Helvellyn - Lake District Mountain Biking Adventure

[@paulrichter3081]

The downhill made the bike carrying worthwhile. Nice video 👍 and an extra 👍for Louis for not even being puffed out!

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Yeah. Keeping the descent in mind is always the key! Louis is a trail beast 🤙

[@HUSHHUSH-]

Brutal man . Your endurance just keeps on surprising me. Well done 👍 for the wonderful journey that you took us with you with this video 🤪🤘

[@streetpigeonmtb]

You are too kind bro! Thanks so much for the feedback. So pleased you enjoyed the journey 🤙👌

[@HallMarc_Trails]

I can see the effort that's gone into this, awesome adventure (somewhere i need to visit) superb views, great company and a bit of humour thrown in for good measure, brilliant video mate despite you being under the weather, thoroughly enjoyed this one :)

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Many thanks mate. I put a lot of work into this one. So much footage, so hard to compress it down 👍

[@FlyingMeta]

So scenic and the open trails ask for a bombing down! 💣🔥

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Yeah dude. I always find it difficult to really open up on trails when I'm riding them blind. Mostly because I'm fairly cowardly 😂

[@chris__maltby]

Did the same loop as you earlier this year, except took Sticks all the way back to Glenridding. By far the most technical ride I've done, and that hike a bike up Dollywagon was no joke! Cracking ride.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Yeah. That is a tough old hike a bike!

[@TrailFinder]

nice video mate. going to hit this when the weather improves. had planned to go straight down sticks pass. but loved that single track you turned onto at the end. good stuff 😀

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Awesome mate. That last trail is excellent. Let me know how you get on 🤙

[@ianroberts5387]

Quality vid lad looks epic that walker part🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Thanks mate. That hike a bike was brutal!

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Yeah, the banter with the walkers was class 😂

[@ianroberts5387]

@@streetpigeonmtb on the to do list defo !👌👌

[@DIRTLINEWILD]

I’ve herd a lot about riding in the Lake District glad to see it lives up to the hype

[@DistrictMountainBiker]

Loved this, really need to get out and do some more adventurous rides myself instead of staying in the comfort zone haha! The weather here in the lakes can pretty much do the opposite of the forecast at any given time so just got to keep the fingers crossed when you head out 😂

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Thanks mate. The release of this means I can edit our little adventure next week! Lots of good footage I am sure! Let's get an adventure down your way sorted 👍

[@DistrictMountainBiker]

@@streetpigeonmtb Excited for that one! And yeah I need in on the next lakes escapade!

[@5492sparky]

Stunning. Thats all that can be said Mate. Great job.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Thanks Mark. It was a fairly epic day. I need to ride in England more often!

[@daveridesmtb8172]

Nice, loving the big adventure rides, I really need to do something like this too.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Yeah. They are a great aside from just smashing the trails. It's just finding the time... and a weather window! 👍

[@daveridesmtb8172]

@@streetpigeonmtb yeah that's the biggest problem, all that planning then the weather doesn't play ball, totally worth it when it works out though. Keep up the good work 👍

[@mtbguides_Rich]

Enjoyed that not sure I would of hike a bike up Dollywagon there are easier ways up, it's all so a great decent. Super vid 👍

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Thanks mate. I really appreciate you taking time to comment. Yes, hike a bike is tough, espescially as I don't do it that often!

[@dannyoc3266]

Great video! Keep it up

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Thanks mate. And thanks for guiding my friend 👍

[@itscrazycocotime4518]

Spicy 🤔👍🏻, that's a new one over "jankylicious" or "nadgery" 🤣🤣 !! Nice one though bro 🤙🏻 That coxy's costing me garage a fortune in ramp repairs too !!!! 🤣🤣

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Ha ha. Yeah mate, I'm trying to find some new trail vocabulary to keep folks entertained 😂 Coxy loves a garage ramp 👍

[@mikeep666]

You should come own dollywagon pike next time. It's mental.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Nice. So many options up there!

[@Neph-v5r]

Great Video & wind aside looks like the weather played ball. Helvellyn is my local ride & if you do it again try gaining the summit by going up Keppel Cove zig zags from Greenside mines (Youth Hostel). That way you cut out about 95% of the hike a bike until just below the summit.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Thanks mate. Appreciate the route advice also. I will definitely be down there again 👍

[@Neph-v5r]

@@streetpigeonmtb Ive subscribed to your channel mate, looking forward to more videos. If your ever after any info just give me a shout as I live in the Lakes & regularly ride here & Yorkshire Dales & tend to do my own routes :)

[@streetpigeonmtb]

@@Neph-v5r cheers for the sub and thanks for the kind offer of advice. Will hopefully take you up on it at some point in the future 👍

[@Trailsy]

Sweet, cracking video! 🙂

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Thanks mate. Too much footage collected on this on. Took an age to edit 😂

[@Trailsy]

@@streetpigeonmtb Ha ha, I know exactly what you mean. I do all mine on the phone; it can be a bit of a pain. But the difference is night and day, the quality of your production is great! 👍

[@streetpigeonmtb]

@@Trailsy cheers pal. I used my phone for ages. It's amazing what they can do. I am liking the switch to a PC and editing software now though. Just need to keep progressing my learning with it!

[@christyler4381]

Great edit, looks like quite a big loop!!.. And how are you finding the msc tyres??.

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Thanks man. Yes, I'm into the MSC tyres now. Very tough and great levels of grip. They can handle the Tweed Valley mud which is the main thing for me!!!

[@givemeakidney]

I got some grief from an English lady in the Trossachs a week or two ago about being on a "footpath" with my bike. Did you get any negative reactions down there in the lakes? What's the legal position down south these days?

[@streetpigeonmtb]

I have to say people were good. One or two didn't acknowledge I.e. weren't friendly but everyone else at least said hello. One guy even asked for pictures 👍 I'm afraid I don't know the legal position. I do have mates who ride their regularly so presume it is all good.

[@orangealpine5267]

The last section down Seldom seen is footpath and not legal for bikes, That said, respecting the walkers and farmer is key, go out and enjoy it, but be mindful of others, its a cracking route but do take in to account the weather forecast as the summits are very exposed

[@streetpigeonmtb]

@@orangealpine5267 thanks for the information. Much appreciated 👍

[@orangealpine5267]

@@streetpigeonmtb no worries, glad you had a great ride

[@MTBScotland]

Bit more mellow than the descents up here. Any issues from the walkers?

[@streetpigeonmtb]

Na, the walkers were cool. A few grumpies but also some really positive folks 👍

[@MTBScotland]

Street Pigeon MTB yeah but the grumpies were on the bikes :P
