Cycling to a cafe in Knutsford Cheshire - I'm a cyclist and I live the Pennines

[@diq5386]

Yep Cheshire is definitely flat!! Another great video!! 😁😁 nice you see you out with the lads again.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Thanks Daina. It's great in a bunch with all the banter. I only did a short one with them today. The weather hasn't been great this week.

[@diq5386]

@@MrDazP1adv3ntures I know what you mean Daz!! I'm back in work next week so no more morning rides out 😪

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

That's ok, you will be able to catch up in the evenings with a few mid week 50 milers lol.

[@chrimbo]

Been loving the videos whilst I'm working from home, run out now, I'll have to actually do some work now. I need some more please.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Thanks for the comments Chris. I will tell the guys, it means a lot to us to get some feedback like this cheers.

Great ride and into the cycling hub knutsford

There should be a sign saying "Welcome to the flat lands of Cheshire" Levi

Nicely put together Daz, looks like a great day out and a good bunch of lads, good crack with you all. Flying 💨

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Cheers Jon, I can't film half of what they talk about but when they start to wind up the pace it gets interesting

[@AdrenalinePitStop]

MrDazP1 haha I can imagine

Great stuff again Daz, good crew of lads there it seems, well done. 🙂👍

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Ha ha cheers pal. There is some great banter, some of it is totally inappropriate, but when they want to turn up the pace it can get a bit serious too.

Great video Daz 👍

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Hi Dave hope you are well pal.

[@markrobinson1458]

Great riding, through some dodgy roads, A56 into M/cr can be lethal, then Deansgate, its like the surface of the moon, well last time I rode along it 👍🚴‍♂️

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Cheers Mark. The A56 kills any half decent avge speed you build up.

[@neil9688]

groups of 6 or less daz and no helmet on your mate,he might re think that idea if he comes off at 50mph lol great video again mate

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Yes you are right there Neil, I think the advice at the time was to split the group up into two groups also which we tried to do but this isn't always possible. I have tried to make a more conscious effort to convey this on recent videos of the rides. As for my mate who rides with no helmet I guess that is down to his own personal risk assessment and choice, he's a good guy might I add. I feel naked without a helmet and I have also cracked a few over recent years when I've come a cropper.......ouch ! Thanks for watching and commenting again, cheers.

[@semmymaxxy3075]

Another top video pal

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Cheers dude

[@vbml]

Just found your channel, great ride and loving the video. Your average speed is awesome. Sorry if this is a silly question but what’s best way in your option to increase that? I cycle in the hardest gear on the flats as seems the quickers. Should I lower the gear to help to increase my average speed so it’s easier to pedal with more crank rotations? Cheers mate

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Thanks for watching VBML . Average speed is not always the ideal data to go off, most people like to look at wattage these days, personally I don't. A good cadence is often key to maintaining an efficient riding pace but this can take a bit of getting used to. If you can aim for 90 rpm on the cranks that is a good benchmark. The best way to get free speed though is to wear close fitting clothing and keep your elbows in with the lowest position you can get comfortable with. Even lowering your handlebars. Some riders will even get narrower handlebars from 40mm to 38mm.

[@jayaybe1]

Re: Those temporary coned cycle lanes Daz. Make sure to be careful you're not riding into a roadworks ditch! I've just got back into cycling after 33 years so a few niggles to iron out but making good progress and averaging ~ 15 - 16 mph on the same roads.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Great to hear buddy. 16mph ain't too shabby either. Once you get that buzz feeling on the bike it fuels the need to keep riding more and more.

[@sophiescyclingandwalkingch4294]

Great to see a group ride again Daz, flat is good for me ATM. I’m on my winter bike; Snapped rear gear cable on Bianchi 🙁.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

That's a nice repair job to have a go at Sophie. We just need the weather to pick up a bit at the mo, it's all gone a bit damp.

[@sophiescyclingandwalkingch4294]

MrDazP1 I bought Shimano stainless steel cables, but inside the shifter the mechanism isn’t in the right place to locate the end piece of the cable. Can’t rotate it round by moving the shift so I am at a loss. I did one on my old Scott mountain bike years ago but it’s different with The Infinito’s shifter. Turning my Dawes galaxy into a streetfighter it’s lost its rack and today it’s losing its mudguards😂

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

@@sophiescyclingandwalkingch4294 have you indexed the shifter to the last click point where it allows you to feed the cable through the internal mechanism of the trigger.

[@sophiescyclingandwalkingch4294]

MrDazP1 nothing is moving inside the shifter and 1click then nothing when I move the shifter second time. I’d only had bike serviced and a new chain and this was my 3rd ride after.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Oh ! That doesn't sound right, sounds like a trip to the LBS for an inspection

[@garycoppinger9061]

Is mike feeling alright ??? I’ve never ever seen him without the Manchester wheelers top off 😂😆 Good vids daz 👍🏻

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Cheers Gary, hope you are well pal. I think he uses them now as pyjamas and has sweet dreams of riding in the 1982 Milk Race.

[@garycoppinger9061]

😆😂😆👍🏻

[@CyclingwithRuss]

That pinarello is stunning daz. Did you meet a group of cyclist based in Royton ? it wasn't the lads from the secret sip was it ?

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Yes I agree the F12 looks the bizz Russ. I am not sure if the lads belong to any other groups though ?

[@CyclingwithRuss]

Looking to ride with some local riders, think there is a club there but not sure what kind of rides they do. I went over Holme moss again yesterday, the wind was wild. Couldn’t get any kind of speed going down to woodhead, the wind was viciously changing directions and battering the bike.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

@@CyclingwithRuss That descent towards Woodhead is scary fast on it's day and the group I ride with are just local riders from around the Rochdale area. There's a few clubs too around there, ABC Centreville, East Lancs, West Pennine etc. There seems to be a lot more on line social groups you can join these days through FACEBOOK and Strava but you need to be aware of your privacy settings.

[@neil9688]

great video as always that giant was ugly with a huge seat stem,but no helmet on a fast downhill on a wet road apart from that a great day out

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Cheers Neil, his other bike was a C60 Colnago which was a stunner.

[@neil9688]

@@MrDazP1adv3ntures I love colnago and your jogle video was simply amazing,I followed your bike prep as I was meant to do this ride now but postponed to next year ,your video inspired me to convince me to do it

Cheers Neil , Jogle is a great adventure and defo something to take to the grave with you. Best of luck when you do it pal.

[@SMITHYSKONTIKI]

Some fabulous bikes there buddy and cost a penny or two I bet.

You know Owen is a proper cyclist when he tells you ur shocking for NOT shaving your legs , whereas non riders would say it’s shocking that a grown man has shaved his legs lol . Question is does Owen shave up to the shorts line or all they way

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

I have to keep my feet in both camps buddy, MTB and being a roadie. If I shave my legs the off road lads would have something to say. I wouldn't be surprised if Owen did all the way up to his bikini line, oops ! I meant his speedo line, and this is something I will have to bring up at the next cafe stop.
