Cycling a climb named - The Struggle - How bad can it be?

[@andrew30m]

Loving the production, going back the for the pictures appreciate the effort. Gives a much better sense of the gradient and what’s going on.

[@BeardonaBike]

Thanks for the feed back, I actually climbed this 3 times to get the shots, safe to say I was knackered

[@steviewheelie2971]

Well done Aky. You've really got the bit between your teeth with this 'climbs series '. This is something the other influencers have not so consistently. Your commentry always makes me laugh. All of this is top dollar.

[@BeardonaBike]

Appreciate the feed back it means a lot Stevie 🙏

[@neilfox9540]

Did this climb in the summer, it really is a beast. That final ramp to the pub left me in pieces 😂

[@BeardonaBike]

It’s all about pacing this one, tomorrow I’m doing again full gas with spectators 😩

[@cwmitch2]

Epic pal really enjoyed it.

[@TheImprobableIronman]

Chapeau fella. A good few years back, I rode up Kirkstone Pass and down the Struggle. That is one steep and brutal hill. Great video and commentary.

[@BeardonaBike]

Thanks dude, any plans to head back up it?

[@traildoug415]

Well done. I went up it last year with bags on a solo LeJog. I don't remember that last horrible section being that long. It must have been erased from memory to protect my long term sanity. 🤣

[@BeardonaBike]

Must have been going a lot faster than me 🚀

[@traildoug415]

@@BeardonaBike No I was slower. I wasnt going for a time and had 31/36 so managed to spin most of the way up.

[@rogergascoigne973]

Excellent video rely enjoyed it. How is Sham getting on with his new S-Works Venge.

[@BeardonaBike]

No idea never seen it again 🤣

[@PaulTheCyclist.]

Another cracking video, That last section looks much longer than what comes across in other videos I have watched. Well done on the climb.

[@BeardonaBike]

Maybe I was going up it slower 😂

[@MrSupertramp76]

I really enjoy these videos and you’re commentary is excellent and very informative, keep up the great work my friend👍🤟👊

[@BeardonaBike]

Thank you so much mate 🙏

[@captkev737]

Superb, well done, I felt your pain, fantastic achievement, new subscriber

[@BeardonaBike]

Thanks for joining the channel, it was a nasty one but I always feel it’s because I can’t get warmed up properly. I did HardKnott pass afterwards and although had other excuses my legs were working properly.

[@phil1953]

Well done AKY,brilliant vid, theres always 2 miles left in the Tank lol😃

[@BeardonaBike]

Always is unless it’s the National Hill climb

[@BiggishBoss]

I love the commentary, gives me travel documentary vibes.

[@BeardonaBike]

Can’t believe people like it so much, I’ll consciously try to include more on the next videos

[@steviewheelie2971]

Woo Aky. Number 223. Just seen you on KZbin UK National Hill Climb. You were not lying when you said you'd have a pain face. Well done mate.

[@BeardonaBike]

Not as bad a some other pain faces out there

[@shanegreen2583]

Great work and good luck tomorrow

[@BeardonaBike]

Thanks Shane I don’t think i embarrassed myself and happy with the way it went. Lots of lessons learnt and lots I’d change for next time.

[@McDonaldPhotography]

Great commentary. Thanks

[@BeardonaBike]

Glad you enjoyed it people seem to prefer commentary over just music so will run with that going forwards. Thanks for reaching out

[@gimpsngumps]
