Lake District 100 (almost)

[@ianmatlock1]

Very impressive ride. Pouring rain and no rain gear. Clearly a Yorkshire hard man 😄. I've struggled to drive up Hardnott in the past, never mind cycle it. If you stop on there for a car you'll never get started again. I'm only just getting back into cycling in my 60's and can only wonder at routes like this.

I don't mind wet, it's cold that I don't like. Yorkshire pudding more like 🤣. Thanks for watching. Good luck with your cycling.

Love it! Keep up the good work!

Thanks for watching 👍

Super effort Simon..I was hunkering down in my lounge watching you getting soaked time after time. Double Kudos today! 👏👏👍

[@Cyclingpsyman]

Thanks, it was a bit wet!

@@Cyclingpsyman Understatement of the year! 🤣

Fair play for getting out there in that weather. I just cannot face setting out if i know it will rain.

[@Cyclingpsyman]

Thanks, I was quite stoic about getting the ride done regardless. Besides, I'm getting used to being soaked 🙃

What a v̶e̶r̶y̶ ̶n̶i̶c̶e̶ ride that was. Well, the route was nice anyway. I have not yet commited to riding in actual rain yet. If I get sprinkled on a bit I'm good, but not ready for full-on showers. However, I might be tempted to trade your warm rainy weather for the 100F+ with 15% humidity conditions here in Boise.

🤣 Thanks for watching. I don't go out in heavy rain generally, but I only had that day so made the most of it. It made the post ride beverage all the more rewarding!

Fantastic route, shame about the weather 😊

[@Cyclingpsyman]

If you wait for the weather you'll wait a long time, as you know too well. Thanks 😊

Shame about the GoPro battery, are you using the 'Enduro' batteries with a white top? IME they last 2-3 X longer than the original blue-tops. Some great climbs on this circuit and you returned via the Ennerdale Bridge to Calder Bridge route I mentioned on your previous video. Nice.

[@Cyclingpsyman]

My battery is the blue top one. It gives up the ghost in the cold, then you plug it in at home and it has 60% in it! I'll try an Enduro one for the coming winter, thanks. Thanks for watching and commenting. I'm enjoying your channels, great humour.
