad you enjoyed it!
Super! Gotta’ love that huge crowd and all their energy supporting the cyclists!
It was so good!
Lot of fun and at the same time a lot of pain. Well done to all who entered, brave souls.
Done it myself, can feel the pain it goes on forever , outstanding.
That last bit is a killer if your knackered
Really enjoyed that. Thank you for the video. Best regards, Martin
Glad you enjoyed it Martin
Watching from New Zealand, loving it,Brit does it the best!
Awesome! Thanks for watching from down under 🙌
Great effort mate - that looked grim!!
Btw yours is the best video of this years event 👍
That means a lot I was up all night trying to edit it
Fantastic video, that crowd and atmosphere looks like something from the Tour De France, amazing!!!
It was insane, going to take something really special to beat this. Got a few events in the near future.
Let's gooooooo, production quality ON POINT
I appreciate the feedback 🙌
What an amazing crowd to cheer you on! well done btw 👏 🙌
It was so good, next video is going to be a bit boring now 🤣
@BeardonaBike as if, you do great vids, very down to earth, get thinking of your next challenge! 😀

Needed your drone skills but thought you’d enjoy it
Great video, what a mental day, but looks great fun
Cheers Steve

Amazing effort well done . Great video as well looks awesome 👏 👏👏🔥
Thank you so much 😁
Great video, those crowds 👍
Love it!
It was such an amazing atmosphere
Good to meet you on Sunday, I was on the hand bike🙂
Yes Geoff, what an inspiration you are. I really wanted to film you in the carpark for the video but realised the young lady was doing the same and I didn’t want to tread on her toes. Hope you enjoyed the day I can only imagine the crown as you made your way up. What’s next for you?
Brilliant effort
Brilliant video, great ride, nice one!💪💪💪👌
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the support
What a climb. Inspiring stuff 👌
Wa Alaikum Assalaam wrwb
Great effort!
🔥
I appreciate the kudos Francis and team, would have loved to chat but you guys were very busy. See you on the next one 🤞
Quality video mate, really felt part of the action. Looks absolutely brutal, chapeau sir!
Thanks a ton Matt let’s get this ride in sometime
Chapeau that man, great effort tank fully emptied💯💥
I was dead, there’s a picture of me floating around at the finish line and I look like I’m crying 🤣 I wasn’t really just couldn’t breathe
@@BeardonaBike 🤣
Great vid cheers for posting it.
Glad you enjoyed it Chris
Love to see this, great effort!!
Glad you enjoyed it
Top man.. "The Cannonball"
The one and only 🙌
Mega. I feel like I was there. Your best video yet.
I think so too 🙏
ما شاء الله مجهود كبير وفل قاز الله يبارك في صحتك
Absolutely amazing video! My heart is racing and my ears ringing, I think yesterday gave me PTSD, thanks for the flashback 😅😂😂
I thought my ears were going to pop
Mental the correct word lol,well done,its the taking part that matters maybe next year you will be on that podium,tin tins noise just as bad as my Tinnitus in party mode lol.Very Well Done.😃👍
I’d need to be weighing in at 10st and still wouldn’t stand a chance
Utter madness! I tip my cap to you!
Awesome vid and well done mA
Glad you liked it Jzk for watching
Fabulous. Makes me want to do it
DO ITTTT!!!!
Looks like so much fun! Gutted I didn't get in. What was your time? Looked strong.
Great stuff. Andrew feather looked next level
When he came flying around the corner everyone was like woah!!
great vid dude. Subbed
Thanks for the support dude 🙌
Curious to know where the parking was for so many people, prior to walking up to spectate. Ambleside is usually pretty rammed already!
We parked at the university campus at the bottom there was parking directly opposite and several other areas nearby
thanks for the reply and as others have said, you're doing great efforts on the bike and with the quality of your videos! @@BeardonaBike

Mashallah bro ❤ great work
Jzk
You get your training in Aky for 2024. I'll be there to cheer you on. I'll do my riding on the lower stuff.
See you there Stevie 🙌
How much average gradient? And maximum gradient?
Nice work man 😊
Thank you Chris 🙌
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
What an absolute horror show. Kudos all round!
Isn’t it just and love it 🤣
That looks absolutely bonkers!! I would of tried 40 years ago when I was still in my 20’s
There were riders in their 70’s taking part
Amazing effort Aky m8... Surely you are not counting the recumbent in your 4. 😊
A rider is a rider I take no prisoners 🤣
Don't feather n laverick like each other... Laverick didn't even look at him as he went for the trophy, terrible sportsmanship
Perfectly understandable to be gutted but yeah not even acknowledging him is poor, let alone not shaking his hand. Is there something in this or is it being read into too much?
It will make next year will be very interesting
Next year is around 3 minutes, hard to see Ed coming close to Andy next year. This was his chance.
I think it just might be that competitor in him. I’m sure it’s just a on sided rivalry.
I'm sorry... I love winning and hate losing. They both seem like decent fellas on camera, but that showed true colours. Always win with class and lose with dignity
Nice one mate well done great effort 💪💪💪 Didn’t know Aby was doing it with you to 😂😂😂
Bring your best bike 2024 pls Sham
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Fantastic effort Aky but where was The Doctor ?
Dr doesn’t ride when it’s a bit wet or cold. Probably in bed or on Zwift
Wow loved it , true Brit style 🙌
Absolutely bonkers 🤣
Really well done, great job Aky 👍🏻👏. The spectators are mental 😂
Absolute nutters 🤣 I flippin loved it!
Assalamualaikum, hello from Indonesia, a fan of hill climbing
Walaikum Salaam, for reaching out I hope you enjoyed it and do share with the brothers from Indonesia jzk
lol amazing effort. Like a little Yorkshire terrier
An over weight one 🤣
@@BeardonaBikegood video lad and well did🙏🇨🇮
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Where are you mate??? We miss the vids!!.
New vid out tonight/tomorrow Mallorca 312 ❤
@BeardonaBike oh goody was worried something was wrong lol!@
Do any not finish? I honestly don't think i could do it.
You DNF don’t know if any did, imagine getting off and pushing in front of the crowd. I don’t think that’s an option
Great effort pal & what a crazy atmosphere there was there. Plus what a legend Andrew Feather is (rumour has it it's all down to how much carbon fibre he gets in his diet & he drills holes in his toenails to cut weight). 😂
🤣🤣🤣 pass me the Dremel
Nice work mate, not even started my video yet! 😂😂😂 As I say, gimme a shout about the Fred next year if you're in, a good chance there's a free bed for you here
Will do cheers!
Saw you Well Done 👍
Hope it wasn’t sat on the floor at the finish line 🤣
This looks horrific. Why would anyone want to do this to themselves? I might enter next year.
🤣🤣 exactly that see you there 🤣🤣
What was your lowest gear ratio?
I had a standard bike set up nothing special 52/36 11/30. I’m going to look into building a bike specifically for hill climbing. Another bike 🤣
I've done an EVERESTING .... in 14h other is a joke... with 6000km from years...
Well done
Just B R I L L I A N T !!!
🤩🤩🤩
..and Ed wouldn’t even shake Andrew hand at the end! ☹️
Next year will be very interesting if they both enter 🤨
Laverack is not a happy bunny!!! looooool
👀
LOL it’d be impossible to control your effort with that kind of crowd; you’d just give it full beans the whole way 😂
That’s what happened by the time I got to the last 200 meters the beans ran out 🤣
oh man, Ed is devestated...
I bet but it is what it is, he can come back next year however the climb I’m told will be very different
Bell cheering has gotten out of control around the world. Insane noise.
My eardrums were about to burst
Feather 🏅🏆😂
He was like a rocket and such a good poker face 🚀
lol wow
See Aky you are again shown in a photo on Stolen Goat's latest email.
I missed it 😩
No women in this event???
Loads of women however all women set off before me so had finished climbing before I got there and and pulled the camera out unfortunately
