A road cycling trip to Coniston in the Lake District - I'm a cyclist and I live in the Pennines

[@sophiescyclingandwalkingch4294]

Hi Daz and Mike, great filming and banter as always. I’m with Mike on the scone thing BTW. 12.46 in; that wall to your left was the wall I hit last June, it’s route 700 near Meathop. Which resulted in 6 broken ribs and 5 days in Preston’s trauma unit. Lesson learnt. Recently repeated the route to Grange to extinguish the bad memory. As a kid most of my childhood holidays were spent at a caravan park between Silverdale and Arnside. I didn’t tell my classmates that I only went 15 miles away, fear of being ridiculed, taunted - crazy because they were fantastic and now have wonderful memories of those times with my late parents.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Sounds like a lot of pain you went through Sophie but fair play for facing your demons. I never realised how lovely Silverdale was . I must have had my eyes shut years ago when I visited .

[@sophiescyclingandwalkingch4294]

@@MrDazP1adv3ntures Aye it’s lovely, around there. Every yellow road on the OS map has charm. Working our way towards a century ATM. Got an 80 miler to Hawes planned for Friday. Hope the winds are less than today. At some point we might run into each other 😁

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

It's lovely around Hawes. If you see us out n' about, just shout. I have had 5 weeks off the bike now with a groin injury, god knows what brought it on. Physio tomorrow $$ and hopefully I will start to get back out soon.

[@alanwills4721]

Hope you feel better Daz, There is nothing wrong with going only a few mikes down the road for your holidays, when I go back to my childhood places like Flookburgh, you now see so much more, thanks for your comment Sophie, take care out on the roads, Alan.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Hello Alan , all is well here, I need to start cycling again and build the legs back up. Hope you are well too. I'm not sure what has happened to the weather lately either. We need some sunshine.

[@thefairweathercyclist6521]

Love the way you use the map to show where you are on the route. Great scenery again, hope you enjoyed the ride

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Thanks for the comments, it was a cracking ride

[@paulneale614]

Another brilliant video Daz, you and Mike are a great double act, I also think you should be on TV commenting, you're very good, keep up the fab work

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Thank you Paul, the narration takes me a lot of time because I can't get my words out half the time lol. There's loads of bleeping going on when I'm doing this in the computer room. Mike's a natural jester too. Never a dull moment ....

[@nickhadden2094]

Love these videos. Realising now that Mike is kind of crazy-awesome 👍😀

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Thanks Nick. Mike is like a naughty puppet that you have to put back in a box after every outing .

[@williammiles2241]

Nice to see you on your adventures mr Daz. Love the scenery. Not that I would ever do that distance lol. All best Bill.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Cheers Bill , it's great to be able to ride these long distances but you have invest loads of time training through the week.

[@alanwills4721]

Nice reminder of my ride back in early March, I don't think you can fine better scenery, the dual carriageway from Newby Bridge can be very dangerous and I would advise anyone cycling to stay well clear and take the country lanes even if you have to take a longer ride.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Yes , good point Alan, we nipped on it on the way back down the big descent section for about a mile. We cruised at 45mph with no effort then took the back lanes afterwards. We hardly saw a car all day on the quieter back lanes

[@sophiescyclingandwalkingch4294]

Agree, it’s dangerous the A590. I’ve used Back Lane that goes to Cartmel and then on to Allithwaite I remember it as a lovely relatively quiet route.

[@SteveBrill]

Excellent Daz. You two never disappoint. Great ride and stay safe out there. 👏

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Thanks Steve, I enjoyed this ride but I don't think the video did it any justice, the views are that good.

[@cdwilson12]

Great video again Daz. Arnside is about half an hour away from me it's a regular loop. Can't beat it round that area! If you took a left at the Albion pub in Arnside there's a bit of a climb there if you visit again.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Thanks Cwil, it is a lovely place , I went there for a static caravan holiday about 30 years ago and I never realised how lovely it was.

[@sophiescyclingandwalkingch4294]

It’s an hour to Arnside for me from Heysham. Always takes a bit longer going back because of the prevailing SW winds.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Nice and steady always gets you back at the end of the day Sophie.

[@sophiescyclingandwalkingch4294]

@@MrDazP1adv3ntures had a nice 50 miler yesterday to Knott End, watched the wild camping film with your best mate. Excellent stuff.

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Knott end , nice and flat around there Sophie. My pooch is sleeping next to me right now on another camping break. He's getting old now so is soon shattered.

[@garysmith70]

Another masterclass absolutely loved it and ALi G in da house what more can ya want !!

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Cheers pal, Mike's been dying to do Ali G and on this occasion he got away with it. Hope you are well, I'm off the bike at present, 3rd week in so far, my groin is playing up because of my back muscles !

[@inspiredtotired8369]

Your videos just keep getting better and better. I followed Mike's advice and watched the entire ride in 4K on iPlayer. I can't believe he stacked the Black Pudding on the Scone and ate the lot 😀

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Funny .......Thanks for the fab feedback again buddy. Mike needs his own channel on the red button if you ask me.

I was lucky enough to live in grange over sands for a period of time looking across the bay to Arnside. The South lakes is a beautiful area!

[@jameswestcatapultshooter2571]

You get to some fantastic places Daz and it just makes you realise it's all on our door step a short or sometimes a long drive in a car and we have access to all these wonderful places. Im thinking of attempting my first 100 mile ride this summer

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

The UK has a lot to offer James and I love it. 100 miles sounds like a long way but if you keep on training, it's a really enjoyable distance. Anything is possible in cycling, and let me know how you get on ....

Will do Daz thank you

Thank you James for asking. I've been off the bike for 5 weeks now 😞 and I know my fitness levels will have suffered. I'm starting to feel a bit better and not In pain like I was. I just need to keep doing my stretches and working my groin muscles, ligaments and tendons and what have you. There's no quick fix. The lads did a group ride to Knuttsford on Saturday too. Hopefully I'll be out on some light training rides soon. Chreers buddy.
