Englands hottest Enduro destination keeps getting better!

[@pmacfto]

Credit to the builders - amazing trails. Nice to see exposure of these lesser known places and rides from your area generally. Great riding from both of you too. Really enjoying your vids - becoming a new favourite behind McTrail Rider and Street Pigeon's of the YT world.

[@MindfulTrailBiker]

Thank you very much for the very kind words! Its very high praise indeed putting the channel in the realms of channels that we aspire too. It’s a tremendous riding spot, I will be spending more time there for sure! Thanks again!

[@pmacfto]

@@MindfulTrailBiker My comment was getting a bit long but I missed out that I love to show my wife the ride vids you do with Lindsey as I am trying to get her to share my hobby - but she is scared of the Greens at Glentress never mind anything else :p Luckily my son and I ride the same sort of stuff as you!

[@MindfulTrailBiker]

@@pmacfto I love a long comment, my replies tend to be on the lengthy side 😂 Its great that your lad rides with you and awesome that he’s at such a high level. Our youngest used to ride with us until just before I started the channel which is a shame, he’s mad on football now and just isn’t interested in bikes. We are planning a “get your other half into MTB” edit though it may be spring before we release that as we want to plan it properly and record it thoroughly and completely. Not sure t will help but were hoping it will inspire. It took about 4 years to get Lindsey up to Golfie standard and it wasn’t a linear progression - but really Wirth it, love riding with her and Hugo!

[@Bloody_Nora]

The Gift 👌, great video and riding mate 👍 and all the best to Lindsey 💪

[@MindfulTrailBiker]

Hell yeah, awesome track. Thank you 🙏 and kidney says thanks very much, she’s a bit nervous but I’m sure she’ll smash it 💥

[@mavamatics]

What an awesome days riding, them trail over there so good. Felt better on the short travel 29er than the full enduro so much fun and more to be discovered can't wait for next ride up there.

[@MindfulTrailBiker]

Awesome day brother! You were smashing it dude and big respect for the climbing efforts buddy! 🙌

[@Coolcmsc]

Brilliant video of a fantastic spot. Glad to see you mucked up that right hander on ‘Giving’; I’ve still not worked it out 😂

[@MindfulTrailBiker]

Haha.. yep, I’m defo gonna get it next time 😅 thanks dude! 🙏 appreciate the kind words! 🙌

[@readikus]

Awesome. You're smashing it with the videos - nailing the sort of stuff I want to ride.

[@MindfulTrailBiker]

Ah man! Thank you so much for the positive vibes dude! Much appreciated! MTB is an incredible sport that gives so much to those that peruse it! It’s changed my life and I want to share and inspire as many as possible!

[@readikus]

@@MindfulTrailBiker absolutely! I sent this video to my mate that I’ve been trying to persuade to give Win Hill a ride, rode with him last night and he said “I really liked that dude in the video! He was our sort of age and really loving riding his bike!”. And he’s keen to go.

[@MindfulTrailBiker]

That means a lot, thanks buddy! 🙏

[@MTB_Derbyshire]

The trails up there are first class. Great riding and yep ive taken a right at the log drop. Annoying when others make it look so easy 🤣. To be honest i avoid that other section you paused at on the middle trail too 🤣🤣

[@MindfulTrailBiker]

Cheers man!! Yeah I honestly thought I would do it this time but didn’t fancy it again. Reckon it’s doable I when it’s double dry! 😅 the other bit I had done on my first trip but it looks to have got a bit gnarlier this time. Fairly low consequence low speed etc if you get it wrong. Cheers for watching dude, we need to get a ride out sometime 👍

[@MTB_Derbyshire]

@@MindfulTrailBiker get in touch next time your thinking of coming over this way 👍

[@MindfulTrailBiker]

@@MTB_Derbyshire yeah will do. Im wondering if you have an all weather loop we could do? guessing the tracks in the woods will start to deteriorate as it gets wetter and colder.

[@MTB_Derbyshire]

@@MindfulTrailBiker the classic all weather loop is Jacob's ladder. You done that?

[@MindfulTrailBiker]

@@MTB_Derbyshire I haven’t. Always wanted to though, count me in.

[@chunkyantmtb]

Some great trails on Win Hill! Awesome vlog dude! 👍

[@MindfulTrailBiker]

Thanks a million dude! much appreciated! its such a great place to ride, takes me a few runs to warm up but ace riding and for me just over an hour away!

[@stu.c]

Coincidentally I was over there a couple of weeks ago, riding those same Win Hill steeps for the first time with some mates for whom it's their local. On the same bike as you, and you & I stopped to consider our life choices at pretty much the same points on each trail 😅 Like you I wasn't feeling it for that log drop on the day, but gotta say you took that steep twisty second half of The Gift way better than I did...

[@MindfulTrailBiker]

Haha.. we’re bike brothers, I like it! They’re awesome trails aren’t they. I do need to smash that log drop at some point. Cheers man, I definitely warmed into my riding that day, was a bit rusty early on! Always better to consider life choices than delete them 😂

[@MrsMindfulMTB]

Great video again hubby and thanks for the shout out ❤❤

[@MindfulTrailBiker]

We miss you on the trails - come back soon!

[@MrsMindfulMTB]

@@MindfulTrailBiker you know I can’t wait 😍😍🚵🏻‍♀️🚵🏻‍♀️

[@jbss7382]

Good luck with the marathon Lindsey🤞🤞🤞👌👍🙏🙏🙏

[@MindfulTrailBiker]

@@jbss7382 thank you very much! 🙏

[@MrsMindfulMTB]

@@jbss7382Thankyou, very nervous but excited to get it done (hopefully) 😅😅

[@TrailRevel]

Nice video, should help to figure out where trails are next time (in a dry spell), only tried a couple of trails in the woods so far, with very little off piste experience at the time, some of it kicked my ass 😂 The descent down to Hope great fun though and with the fun rocky bridleway descents around same area can make for a varied day out

[@MindfulTrailBiker]

Indeed lots of variety and all brilliant! They’re definitely techy for sure and much harder in the wet but give them a bit of respect and they’re very rewarding. I may do a beginner guide if I can get a bit more familiar with the tracks

[@dexterincognito]

Really good vid. Subscribed. I need to hit them.

[@MindfulTrailBiker]

Thanks brother, appreciate it dude! A day in win hill is always a good day! 🙌

[@NoobMTB]

Good vid again pal. Gutted we couldn't get up to join you whilst conditions are prime. Next time though 🤙🏽

[@MindfulTrailBiker]

Thanks buddy! There’ll be plenty more opportunities. We needed an early start to make the most of it. Just about got Mav home in time for work

[@MTB_Trekker]

Great stuff mate, not been here for a while, as its usually sloppy af! Looks like you had good conditions 👍🏻 Some proper good trails there too.

[@MindfulTrailBiker]

Conditions were spot on really, little bit of grease but all good, imagine it’s a slip fest in the depth of winter and best not ridden really for conservation purposes!really good trails though!

[@MTB_Trekker]

@@MindfulTrailBiker 100%

[@rhettetherington1351]

Great video. Pretty local to me. I must get up there and give it a go. Do you reckon they're do able on a good hardtail? Are they easy to find? Good luck to Lindsey with her marathon.

[@MTB_Trekker]

Been a few times on a hardtail, well worth it.

[@alex__rides__bikes]

Where abouts in Shropshire are you going to ride? There is so much especially if you like some steeps 👌

[@MindfulTrailBiker]

Hi mate. I’m leaving that in the expert hands of our local guides. There’s seems to be a lot of choice and much deliberating but will likely include eastridge 👍

[@MTB_Derbyshire]

​@@MindfulTrailBikerjust come back from a week in Shropshire. Amazing stuff. Did the long Mynd, Stiperstones and Eastridge over three days. It nearly did me in by the end but loved it. Eastridge has some really nice stuff. 😎

[@MindfulTrailBiker]

@MTB_Derbyshire sounds ace! Me and Lindsey have done long mynd a couple of times and really enjoyed it, the rest is all fresh so looking forward to it! 👍

[@jbss7382]

Hello mate, Totally agree about battery conservation Nduro 8 free ride and Yamaha px23 motor; 5 ride modes. The other weekend did 29.8 miles around Brandon Thetford forest and in trail mode and economy plus 45% left at the end. So I reckon around nearly 60 miles with 100% usage! That’s MAD! 720watt battery and 85nm full torque on max setting His Banshee is a sick colour. Which particular model is it? Thanks Jonathan

[@MindfulTrailBiker]

Hi Jonathan, I was really surprised how economical it was. I was putting more effort in but it was still very easy. The temptation is to climb very fast and then eco mode feels like your doing all the work. If you slow down it feels like plenty assistance. The bungee is a “prime”. Mav proper shreds it too. 👍

[@MindfulTrailBiker]

Banshee*

[@mavamatics]

Its a Banshee prime v2 29er, felt spot on for thous trails enjoyed it more on my prime than my full banshee run enduro.

[@shannonmtb]

Quality ladybower and only been once... 👍

[@MindfulTrailBiker]

Re-visit on the cards!

[@shannonmtb]

Never done the last trail tho looks quality

[@MindfulTrailBiker]

Yeah, its a cracker that one, takes you back to Hope!

[@GoingDownhillMTB]

There's not a lot on Trail Forks - you got any GPS, or tips for finding these trails?

[@MindfulTrailBiker]

There is a blue run on trailforks called Win hill to ladybower reservoir that’s the first run in the edit - turn left and follow the wall. you’ll see the start of the 2nd and 3rd run in the edit. turn left at the bottom and follow the path - all the other runs are on the other side of the woods. You will see a local at some point and can ask for some directions.

[@stubestrong]

its good but not at the level of inners/golfie or Laggan & fort william offpiste

[@MindfulTrailBiker]

Yeah Scotlands on another level but I think it’s possibly the best England has to offer. Will certainly keep searching for better. 👍

[@stubestrong]

@@MindfulTrailBiker you need a local contact in the lakes, some great trails off the beaten track whinlatter or grizdale areas

[@MindfulTrailBiker]

@stubestrong I’ve rode a fair bit off tracks around them areas but not filmed much yet. Kinda list my way a bit after the storms took out some of the tracks on the coniston side. Not easy to film either, if an edit does well it always attracts comments about rights of way etc
