Thanks TF, Enjoyed that, and who doesn't like a bit of steam train nostalgia that takes us back to a time when everyone was rich, lived in big houses and had enough coal to keep em warm through the winter 🚂 😉😉. Looking forward to the return journey 👍

[@TrailFinder]

Thanks mate

[@lukelivesey7541]

The bridalway your man mentioned from Addingham to Skipton is worth a visit. Also recently did Earby to Wycoller and up to Widdop Res really nice ride..had to zig zag one of the fields it was that steep 😬

[@2pinttony]

Another cracking video. Always great for showing me new places to ride 👍👍

[@TrailFinder]

Cheers tony

[@stevemawz]

Embsay crag is my back yard. Have a ride up to Rylstone cross and Cracoe memorial. But leave it later in the day so it's quiet as the bobble hats don't like footpath poaching.

[@TrailFinder]

🤣🤣 I’ll take a look. Thanks for the tip

[@AndyPhillipWoodturning]

Nice one Andy 👍 good to see some footage of the local ..

[@TrailFinder]

Cheers Andy. Next vid is the other way around. But added an extra bit on. From the black hill carpark I descended down to Bolton abbey. Which turned out to be a lovely trail.

[@Stopadoodledoo]

That last descent looks ace mate. Great video 👍

[@TrailFinder]

Lots of lines. It can be as techie or smooth as you like. We took the smooth fastest line. There is also I trail going down the cliff face side which I’d like to have a go at some day

[@AngusNewmanMTB]

amazing andy so jealous you can go everywhere while I watch at home doing homework

[@TrailFinder]

I’ll have plenty of rides for you to have a go at when your old enough to drive

[@steveoutdoors5964]

Looks a great loop. Looking forward to the next one in opposite direction.

Next vid Steve

[@philhicks5818]

This one looks very interesting

[@markwood674]

Nice one Andy been waiting to see this one, nice and local for me will wait to see the return video!!

[@TrailFinder]

Next video mark 😁

[@Petrolhead912]

Dont forget to call in at the Angel at Hetton 😂 Love this area but not been in a while, it’s gotten as busy as the lakes in Summertime.

[@martinhutchinson9265]

My local, this one. Hope you got the reverse leg done before it all turned to gloop. I avoid this descent to Flasby unless it's pretty dry.

[@TrailFinder]

I did and it was prime

[@garymartin557]

Another top ride.

[@owenjohn1192]

Looks like I have found my ride for Saturday, a bit easier than what I did last Saturday.

[@TrailFinder]

Just keep in mind that I’d say this was not a wet weather ride.

[@owenjohn1192]

@@TrailFinder I have to agree. I think I will stick to the North York moors this weekend and save this route (or the next one you do from here) for a dryer day!

[@owenjohn1192]

@@TrailFinder ,it really isn't! a wet day ride , did it the other way around. Boggy crappy cow field half way around!

[@TrailFinder]

@@owenjohn1192 funny you’ve said that. As this coming Thursdays video while riding through that cow field, I do say that this would be terrible in the wet 😂😂

[@owenjohn1192]

@@TrailFinder I will be watching as We made a bit of a mistake after the cow field coming down the other side. It will be interesting to see where we went wrong!

[@alanaucote3259]

Another great ride mate. I’m gunna have to move 😅

[@TrailFinder]

Thanks mate. Where do you live?

[@alanaucote3259]

@@TrailFinder Tamworth, about 15 miles north east of Birmingham. We’ve got Cannock chase and Sutton park locally but I like the sort of xc that you do up on the moors. 👍

[@TrailFinder]

@@alanaucote3259 not much down that way without a long travel. I’m very lucky!

[@michaelannetts5839]

I definitely need to get out of the mindset of 'shit, I'm going uphill now, slam it into first gear pronto' - my fitness has remained the same level for too long now

[@TrailFinder]

Same with me until I started going up in harder gears. You won’t believe how bike fit you will get in a short space of time

[@michaelannetts5839]

@@TrailFinder sounds like a plan for this weekend

[@mark-yorkshiredrone]

Where did you buy that storage bag in the frame, I can’t seem to find one for a full suss bike, thanks

[@TrailFinder]

I got it from ibis as it’s especially for the ripmo

[@mark-yorkshiredrone]

@@TrailFinder thank you, been looking for a decent one for ages. Thinking of trying some of your routes, just got a polar V650 🤞 it works ok

[@TrailFinder]

@@mark-yorkshiredrone I used to use this on my old bike before I got the ripmo www.tredz.co.uk/.Blackburn-Outpost-Corner-Bag_126558.htm

@@TrailFinder thank you, I’ll order one of these, the others were out of stock

When your arms look like pipe cleaners you have got to roadie fitness level!!

😂😂 don’t think my belly will ever look like a roadies though

Excellent!
