You rotten sod, I nearly pissed myself laughing though

Looks amazing on a dry day. i did part of this route on a rainy day and it was not as fun as I thought it would. Super slippery on the grass and mud. I definitely need to come back on a nice sunny day.

Nice little ride. Love Mastiles Lane area. Great to see so many other riders out too

Ah the dry trails of April. They seem like a distant memory now. Great vid 😊

They will be back Kev. Looks like the forecast for June is cracking.

Nice dry trails, looks like a fun little loop 👍

I've done most of that loop as part of a longer ride. It was fantastic fun

Lovely video mate

Looks ace, you should do a van video showing its progress.

Perfect day, perfect loop. Fast and flowing - just as we like 'em. We did it anti-clockwise but no doubt it is just as good tother way round.

You did it the best way. Clockwise like the vid is ok. But more climbs.

Lovely videos

Great video as always Andy and awesome riding in the Yorkshire Dalles with beautiful weather too, its done nothing but rain for what seems like ages in this neck of the woods , I have the Garmin edge explore and find it an awesome piece of kit, not the same battery life but I find it lasts a five hour ride with some life left in it so it suits me fine, I lost count how many times I got lost in the Peak District before I had it with one of them on kinder Scout in a thick fog so a life saver really, why is it that walkers always seem to part down the middle leaving us with a tiny gap to squeeze through, really gets my goat

Thanks mate. I couldn’t do the rides I do without this Garmin. Sat nav for the bike. Brilliant. Yeah those walkers were in no rush to get out the way. They had plenty of notice. They were nice though. So all good

I couldn’t do what I do either without the Garmin because I have a rubbish sense of direction, don’t get me started with walkers, they have more footpaths than we have bridleways and byeways and they still have to walk on these bridleways and byeways and to add insult to injury walk like twats, rant over mate, awesome video 🤘

Nice ride Andy. 👍

Lovely video as always mate. Sounds like you've been busy with the van too - you not tempted by the view magnet that is Vanlife Conversion? I thought about it, filming myself chucking a chamber pot and a dirty sleeping bag in the back of the Volvo but I don't reckon anyone would be convinced 😃

Thanks mate. I’ll just stick to ride videos😂. Although on my last ride I did film the inside of my van. I was making a brew using my shithouse as a table , while watching one of your videos on my new tele I’ve installed. True story that. I’ll keep it in the edit 😂😂 so look out for my Horton in ribblesdale vid 😂😂

They didn’t make it easy did they!! They were nice though. One of the reasons I don’t ride footpaths and only ride bridleways. No Walker has a leg to stand on giving me any trouble. Slow right down. Be polite. That’s all we can do as mountain bikers. Thanks for your comment 😁

A quick one Andy, which maps do you use on the Garmin? I'm looking for mapping for my (new to me) 810...also tan wall Nobby Nic....I run them too 👌

@@TrailFinder I decided to try a 30T oval after quite a while of deliberation. I can't say I see them used by the majority. Never put the question out there before & wondered if it was considered as bordering on cheating to a degree. I must say after getting used to it I like it.
