@@MrDazP1adv3ntures You know something Daz, I was thinking exactly the same, a cracking ride in spring or summer. I’m already looking over the details again. 😀 I’ve only been on the A59 on my bike once and that was scary enough, so definitely one to avoid. I really hope I meet you and Mike out on the road one day and catch up, as I bet both of you have a thousand stories to tell about cycling. 😀👍
Hi Daz I'm sitting in my living room 7 30 am smiling like a Cheshire Cat , enjoying watching the ride amazing, I've just put 28 mill tubeless 55psi front 60 back 😊
Hi TOGOW. I hope the weather up there has been kind to you. Extremely cold here. Yer, the 28mm Tubeless tyres should give you a quality ride and maybe you could play about with the pressures to find that sweet spot. No pinch flats either 👍
@theoldguyofwhinlatter157 it just saves typing your full name buddy, I don't want to come across as rude . Have some fun though out in them thar hills ...
you tire me out every time i watch your videos lol , but i love watching them, some amazing scenery and your normal travelling companion is great company, thanks for sharing bud.
I'm into a lot of things AU, the only trouble with putting everything under one roof on CZcams, is that cyclists aren't interested in the gold panning and kayakers aren't into airguns 🤔🙂
Great ride and video Daz. Youve been treating us so far this year with the regular videos. I know they take a heck of a long time to edit and produce so thanks for the entertainment. I dont watch regular TV as it doesnt come close to CZcamsrs like you. Deffo deserve more views mate but I imagine the YT algorithm is a tricky one. Love Waddington - always brings back childhood memories from when my grandparents lived there on Twitter Lane.
Thank you kindly for the comments Cwil. The algorithm is like a gate. The CZcams bots open it for about 3 days then they close it if the data is not where it should be, rather than push it more... There are some channels out there, which to me don't offer anything of any real substance and are based on what you might call click bait , or the content and the quality of their videos is basically mediocre, yet they get pushed and promoted. I'm not jealous or envious as this is just part of the hobby and I work for a living, but Yes, CZcams needs to sort it's self out. Mini rant over. Let's hope the weather perks up soon for us to get out on the bikes 👍
Loving the winter short videos. I have suffered from let's try this road many times , hauling my bike on my shoulder over muddy fields and fells. Fate took you away from Cracoe if you believe in that sort of thing.
Some great points there Terry, The beauty of cycling on your own, is that you have only yourself to blame and no one to question your decisions. Then again, if you do the Way of the Roses, it's just like this ride, where you go across fields on your best bike !
Another great video Daz, not managed to get out on my bike yet. Knutsfords been covered in ice/snow or i've been busy. Sure I will start my 2024 campaign soon. Looking forward to those lighter days already.
Nice one Darren, nothing like an early morning cycle ride around the Yorkshire Dales, 6am.here and enjoying a Latte & Cinnamon hot drink, even making a wrong decision you carried on regardless at the cost of missing out on those delicious Yorkshire scones, I was envious of the slice of rocky road, it’s a no!no! for me being border line diabetic, anything delicious 😋 is banned 😅 have a lovely day, cheers for now Bernice 🤗
Hi Bernice, that cuppa sounds nice ! I can almost smell it in the room from here. It's always unfair, when the good things in life , like a Rocky road, can be a no no. I only eat stuff like this because I know I will burn it all off. If not I'd be 18 stone . You Take care through this cold spell, Bernice
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures 😂🤣🤣😂that’s the problem I can’t burn off the calories quick enough on my little exorcise bike, can’t imagine you ever being 18 stone biker or not 😅 I always add a teaspoon of ‘Ceylon’ Cinnamon to my hot chocolate and Latte it gives me energy, that’s one luxury I won’t give up, you take care on these icy ❄️ roads, 🤗 ps I might just have a hot chocolate with a spot of brandy and honey, purely medicinal of-cause 😇
Yes but we leave again tomorrow this time. For Gran Canaria. Hiking again. I did ride once during the time here. But had other pressing things to deal with (accounts before the self assessment deadline). Cycling for me will start properly on my return.

Some of the rides can take up to an hour of extra time added to the day to tell the story and my cycling buddy Mike noticed he was wearing his cycling cleats out when riding with me if we took a couple of GoPros out 😁
You had a bit of everything in this one - big thumbs up for Gatorskins when you can use them for off-roading. Some lovely back lanes en route to Cracoe, can be a bit blind when the trees are in leaf, but ideal in Jan. A month or two later and the 'caravan cafe' after your Cracoe-left would've been open for an emergency brew!
They are surprisingly good are Gatorskins, even in the ice and snow I managed to get to work last week on them. As for going right at Cracoe, I had it in my mind that I was a bit further on down the road than I actually was 🤔
Hi David and thank you for the feedback, the jacket is a Boardman and I am liking it for what I paid for it. £35. They do it in Green and also in lovely Blue with Orange. The sleeves come off to make it into a Gilet too.
Hiya. start at Clitheroe, barnoldswick, kettlewell, (Park rash) head up to leyburn, Reeth, Muker, Kirkby Stephen, Mallerstang, Garsdale head, Ribblehead, Horton In Rib, Settle, Bolton, Waddingtonn amd back to Clitheroe (132miles) - should be fun dones some sections before (and more on virtual turbo) @@MrDazP1adv3ntures
Yes, I have noticed that now. It's a great feeling looking ahead to the changing seasons with lighter nights. Currently in Todmorden before the storm kicks in and it's wet n' miserable but at least I out on the bike.
Brilliant stuff, and even stopping to film the impromptu hike-a-bike bits as well! Gotta say yours are some of the best filmed and inspiring cycling videos here in CZcams land, Daz. Never started a ride out from Whalley. Is it an easy place to find a spot to park up and leave the car for a few hours?
Thank you kindly OMC. It's one thing simply going for a bike ride but trying to tell the story is a completely different kettle of fish. The good thing about editing and using more and more tech to create a video, is that you are continually developing your skills and looking to tweak something for the better. (plus it passes the dark winter nights away) Parking in Whalley is good and free. It's 45 mins drive away and you can get to Blackpool , Lancaster, The Trough and the Dales very easily. I need to catch up on your videos and many others too. Not enough hours in the day....
I will have to take another look Matt, it could well be for river levels. There's a weir down the path nearby . It can flood around these parts though , big time .
Great video. I've done a few myself so I can appreciate how much time and faffing those flyby shots are but it is worth it. What do you use for audio? The sound always seems really good.
Hi peter, I have tried using a Sony mini IC Recorder ICD-UX560 which is pretty good in certain situations but not practical on the bike. The best option I find at the moment is to narrate "live" with the Gopro's mic before or after the flyby shot. It only takes a minute and then you can use the GoPro like a dictaphone to remind yourself of what you are aiming to achieve. You can then edit all the clips together on the time line in Adobe afterwards.
Thanks for the reply, that's a good idea. It's very clear when you're riding too from just a GoPro. Maybe I need to speak up more! Keep up the videos and maybe I'll see you out and about one day!
Hi Daz, I am in the search for a bike more for.fitness and getting some longer miles in than I can on my hardtail MTB. I am thinking of a flat bar hybrid type bike initially and given some of the miles you cover on yours that seems like it would do the trick, or do you think I should commit the whole way for a drop bar bike? Keep up the good work, watched all the back catalogue pretty much and have an extensive list of cafes I now need to visit. Lol Thanks in advance for reply.
Hi Mark and thanks for the great question. I have always kept a flat bar/hybrid bike in my collection because of my Mountain bike roots. They are great to commute on and to zip in and out of traffic and to bunny hop onto pavements when necessary 🤔😉. The other factor which I like, is that they are not built for pure speed or performance so you can get a proper comfy ride out of them if you run 30mm+ tyres. The next area which I think is worth mentioning is that if you ride a hybrid through the winter months, October to March for example, and then get on a carbon drop handlebar road bike, you will find yourself riding much quicker and approaching corners at higher speeds, now that can't be a bad thing ! I think they are a nice way to transition between disciplines and to make decisions further on down the line if you get the bug. Here is a link to a bike that recently caught my eye, I hope it helps 👍 czcams.com/video/2MReFKPTxaY/video.htmlsi=1oWZY56JhyTrCW4l
