Some gnarly sections, but still looks like a blast! Definitely a route I would try :)

[@stephenbrown5844]

Fantastic riding guys,, those E, s are brilliant and them speeds make me worry 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍❤️🇬🇧

[@mtbguides_Rich]

Thanks very much for the mention, appreciated 👍

[@TrailFinder]

My pleasure. Thanks for your hard work getting it changed. Lots of people are going to have lots of fun riding it legally thanks to you.

Wish i'd watched THIS before i attempted it last month ! Crazy how flat it looks on GoPro. Great video !

[@garymartin557]

enjoyed that. the finest youtuber of your genre.

[@TrailFinder]

Thanks mate. Nice of you to say that. Not sure I agree with you though 🤭😂. But as long as you think it I’m over the moon with that

[@mtbmatestrailsbanter]

Borrowdale bash is an all time classic, so pleased walla crag is open There are so many little variations to add in, good bridle way through Frith wood and another out of stonethwaite

[@TrailFinder]

Yeah. So much better. Cuts off 3 miles of tarmac

[@Bakerboy0123456789]

Same happened to my trek rail after fitting a unite front chainring - teeth went after 30mile or so - ride over - new front chainring needed!

[@TrailFinder]

No a few trek owners who’s hubs have gone. Common fault. And not just e-bikes. Normal bikes also

[@ashdowker4326]

gutted for john hope your going to take him back love the stuff you do in my home county coming from kendal

[@TrailFinder]

Cheers Ash 😁

[@mitchwarren1600]

Great ride and news thanks to Rich. My go to when visiting the family, is Guisborough woods an absolute blast with the dog ! Do you ever go over there Andy?

[@TrailFinder]

Never been Mitch. Heard it’s really good

[@mitchwarren1600]

@@TrailFinder rocky rooty forest , epic views out to sea ! Filthy mudness, savage downhills!! Fire road climbs. Everything on the menu

[@peterward8574]

Looks a great ride, need to get to the lakes. Guessing it was the free hub on John's bike, did the same on my road bike. Probably just needs a clean and a bit of oil my bike shop did it in 5 mins.

[@TrailFinder]

Hub itself. Common fault on trek bikes. The hub that comes with there bikes isn’t very good. Happened to a few trek owners I know

[@peterward8574]

@@TrailFinder yeah they really cheap out on that component, used to to have a trek roscoe hardtail which had a rubbish hub. It's a bit underhand I think as it's like a hidden component

[@davemtb8044]

Looked great. Have you ever thought about doing a top 5 lakes routes video? You've done tons so would be great I reckon 😉

[@TrailFinder]

Thought about it. But vids like that are hard to do as what I think is amazing someone else says it’s crap.

[@wayneduncan4236]

So much work goes into these videos the channel dose not get recognition it deserves

[@TrailFinder]

Thanks Wayne. Appreciate that. As long as the people who do watch enjoy, that’s all I’m bothered about bud.

[@Ndc710]

Great video, love the Lakes.

[@TrailFinder]

Cheers Dave.

[@user-om2fg7yh6s]

Lol John is a right character.

[@TrailFinder]

He’s like that all the time. So funny!!

[@Peterichardson835]

He’s worse when he’s drunk,I asked him why he didn’t have kids once,his reply was fucking hilarious.

[@mrtnpope]

​@@Peterichardson835 go on, you have to tell us what he said! Just bleep out the effing and jeffing

[@Burnzyyyy]

Rode this today, got to honister descent and had a blow out

[@TrailFinder]

Bad luck mate 😢

[@Burnzyyyy]

@@TrailFinder fixed no maybe try again tomorrow, I stupidly forgot to take a spare tube today. So I’ve went tubeless now

[@absandlittleabs1952]

Great video and footage as always, did a similar route last year and absolutely loved it I’m off to the North Yorkshire Moors in June, staying near Pickering. Any recommendations for all day routes? Thanks

[@TrailFinder]

Thanks mate. A ride I really enjoy is the goathland circular. Just down the road from Pickering. I have a video of the ride if you want to search for it and watch

[@absandlittleabs1952]

@@TrailFinder excellent, cheers for the speedy reply

[@richardbaron2948]

Love the videos :)> Probably been asked a million times before but what type of navigation unit do you use?

[@TrailFinder]

Hi Richard I use a Garmin 1030 plus

[@WeJockMcPooPlop]

Great news about the bridleway change. Can't find the channel mentioned at the beginning though, Richard from keswick, MTB guide UK. Anyone got a link?

[@shonaridley7170]

New name for John,Broke bike mountain.😂

[@shannonmtb]

Class route...did this a few mths ago 🤙

[@TrailFinder]

Nice all weather one. And great fun. Especially that section I said was my fav in the video 😁

[@shannonmtb]

@@TrailFinder yes it's great esp when getting the right line. I went left and stayed left but got stuck so deffo left them middle next time

[@TrailFinder]

@@shannonmtb yeah lots of lines down there. But only one true line I think. 😁

[@crosbyboyer213]

what chain lubes do you use ?

[@TrailFinder]

Peatys all weather

[@zacdavis2504]

Looks a belter. Shame about Johns bike. Hope it’s not expensive repair

[@TrailFinder]

Under warranty Zac. Common fault on all trek bikes with that hub. Normal bikes and e-bikes. Cheap hubs that come stock

[@zacdavis2504]

@@TrailFinder least it’s under warranty. Soon be back in the saddle 👍

[@kryten1021]

Another nice ride ...... I always carry zip ties on a ride just in case of problems like Johns ,,, heres an easier way than explaining a good bodge to often be able to get you home if your rear hub does what Johns did not ideal but always worth a try to get you home or back to your vehicle .... start at 2.25 kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4mwkJqKjdd7n7M

[@TrailFinder]

Can’t beat a zip tie. Just watched the vid you suggested. I’ll remember that one for the future, didn’t know you could do that!!
