[@michaeldenton2581]

Another one of Andy’s Classics mate. Brutal, but what about those views 😎👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@gawa62]

Cracking video Paul, you missed me as I wormed my way to the front at the start.Hopefully bump into you on another Audax. 💪🚴‍♂️👍

[@Bijou-Bob]

That looked like a tough day out 💪💪fair play to you both. The new Giant looks the part too👍

[@seanmorris1103]

That looked like a hell of a ride!

[@oddknack]

[@fuzzylogic1887]

That looked stunning 🤩

[@sammm700]

driving over from NI to do this in March. Not sure i'm glad i watched this now!

[@SaddleSore]

See you there. Fingers crossed for good weather. And with a bit of luck the hills won’t be as steep this year!

[@IanGarside]

Check out the handsome guy in the Cappuccino Cycling Club top at 32 seconds in - that's me 🤣 What a tough day in the saddle that was.

[@SaddleSore]

Handsome? Hmmm. 🤪

[@IanGarside]

@@SaddleSore I use the term loosely 🤣

[@samuelthompson5094]

I was going to say something pleasant along the lines of ‘nice to ride with you bla bla’, but may reconsider after those sneaky comments behind my back at the start! Is monster a compliment or insult?! Nah, was a great day out and your company was always entertaining. Catch you again soon. ps I’ve liked & subscribed as promised 😆

[@SaddleSore]

It was great to meet you Sam. Thanks for subscribing, and for pulling Damian and me around the Dales!

[@WheelersAtLarge]

Is he in the van..? He is! Bike ride time...👍

[@SaddleSore]

It’s all very predictable! Maybe next time I’ll do my introduction from Inside the fridge.

[@WheelersAtLarge]

@@SaddleSore and prove the light goes off when the door is shut... Or does it?

[@philb9495]

You doing signed copies of the Special Paul Jennings edition of Arrivee 😂

[@SaddleSore]

Yeah… how much do I have to pay you to take one?

[@LakeDistrictcyclist]

Hi what was the hill you climbed around the 5:30 mark, cheers 😊

[@SaddleSore]

Top of Park Rash!

[@LakeDistrictcyclist]

@@SaddleSore thank you

[@C345OFR]

I like how you warn of bad language incoming but more often than not we're instead treated to lessons on how to do the perfect dirty telephone call (e.g.10:00). Mercifully, I'm ex-directory!

Hi Paul, from the way you were wheezing on the climbs must have influenced you on the day following your cold. Though the footage did highlight how steep the climbs were, brutal to say the least! What camera do you use, because the clarity did illustrate the splendour of the Dales and your right Damion does appear to be a strong climber though with your descending skills it evens it’s self out. The way you’re both going theses big miles you’re putting in, will set you up for BGB in June! I look forward to all your escapades it’s inspiring and enjoyable. Thanks, and best regards South/Shrop Dave.

[@SaddleSore]

Hi Dave, thanks for your message. It’s a GoPro Hero 9… works well when there’s plenty of sunlight to illuminate the job! As for Damian being stronger on the ups… I’m going to fill his pockets with rocks next time to slow him down!

[@totalrepawns]

what gear ratio you guys using for audax ?

[@SaddleSore]

50-34 and 11-34 sometimes 11-32

[@totalrepawns]

@@SaddleSore was thinking as much no country for 52/36 11/28 qrings 😂

[@darranwilson7740]

[@SaddleSore]

Pffft. Not a single one.
