The Manchester cafe ride - I'm a cyclist and I live in the Pennines

- On today's ride, me and my cycling buddy Mike, cycled from the City of Manchester into the heart of the Cheshire countryside, passing through places such as Wythenshawe park and Tatton Park before the all important cafe stop at the Lambing Shed Farm Shop & Kitchen in Knutsford.
With maps, a running narration and the occasional blooper, I hope this road trip gives you an insight into what road cycling in the north wet (west) of England has to offer.

Great video lads, when you said its a shame we have to get old! most 20/30 year old people cant do what you two do ,brilliant.
Hi Matt and thank you. I try avoid thinking about getting older but you are probably spot on. Me and Mike are just doing what we did when we were kids and are still playing out in our 50's. It's a way of life to some degree, but when I look back the old photographs, the youthful appearance vanished a long time ago.
Despite the weather in the first half of your video Darren, it was wonderful to see the Deer at Tatton Park its always a pleasure to see wild life in beautiful surroundings, I used to live near Woolaton Park in Nottingham’s that was home to a magnificent herd of deer 🦌 a very interesting video lads, nice to visit places I haven’t been before, the burger 🍔 looked delicious by the way 😋 and your stars & stripes t-shirt looks rather “snazzy” 👍
Thanks Bernice. The deers are a sight for sore eyes I can tell you that. We have them all around where I live but they are Roe deer and yes the burger was yummy but at that price, it meant all my pocket money was spent up, so I never had enough for a desert.
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures I agree the deer are a sight for sore eyes, the prise for the burger was expensive, the escalating prise of food and heating makes it difficult to make ends meet, there are little pleasures being house bound these days, apart from your entertaining little videos and “Steve Marsh” virtual tours around Scotland and beyond, also “The Cornish Walking Trails” are very interesting, now my tv. has recently decided to give up 🥴it was nice to watch the iPad videos on big screen….Oh! Well it could be worse I guess, take care Darren keep looking for places of interest to cycle to….. it’s a while since I came across you ‘Storm ⛈️Chasing’ 🤗
Great Cheshire mission. Love it when that fan says _"I'm a cyclist and I live in the Pennines"_ Fame at last ! ----- looks like you'll have to add an autograph-signing pen to the kit list Dazza! 🙂
We were both really surprised to hear the " I'm a cyclist" in Manchester , It can happen when we are on more local hilly rides. He was a pleasant enough chap and I can recall talking about the bike he was riding. It was built for the job and looked great.
It's a lovely cycle up by Knutsford, next chance you get, there's a place called Mobberley Taphouse, lovely place, decent beer. I like to do a bit of a cycle up by the airport and then up through Mobberley, through Tatton Park, and then come back. Decent ride, I love that place, once you get through that little thicket it just gets super quiet.
Thanks for the heads up Jay. I have cycled around the parts you mentioned quite a lot and I find the labyrinth of lanes amazing but I have never mastered the art of connecting every one of them up yet.
I like the idea of leaving a bustling city centre behind me and finding some solitude in the more rural parts...
All the best boyz
Hi Crown J.
All the best to you too buddy
You and Mike absolutely crack me up, you know 😂😂. Your filming being professional and mikes dry humour. When you and Mike were eating, you're trying to have a chat, and he's like, shut up, daz. im trying to eat 😂😂🤓🚴🏿♂️
Ha ha , thanks for the great comments Jay. Mike goes very quiet when it comes down to the actual eating part, but then again it's not always a comfortable position to be in when some one (me) is pointing a camera in your face at lunch time
🙈
You need to remortgage for that burger. Hope you and Mike have a great New Year and thanku for the cracking videos 🙂
Thanks Di and best wishes to you and your family too.
We even looked on the children's menu to try to find a cheaper option.
To be fair, the burger was delicious though...
Good to see video eventually
I met you both in wythenshawe Park
On my electric bike 😂
Hello Paul, It has taken some time to put the clips together but we were so pleased that you took the time to stop and have a chat with us. I hope the bike is serving you well. I can recall it having some descent spec too. Take care buddy and all the best for 2024
Thanks for another great video daz. That jersey reminds me of that Blackpool coast to coast you did once . Looks like a nice flat speedy outing that good pace . All the best for the new year 🎉
Yes it was the top I wore for the C2C. I have to take care of it nowadays as it easily tears.
I'll tell you what though, if you get down this way with a few cycling mates who do a big turn on the front, you will see the speedometer well north of 25mph.
Thanks once again and all the best for the New Year to you...
Thanks for including me in outake
Great to meet you both
The pleasure was all ours Paul 👍
Fantastic tarmac 😂😂😂 I’m sure I’ve seen Mike driving out that big house in his Bentley 😅
You can't beat a bit of freshly laid tarmac Shane and I think we now know where Mike will be moving to when his premium bonds come in.
🤣 I wish Shane.
You and Mike take care all the best for the new year. Until your next video daz cant wait
You too Jay, all the best for 2024
All the best Jay.
@blackpuddingman5344 Thank you very much, and all the best, Mike. Until your next video, you both take care 🚴🏿♂️
Another great video Daz. You and Mike are like Canon and Ball so funny 😂 but also great cyclists and very knowledgeable, well Mike is 🤔🤣🤣🤣 you put out top videos.
Happy New year to you both and i look forward to watching your videos in 2024 🚴♂️🚴♂️😎👍
Cheers Terry and thank you for the kind words, they are warmly received. All the best to you and your family for 2024 and also for the lighter nights to come.
All the best Terry.
In the words of the Thin Lizzy song “The boys are back in town”, and you two certainly are. 😀
What an amazing refreshingly different ride and style than your normal rides. As always professionally done with great commentary and as I’ve never really been around this area, brilliantly informative and really interesting.
I think we can all relate to city riding and how dangerous it is and also once you get out into the country lanes, the crud on the road. 😂
You guys are really funny, and I mean that in the most complementary way, brilliant friendship and good riding partners.
Thank you Mike for being such a character and thank you Darren for all the effort to put these videos together.
If you two carry on with your popularity, at this rate you’ll be signing autographs and opening supermarkets soon. 😂
Happy new year lads and whatever next year brings “Lets go for a ride” and find that “Cycling heaven”
Steve
That made me chuckle Steve, I would pay to see Mike open the next Aldi.
I am trying to get through the backlog of videos from the summer and there's no quick way of making them, I have tried !
But they always give me something to do through the dark winter months.
All the best buddy and happy new year to you and your family.
Thank you for the kind words👍
Happy new year both..thanks for the videos..keeps me inspired to get out there.
Thanks Frank and wishing you a happy New year my friend
hey hey USA is back😀 seasons greetings and blessings to one and all
God bless Urmston Stockport and Ashton DJRobbo.
All the best for 2024 pal

Nice one Ian
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures Thanks 😊 I like riding to Tatton Park and most times stop at the pub in Ashley village for a breather
It sounds like you have some local knowledge there pal.
daz p are you anti fenders this time of i love mine.happynew year,looking forward t 2024 of your adventures
Hi Ste, yes I am. I should know better but I think they spoil the look of the bike. I use them on the MTB though.
All the best buddy and happy New year.
Was that you riding through Walsden just after dinner today? We said hi to you just outside Gordon Riggs, while you rode past.
Yes it was Benjamin. I am just editing the video now, about to go past Riggies.
I thought I heard someone.
It's a small world ..
@@MrDazP1adv3ntures it is a small world😆 we went over the tops yesterday to Stoodley pike. Muddy but fun!!
I am NOT a car guy, but I sure as hell can add fluids/change fluids and filters , change spark plugs and wires , change tires (like remove from rim and add new rubber to rim), change breaks( calipers ,pads, shoes ) , bleed breaks, deal with battery issues, jump start vehicles, and a hand full of other stuff. There is no reason beyond stupidity or laziness or illness, that any one person cannot learn how to do thousands of basic tasks and learn basic skills before 40 years old. All the while learning the mastery of one major skill. That was once common place . A man or woman could cook well enough to eat without getting sick, build a house , hunt and fish , forage, sew, tan leather, grow vegitables, make almost everything needed and be able to repair it and on and on. They could do everything needed in their situation to live well. While times and situations have changed, we are still capible of doing the same amount and complexity of tasks. I see potential wasted everywhere I look. We need to break this social habbit before it gets even worse. Will we? Nope. Probably not. Though if we did ,life would be a lot better for everybody.
Why is this being posted on a cycling video?
Thanks Corey, I class myself as a practical person with a hands approach too. I am a big believer in needing to have a purpose in life and if we can share this for others and future generations, then we can all move forward with some hope and self belief.
All the best for 2024
