Explore Series 001: Lake District

Nothing beats riding with your mates, setting new challenges and having fun! The unbreakable tripod of Adam Blythe, Johnny McEvoy and Niall Russell go for a ride in the Lake District, while on the search for the steepest climbs, wettest weather and best views around - all powered by the leftovers of last nights curry.

Love it! Proper cycling with your mates - just what riding is all about for me.

[@genesisbikes9049]

Couldn't agree more Dan! Really happy that you enjoyed it.

[@danshaw4689]

@@genesisbikes9049 Exactly why I bought my Croix De Fer. Best bike Ive ever had.

[@thedavelowry]

Great fun video! Super to see Genesis making their own videos. You all look like you had a blast. Roll on the next adventure.

[@chrissyson7952]

Top trip boys, thanks for sharing 👍

[@rockafella06]

Great video, makes me want to ride my Genesis Vapour even more and further into the wilderness.

[@genesisbikes9049]

Perfect, that is the idea! Thanks for the love.

[@leoaraya6228]

This is so cool!!

[@EatsTreatsMREs]

Looked like a whole lot of fun and has made me want to trade my road for a gravel bike now.

[@genesisbikes9049]

Or be really bad and have both! Thanks for the feedback glad you enjoyed it!

[@noreibra8562]

Great video top trip with good friend's

[@gemmawills483]

Awesome video, you all looked like you were having a blast. Great to see what the bikes can handle. Picked up my Croix de fer this week, just need to find some places to ride.

[@ryanbennett4239]

the fugio has been my dream bike for a while now, this paint scheme was the final straw, its on its way :D

[@eekamouseman]

I love my breeze radar expert

[@DerekNewtonKeswick]

I live in Keswick (all my life) and enjoyed the video. My only concern is erosion with more off road cyclists. There has already been issues with paths getting widened by folk social distancing when out walking. Also, the increase in e-bikes may exasperate the problem (if it arises) I saw a couple out on a route the other day & given their shape I don’t think they would’ve managed it without battery assistance.

[@SimonBerry]

Nice video, look forward to the next one.

[@genesisbikes9049]

Thanks Simon! We're thinking a trip to Scotland might be in order :)

[@mikestephens60]

I can’t wait to get out adventuring with my mates next year. This looked great fun!

[@genesisbikes9049]

Thanks Mike, it really was!

[@clipshot100]

best ad I've seen in years. Too bad I already have one ;)

[@audaxgareth6243]

Love it! Great place to ride a gravel bike round there.

[@genesisbikes9049]

Could not agree more!

[@mjohnstonmedia]

Oi oi oi lads lads lads **insert generic, inane lad banter**

[@fuzzyfella]

I was there in September and the weather was awful then too!

[@kurtjurgen]

this looks like the most intense biking area

[@ColdDarkNorth.]

Up past Surprise View where they stop for a brew is a brilliant #deadendclub lane to the tarn at Watendlath. Well worth a ride. Welcome to the #ColdDarkNorth

[@hoggyhoggyoioioi2009]

Would love to see the route for this. Looks awesome.

[@genesisbikes9049]

Thanks Chris, we had a technical hiccup on the day but will share it once we have it :)

[@catpod2006]

Quality video, gotta love some banter on bikes. What’s the name of the red jackets the guys are wearing?

[@genesisbikes9049]

Thanks Chris! They are wearing the Madison Clothing Isoler Insulated Reversible Jacket > www.freewheel.co.uk/madison-isoler-insulated-reversible-men-s-jacket-varmcl19w01

[@daveybaa]

Class vid lads.... more of the same please🤪

[@genesisbikes9049]

Thanks Davey, stay tuned for a new episode in 2021!

[@jonnyparker]

Curry and,..... beers perhaps - hangover giggles? Plus what shorts you all got?

[@genesisbikes9049]

You sound like a man talking from experience! They are new Madison Clothing shorts, coming soon!

[@jeremycornishjc]

What set up is the pink and purple one???? 1x front. And what wheels and tyres.... Size etc

[@genesisbikes9049]

Hi Jerry, you can find the full spec of the Fugio 30 here: www.genesisbikes.co.uk/genesis-fugio-30-vargn21320 The bike Adam rode in the video is a stock build so exactly as you see it on the website.

[@iansellers1251]

GPX File or Strava Link for route anywhere ?

[@genesisbikes9049]

Hi Ian, we had a technical malfunction unfortunately, but we're sending Adam and Johnny back out to ride it again and will share the route when we have it :)
