Cycling to Johnny Baghdad's cafe in Masham - Im a cyclist and I live in the Pennines

[@nickhadden2094]

Hi Daz, What an incredible video! You are such an inspiration. I totally agree… get out there and experience the raw delights on our doorsteps. Best wishes to you 👍👍

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Thank you so much Nick. Even on the toughest of climbs I always try to smile because cycling takes you to places that are not just physically demanding but also emotionally uplifting. Both Mike and myself have been talking about how we have never enjoyed our bike riding so much. Take care pal and enjoy the warmer days ahead ...

[@paulneale614]

Another great video Daz, superb commentary, lovely scenery and as usual the banter between you and Mike is excellent, looking forward to the next installment

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Thank you Paul, we both enjoyed this one.

[@nickhadden2094]

Been away a while and catching up on your videos. Maximum respect and really enjoyed the vid. Thanks again 👍👍

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Hope you are well Nick, thanks for watching our videos. All the best pal.

[@PW-CreakySaddle]

i just love the feed you guys give yourself :-) that is what i need to work on. Also cream before jam!

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Cheers PW, it's all fuel in the tank to keep the engine going and Yes the cream should be on first ! We are in Dent next which is Cumbria - in the Yorkshire Dales National park ......

[@chrismarshallcook]

Silent 'H' in Masham Daz. Another Yorkshire settlement with an unpredictable pronunciation to add to the list! Looks like a belting ride, thanks for sharing.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

It's so hard to get it right Chris. It seems like everywhere I go there is a place I can't pronounce 😁

[@JohnM-cc6gc]

Another great video Daz. I think I'm going to pinch your route for this Sunday!

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

It's a cracking route John and if the weather is good even better.

[@sophiescyclingandwalkingch4294]

Thanks Daz, a great watch.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Thank you Sophie

[@escorthq5060]

Done a few of those climbs Daz on White Rose and c2c, great video 👍👍

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Cheers pal, yes that's right, a lot of these rides are coast to coast, WOTR roads etc and also parts of the many Yorkshire sportive routes. I do like the trough of Bowland but then I go to the Yorkshire Dales and think the same. I guess we are spoiled for choice.

[@252Scooby]

I can tell that was an absolute belter of a ride . Not easy but rewarding indeed & yes black 🐑 ale we sell that where I work as well as Timothy Taylor’s 🍺

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Mmm, I love a pint of Timmy Taylor's, and yes it was a really good ride. We are now crossing over certain sections up here that lead to the next valley from where we finished previous rides. There's so much of the Yorkshire Dales to cover. It's a vast and beautiful county.

[@davidcooper8804]

Thanks for sharing Daz. Up there with the best of your Videos. Appreciate all the effort and time you must put in to produce quality records. Fair play to Mike for crunching up all those climbs. You pair are Legends, keep them coming. On a lighter note, just come back from Inverness doing the LochNess Etape. Bought two rolls of Grants Black pudding ( Mike will be able to confirm their quality) to bring back. Disaster, left them in the fridge at our last B and B. Does Mike want the address?

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Ha ha thanks David, it's a shame about the Black puddings, I know Mike would have been gutted if he'd have left em in the B&B. I bet you had a great time up there, it's a long way north. The next video is almost done, Coniston next,so be sure to stay tuned for that one. BTW , how did you get on

[@johnjcs1982]

Nice one Daz! Doing the Tour De Manc tomorrow, 100 miles anti-clockwise around 9 boroughs of Greater Manchester, 6700ft of elevation gain 😬. Be nice to cycle around some of your roads. I’ll keep an eye out for you if you are out!

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

I saw the signs on the A680 above the Odd Betts yesterday near Ashworth Valley. Have a great ride John, I'm resting for a couple of weeks at the moment as I've got a groin strain or something going on.

[@johnjcs1982]

@@MrDazP1adv3ntures Thanks Daz, looking forward to it. If there’s any of your videos which I can look at that takes in Marple, Saddleworth, Rochdale, and Belmont I’m going to be keen to view them! I believe the Werneth Low climb is a killer. Sorry to hear you are injured. Fingers crossed you make a quick recovery get back out soon. 🙏🏼🤞🏼

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

I have so many videos all around the local area but it will be like trying to find a needle in a haystack unless you use key words or tag words. In general, most of the hills around here are never too steep and if you are reasonably fit you should be ok John, they tend to be gradual and a bit long. It's the wind that can be an issue because most climbs are quite exposed. Saddleworth moor is nice and that whole area is hilly, you are in the heart of the Pennines in that part off the world . It's also lumpy on the Horwich side long climbs and quick descents .

[@johnjcs1982]

@@MrDazP1adv3ntures thanks for the advice Daz, got round in the end, around 7 hours in all. I managed to watch a couple of your videos around Saddleworth and Upper Mill, cycled past that cafe you stopped at. Some incredible scenery and just an awesome place to ride your bike. 🚴🏼‍♂️

[@SteveBrill]

Fantastic video and mighty impressive stats on the ride Daz. I love the commentary on some of the descents and not for the faint hearted. Stay safe out there you two. 👏

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Thanks Steve, we have taken our rides out to another level lately and are really enjoying these epic days out.

[@AdrenalinePitStop]

You do a fantastic job of documenting these rides Daz, fair play it can’t be easy. Keep up the great work dude 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Cheers Jon, they take weeks to edit which I'm sure you would appreciate.

[@revieboy]

Great ride Daz, we did a very similar ride last year. I remember that climb out of Pateley Bridge, and we also descended Trapping Hill. Cafe stop in Masham too! Mike, great bike, crap tyres 😅- highly recommend Vittoria Zaffiro Pro for those long rides - very rarely had a puncture !

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Cheers pal, we were out this way out on Saturday again, 9000ft of climbing ! I've been using Some great vittoria enduro pro tyres. They make the bike 400g heavier but don't even show the lacerations from debris off the road. Reliability is key rather than performance.

[@revieboy]

@@MrDazP1adv3ntures nice one, lovely area. Yeah for those sort of rides you need reliability rather than race tyres

[@cdwilson12]

Great ride and video again Daz

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Thanks Cwil, it was a proper ride out and well worth the effort going up the big hills .

[@terry9164]

Excellent video and great ride Daz & Mike, enjoyed watching that, they get better and better 👏👏 Just like Mike i was getting punctures often 🙄 on continental 5000 now and so happy with them, I believe Mike is on them now so hopefully he has better luck 🙏 best wishes 🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️😎👍

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Thanks Terry, he has had a good run on the 5000's and I am really liking the Rubino pro endurance tyres too. They are a bit heavier than others but seem bomb proof and corner really well. Both Mike and I are loving our cycling at present, especially getting out to these new cafes a bit further afield

[@bobcansee]

That was a hell of a ride! Wish I could.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

It was a good one Bob and pretty hilly to say the least

[@inspiredtotired8369]

Top quality content as per usual 🙂

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Thank you buddy, we are at Kirkby Stephen next .....

[@Joomes]

I thought Mike had some sausages on that sandwich but when i looked closely it was mike nearly eating his fingers 😂 Great vid again Daz, lovely countryside. Love a black sheep as well. Take it easy mate. Wont be long till you're over on the cheshire plains when its warmer. Cant believe Mike got a puncture.... NOT ! haha

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

We have been hitting the Yorkshire Dales big time James and I can't get enough of it to be honest. It's been a while since I went out into Cheshire too so need to look at getting out there at some stage. If you ever get the chance though, get out over this way pal.

[@jameswestcatapultshooter2571]

Great video Daz 👍🏼

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Thank you James

[@jaywhitney789]

Great video daz, love the detail you go into on your rides it must take a lot of time editing 😎🤙

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Thanks Jay, I do like editing but I can't just sit down and create a video over night. I have to walk away believe It or not to give my mind a break. This one took about 40hrs to put together over a 2 week period or so. The maps can take a while to create in Photoshop too but it's the narration that can be frustrating at times, especially if I've had a glass of wine and my words won't come out 😁

[@adriannorthyorks.470]

Great video, nice to see familiar places. next time you go if you pronounce it "Mass Mmm" you might get extra black pudding ;)

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Ha ha nice one , it's so hard getting these place names correct and thanks for letting me know.

[@AdamBoyes]

Inspired to do a similar route. Do you post on strava?

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Hello Adam, this is something I need to look at and possibly share the gpx file in the description of the video. It's a simple enough route though and I'm a bit old school where I will normally read a map and get an idea of where I need to be on the day. The garmin touring gps I use is actually very good at navigating whilst on the route if I put in a town that is nearby , It will generally find a good cycling route and avoid busy main roads.

[@AdamBoyes]

@@MrDazP1adv3ntures I'm pretty good at route building and appreciated the map that I paused at. The gpx would save time. I did wonder how you were navigating as you seemed to be reading out directions. I did the way of the roses two weeks ago so it was nice to see some of the route I did. I'm yet to edit my video. Have you done a how you edit tutorial? I will check your previous videos.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Hello Adam, how did you get on with the Way of the Roses. It's probably the best ride in England you can do in a day or over a weekend. As for navigating, I like to plan the rides and at least have half an idea where I'm going where as on a group ride, sat in the bunch chatting away, you can pass by many a mile not knowing where you have been or where you are going. I have also started to pre-programme the Garmin, the night before with key villages to head for. You can quickly access them on the home page under recent finds. Can I ask what editing software are you using for your videos Adam

[@phillipmellor8648]

Mr Daz can you not talk Mike into putting some Gator Skins on or is that Bianchi too posh for them, great video thanks very much mate. Will the Edale and Mam Nick video be coming next ?

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Mike has since put some continental GP 5000 tyres on which have performed much better. Personally I agree that Gators are really good for all day riding and would sacrifice a few grams of extra weight for their reliability.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

I am not sure which ride is next up either Phillip, I have quite a few to get through .

[@cassieabhram7089]

nice ride...Swaledale ..my dale ...is even better . do the buttertubs pass into Swaledale . then keld to Richmond ...the best bits..🤠

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

I am falling in love with this area Cassie, it's just gorgeous

[@smichelin19]

Getting a road bike in a few months, cant wait to do what you do!😀. Oh yeah, how do you manage to ride such long distances but i get tired after 8 miles?

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Great news, a road bike will make you feel 10 times faster even if you are only going a few mph more 😁 All I can say is, "chapeau' to you and enjoy this great sport. Let me know how you get on.....

[@smichelin19]

@@MrDazP1adv3ntures Oh yeah if I can't get a road bike, im thinking of converting my 3x7 mtb to a 3x9( hopefully thats possible) and you know i hit 30mph on the flat, what would i be rolling at when im on all max gears?

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Just make sure that your biggest gears are actually different on the 3x9 compared to the 3x7. 3x9 might just offer you a better range or spread of ratios but if the outer chain ring is no bigger and the smallest sprocket on the cassette is the same, you won't be any quicker. I would put slick tyres on a MTB too that will defo make it more efficient.

[@randelscyclevlogperthwa7342]

Doing a great job on the videos. Sorry I'm with Mike, jam on first then cream.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Thank you Randel, the general consensus is that the jam goes on first from many of the viewers, but I'm sticking to my buns on this one and putting the jam on second.

[@bennycrypto3428]

Please make a new gold finding video when you get time they were the best 👍🙏

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Thank you Benny, I do have a panning video to edit actually but I have accrued loads of other videos that will take me some time to get through. The problem is this time of year. I spend too much time outdoors and can't keep up with the editing.

[@bennycrypto3428]

@@MrDazP1adv3ntures I understand make hay while the sunshines! Save the editing for when the rain comes 👍

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Thanks Ben, I will get out with the gold pans at some stage a bit more and I do miss it too There are quite a few channels in the UK out there making content about their gold panning sessions at Our rivers. I think the key is keep them as interesting as possible and to be honest to the viewers such as people like yourself. Take care buddy and thanks once again.

Mas - ham not Mash - ham. And even as a proud Yorkshireman I got it wrong, but never made the mistake again after my wife 'corrected' me.
