Mr Daz, I love watching your videos,... my wife bought me a road bike, my first ever, for my 60th birthday in March this year. I live in Halifax and since then I've tried to follow the rides that you've done. Not always managing it and at times (like Blackstone Edge, I've had to get off and push,... but I nearly got there!).Just to let you know you inspire me to push and try more - I hope to meet you out on the roads some days. Please keep posting videos.Take care.

Hello rdw and thank you for your kind words. It's great to hear you share your story so far and I hope you continue to keep on riding your bike. I was having a refreshing pint this evening at the Red Lion ( Bottom of Blackstone Edge) after a lovely evening ride. If you see us out and about, you know what to shout out . All the best buddy.

brilliant video, in 30years you can look back at them and relive your memories,.

Have you done the 'Glider Club' road in the Peak District which starts near Grindlow and goes through a hamlet called Abney before descending to come out near the Plough Inn close to Hathersage?. That's a fantastic road, especially with a tailwind, we did it on Saturday - around 4 miles of rolling descent in a really quiet valley.

Cracking stuff , I’ve done Kneasden to Stocks then looped to Cross of Greet south to north. I remember it as a long day. A couple of bits to consider Daz. From Wray to ascend Millhouses then on to Mewith lane and follow it. This year did a circuit from Wray to High Bentham, route went towards Thursgill and then through Lowgill to reach HB.

Take left after Edisford Bridge pub on to Edisford Rd Go to Waddington then turn right at Lower Buck pub onto West Bradford Rd Head to Grindleton climbing up Grindleton Brow continue on Sawley rd all the way (you will pass Bowland high school) Meet the river Ribble near Sawley Bridge but go left - don't go over the bridge. Follow signs for Settle, Wigglesworth and Bolton By Bowland. The road gently climbs for a long way. Ride on Barrett Hill Brow. Take a left at Forest Becks Brow (sign posted for Wigglesworth & Settle) Ride to Wigglesworth turn right on to B6478 Turn left at Plough pub onto Jack lane (sign posted Rathmel & Settle) Ride to A65 then turn left . Keep on A65 for a short distance. Turn left on to Paley green lane - go under railway bridge near station Head to Lawkland, keep on Paley Green lane then continue to A65 again. Cross A65 (signed for Austwick) ride on Graystonber lane. You can cycle through Austwick bearing left and loop around to miss a bit of the A65 via Clapham road. Meet up at A65 again then go right on it for a short while until main sign post will show Clapham to the right at a fork in the road on B6480 From Clapham cycle through Newby Cote then Slatenber on Old Road This should get you to Ingleton and on some quieter lanes
