Cycling to the Minstrels Gallery cafe at Hawkshead - I'm a cyclist and I live in the Pennines

[@alanwills4721]

I am with Mike, jam first. Lots of trees down when I was up there the other week. I worked at the Newby Bridge Hotel across from the Swan. The roads and scenery on the west side of Lake Windermere are always fairly quiet, you picked a good day with the weather. I do not think you can beat the lakes, keep em coming Daz, cheers Alan.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Thanks for sharing your story there Alan, it's not a bad place to work up there at all. Mike was truly impressed with the ride out to these parts and it looks like everyone is saying that you put jam on first 🤔 Take care pal and thank you for your comments

[@SteveBrill]

Yet another great video and what scenery! Lovely to hear Mike being serious for once 🤣 and he is right…jam first, then cream. 🤣

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Thanks Steve, Mike is rarely serious lol. I think he wins on the cream tea / scone debate too 🤔 But what a great place to ride your bike....

[@Joomes]

Another great vid of you and Ali-G in the lake district. Cant wait to see more in the nicer weather this year. That sunshine two weeks ago was cruel wasnt it. Now we're all wearing coats again!

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Never a dull moment with Mike he's always acting the goat James

[@vinniep01]

What great inspiration, fantastic.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

I thought I'd share the descent as a separate video for the benefit of other cyclists who want to give it a go Vinnie

[@252Scooby]

Yes yes now we’re talking (riding) it’s a great loop around Windermere , I did it last year but anti clockwise , not sure why I always do loops that way but I think it’s about turning left a lot 😆. Yes that hawks head side is much quieter and more pleasant than the commercial side . Esthwaite water is a gem going past that . Any cheers again daz I like the video so please make some more when u can

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

No worries Scooby, made me laugh with the left turns comment.... Me n' Mike are getting quite good at quick planning the night before and creating the rides we have been going on. Although to be honest Mike just says something like ' How about The Lake District ' and I find a route 😁

[@waynekerry6559]

Superb daz , love that buddy , that looked a great ride 👍

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

It was a great ride Wayne , this is a great place to ride your bike.

[@revieboy]

Perfect conditions, cheers Daz (and Mike) great video. Looked a great climb

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

I did the Struggle on the Hardest 100 in the Lake District Mark, but it was so hot on that day , it was unbearable

[@revieboy]

@@MrDazP1adv3ntures I remember watching your video. Nice to do it in more pleasurable conditions cycling wise!

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

I had a top 10 on the descent a few years ago but it's such a tricky one to get down due to the high speed corners. The lakes though are a fantastic place to ride your bike

[@inspiredtotired8369]

Great video Gentlemen, and lovely scenery. As a Yorkshireman, I'd go with jam first, then cream. But I probably wouldn't buy a scone, as it's too flamboyant 😁

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

It's very thought provoking is the jam and cream issue 🤔 I think cream first is better and is probably the Devon cream tea way. Google images shows it both ways lol with Welsh and Cornish scones having jam first. It's all part of the banter on these rides and food is an important factor to fuel the rides.

[@garysmith70]

Brilliant just what I needed to watch today on the recovery from Covid.Cheers fellas.Great editing yet again Daz.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Hello Gary, this was a great little ride and we planned it the night before in 5 mins. The beauty is that we can then modify the ride to suit, depending on how we feel. Speedy recovery to you pal and see you soon hopefully

[@daveschofield1869]

What a cracking ride Daz

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Cheers Dave.

[@terry9164]

Cracking video again Daz, I think the struggle climb would be a struggle for me 🤪😁 one day I will get up there and try it. I'm with you cream first then jam 🍰☕ 🤣🤣 best wishes 🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️👍

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

I thoroughly recommend that you give this loop or part of it a go Terry and I think you're the first person to agree that you put the cream on first , so thank you for that.

[@JohnDGregory]

The lack of maintenance is showing Daz :-) Looked like an amazing day for it. We did a Dualthlon a couple of weeks ago at grasmere which went to coniston. Superb roads up there too.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Great cables are normally pretty reliable on a road bike John, I'd normally carry a spare cable on the MTB though . They are great roads around there though . How did you get on

[@JohnDGregory]

@@MrDazP1adv3ntures It was fun. Kim did the run and I did the bike ride. Marshaling and signage was poor though and I ended up doing the 40k circuit instead of the 20k. Was a great ride though. We stayed overning at the white horse pub north of grasmere. Awesome pub!

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Nice one John, what was the real ale in the pub.

[@jaywhitney789]

Great ride, you both smashed it up the struggle. But i need to give it to mike 🙌, for getting up their with that gear set 💪. Keep em coming daz love your videos matey 😎🤙

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Cheers Jay, Mike is an exceptional rider when he is fit and he's really found his mojo doing these rides out to so many different places. He keeps on saying that every ride is better than the last one which spurs him on to keep training through the week. I will let him know what you said.

[@OldTimer]

Fair play fellas! Hawkshead hill nails me never mind the struggle (normally have a break in the Golden rule) 😉

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

We did Tarn How on Saturday, that's a little tough climb I can tell ya.

[@TheCoopsvids]

Lovely place Hawkshead stayed at the Queens a few times really nice 👍🏻🚴🏼‍♂️

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

It's just idyllic Old Coops and nice n' peaceful !

Mike will be over the moon with your support Dave, I will tell him that it looks like most people are with him on this one. Thanks for sharing your comments once again pal

[@davidcooper8804]

Thanks for Sharing Daz. Great video compilation of a super ride. Fair play to Mike getting up that climb, what's happened to his Bianchi?

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

This video was filmed in early March David, so the Bianchi was under wraps for winter. My Raleigh Militis is too. However the Bianchi has had a few runs out since so stay tuned. I will be charging the batteries on my best bike shortly now the weather is set to change with Spring on the way ! And as for the climb, it was a corker.

[@gavinpeel6172]

Really enjoyed this one Gavin. There's a lot to be said for cycling in the UK.

Me and my mate Mike are smashing it at the moment. We did our first 160km ride of the season on Saturday . The only trouble is , I haven't been gold panning at all in 2022 😶 I'm on holiday for a few days at the moment and that will be spent painting the bloody fence mate. Always busy. Take care Tazy T

Did`nt get to the end of the video before I had to comment.I`m with mike on this one it`s jam first then splodge the cream on top.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Blinking heck Gary , Mike will love this 😁 If it was butter, you would put it on first and then the jam after , just like with Jam on toast.

[@garysmith70]

@@MrDazP1adv3ntures If it was butter yes you`re correct but its cream so if you spread the cream on the jam has nothing to adhere to and just slids off the cream leaving more of my face and not in me belly.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

There is a science and an art to all of this Gary 😁

Looks like Mike is winning on this one by a country mile Dave, I'm sticking to my guns though about jam on 2nd 😉
