Many thanks @CGTNetwork

Thanks Mark, replied on the Facebook page.

Many thanks Roy, lovely riding out that way that's for sure.

Sure thing!

Thank you Paul, getting there.

Thank you Wendy, It was a last minute decision to ride it that day & glad I did too.

Lucky to have it nearby, some amazing work gone on over the year's on the canal & a real pleasure to finally take a ride through a section of it. Did not have the time to see Roy unfortunately, I had to get back and make a Sunday roast for the family (didn't want a mutiny if I was late)

Welcome, pick a nice day and enjoy.

Thanks Richard, yes selected this section from Woolsthorpe specifically this time round. The other way into Nottingham looks equally as good too.

Certainly was, I've been waiting for a long time to have the weather just right and the time to enjoy this one. Not the longest ride or the fastest but something that needed exploring.

Thank you so much @maximumsolitude4215 I am glad you enjoyed it, interestingly I was looking at the 46 mile Chesterfield Canal only yesterday .. any good for a gravel bike?

I’ve cycled it from Drakeholes to Misterton on my mountain bike, only problem was in places the grass hadn’t been cut and was really tall , my feet got soaked, can’t comment on the rest of it for biking but a gravel bike I reckon would be ok

smashing, looking over the route now ! thanks

@@maximumsolitude4215 i feel in to the canal near Misterton last year lol got very soaked

@@BikepackingAdventures 😀

Thanks Simon, loved it and seeing how this video goes down I might do some more like it also.

I hear you there @briansteel4872 , Karoo maps are the gold standard but if out on an all day right with stops (not uncommon for me :) ) that battery life is going to be down to under 20% and into low power mode. How are you finding the 1040 for routing & how is your elevation data ? Sigmasports have dropped the 1040 Solar to £567 so super tempted. www.sigmasports.com/item/Garmin/Edge-1040-Solar-GPS-Cycling-Computer/Y6HT

Yes, it seems this is a 'Bug' of the Karoo 2 - I mostly use a SIM card in my K2 and according so the support forums this is a factor, along with the barometer being pretty rubbish in the K2 causing the wild under reporting of any climb's. I think this alone has made my mind up on if to get the New Karoo 3... I am going to try the Garmin 1040 Solar or 840 Solar when a deal comes my way of course.

@@TomStringer 1040 solar sounds really nice, but it's so damn expensive..

@@simonleeofficial Yep I have set my alerts for when it hit's around £500 on CamelCamelCamel, it'll come down in price! they all come down in price :) uk.camelcamelcamel.com/product/B0B6R88F1D?context=search

For me I can muscle by without sponsorship on the channel as that's not what this channel is about anyway, so will continue to speak my mind and call out any AliExpress cowboys or any that come my way. The bigger the channel then I'd think would play a bigger part in the videos and what get's put forward. I do see some channels getting bigger very quick and doing the sponsored 'sell out' , but each to their own & good luck to them.

It was too busy haha, as soon as the riders went by the whole section was full with people walking up it. Great atmosphere this year, hoping we get another in 2025.

cracking day out, kudos for Rapha that keeps supporting it.

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it.

Oh that would have been great, beer and a bacon butty watching the race.

You do get the mood though 👌

Not often repeated, potholes are a pain for sure!

Back in about an hour ...ish ..maybe haha

Indeed, bet the car driver woke up seeing that roll at him.

Thanks, it was a great ride and yes no cars from June ! would be just perfect for cycling.

empty almost when I went yesterday, spotted about 6-7 riders total? more squirrels to be honest :)

Thanks for watching!

Is that true? no bikes on Skegvegas railway line, Outrageous ! However Market Rasen Train Station does and right next to Walesby and the Wolds/ NCN Route 1. I am going to find out more about bikes on the Skeggy line. Also watch out Norfolk.. I will be testing how flat it really is later on this year.

@TomStringer yes when I was working in Nottingham, I wasn't allowed on the Skegness trains with my bike. Tried to get to Heckington to bike back to Peterborough from there for a change.

Incredible, EMR run that line and not seeing anything about no bikes on that line. I hope you worded a strong complaint to them! I've just messaged them on X (twitter)

Reply from EMR - Hi, Tom. Cycles can be taken on our trains as long as there is room for them to be brought aboard safely. This is at the discretion of the conductor. ^DR So to me it was either full and/or a jobsworth of a conductor.

@TomStringer must have changed the rule's, because last year booking were compulsory on the Peterborough to Nottingham service, Roy and Wendy had problems when he did the Ely ride, because they didn't have a reservation, but this year reservations not needed on the EMR between Nottingham and Norwich,

Thanks! some videos come quickly. Watching the weather for tonights little ride, fingers crossed.

It was a really good ride, the Wolds really is a brilliant place to ride with plenty of history too. Until the next ride Roy.

Top speed of around 25km/h

@@TomStringer thanks you

You too! Will have to join you on a ride in the warmer months Paul.

My Canyon with the chunky rider and chunky tubeless tyres was 20s slower up it also.

2700ft ish what the total for the day, not that bad for the Wolds. Not sure on the final verdict of Mr Lakes bike but I am sure he will go into more detail maybe on his video when he uploads it.

@@TomStringer there was some kind of metal alloy ring in the free hub body that had broken in half and shatter into pieces knocked all 6 pulleys out of place; my mechanic couldn't identify would that was. Anyway one of the pulleys would not seat correctly, so I gave my mechanic another wheel from the same brand (Hunt) and he switched them over yesterday evening; in plenty of time for the bank holiday.

It must have been that Tetford hill and too much power Mr Lake!

Thanks Mark, :)

Yes was great to see everyone out riding.

Thanks :)

Thanks, great ride out and good practice for the Lincoln Imp Audax :)

Oh no! Patches for me are a last resort...next to phoning for the boss to bring me some tubes :)

@@TomStringer was a last resort.

If I remember sure thing

Gonna be a good ride I think, just hope we get some ok weather to ride it in.

What a great idea, next time I am doing that ! thanks

That hill out of settle nearly did me in! lucky lot who live near by to ride them lanes all the time.

The best!
