[@BOTG_Adventures]

Have you ridden at the Sutton Bank MTB Paradise Trail? #mtbvideos

[@DizRidesMtb]

No . but its goin on mi list now 😎

[@danmorrison667]

Did this ride last year, thought it started off well, but the back end was a bit of let down with all the climbing and gloopy mud....might give it another go though when it's drier.

[@BOTG_Adventures]

@@danmorrison667 Kind of agree.

[@MrSugar1730]

Yep last spring it is a 10 out of 10 has the lot in my eyes very enjoyable 👍

[@AIex16]

yes that's why I watched this. Not going till summer 2023

[@paul0gb]

Nice might try this and Wetherby Red Kite soon

[@carolduncan8833]

I just watched this video twice... still not getting bored any time soon

[@BOTG_Adventures]

Ah thanks :)

[@VikSkiKat]

Almost every time I see EMBT riders out on trails. They look pissed off. Or just in a mood. But when I see MBT riders. They are always smiles for days.

[@BOTG_Adventures]

Not me or the Patreons. We always chat to other bikers. They are a good bunch.

[@stevehoward985]

Just watch your Sutton Bank video for the fifth time and I'll probably watch it again tomorrow. I'm going this Friday to check it out, it looks to have everything I want in a good XC ride. There's nothing better for me than to ride an unknown trail and think ''oh yer' I remember this bit in the video. 👍

[@BOTG_Adventures]

It's a great ride. stop off for coffee at the farm. 1 big hill but you'll smash it.

[@Kargola11332]

Look up Boltby, alot of great x country routes in there, its about 4 mile north of the bank

[@BOTG_Adventures]

Are u on an eeb? Last part is bit of a climb. There are 2 other videos of same place on channel. Somewhere..

[@JittyLaRoot]

Awesome video mate. Glad your enjoying your new bike. And that ride looked awesome 👍

[@SteYoung]

Maaan, that looks like a great ride. Just the kinda thing I enjoy and your vids make it a great watch too Andy! Hope them ribs are healing alreet!

[@BOTG_Adventures]

Great fun.

[@davse-bikeadventures1892]

Looks a belting ride might have to jump on this 🤔

[@BOTG_Adventures]

Be ace on an eeb, as the 2 climbs would be nothing.

[@MrWombat1975]

Loving the alpine 6 and that ride looks great, coming down to Yorkshire in August, hopefully give that ride a go

[@BOTG_Adventures]

Thanks think you will enjoy it.

[@djc226]

As always Boots, another great video!

[@BOTG_Adventures]

Ty.

[@peteyrs]

Just done this route this morning, bloody shattered !

[@BOTG_Adventures]

But did you enjoy it?

[@peteyrs]

@@BOTG_Adventures The views are off the scale but the big hill nearly killed me. Great video, I’ll be looking through some more for inspiration.

[@MrHusky81]

Done this ride myself in the middle of summer 25plus degrees and set off unprepared with minimal fluids it wasn’t good Managed to get round just but next time will stock up on fluid Looks like you took enough 😁

[@BOTG_Adventures]

Did you not stop at the Farmhouse and have a drink? I did as when I did Barden Moor day before ran out of water half way round.felt aweful.. and massive head ache.

[@NTLife]

Great video as always. This is a lovely trail. We stopped in a holiday cottage last year about a miles before the k2 climb. I persuaded the wife to ride this route with me on our ebikes, 😂🤣😂🤣 She hated it 🤣, she's refused point blank to go on a technical trail since. Personally I really enjoyed it. I have to say it's reassuring that you couldn't get up k2 without pushing either. The rest of the route is great, and the café is excellent, even had a real ale when we were there!

[@BOTG_Adventures]

Did you do blue trail as well? and thank you.

[@NTLife]

@@BOTG_Adventures yes we did the blue later in the week, when she was talking to me again! There's a video of it on our channel. She quite liked the wide bits.

[@stevehoward985]

Looks an amazing place to ride a bike, glad to hear you've enjoyed your mtb day out. The green grass and the lighting has made a good video even better, it's now on my list of places to go. Keep up your Cadence.👍🌄😎

[@BOTG_Adventures]

Thanks Steve, was a beautiiful ride, the 2 uphills are a little tough but thats Sutton Bank for ya, even driving up the hill to the Visitors center was 25% climb in car.

[@donnyladmtb25]

I was looking at this place on line and was in 2 minds whether to go here on my way back from Whitby or go Dalby. I was gonna go DAlby until I watched your video. I will be taking the E-B and looking forward to it. Cheers mate. Another great vid

[@BOTG_Adventures]

Its a ride of 2 halves, great realxing trails, then nice downhill.. then a bit of a slog (easy on emtb) you might even ride it twice.

[@donnyladmtb25]

@@BOTG_Adventures I be making a video of it and posting it. Not in your league with these videos though lol

[@BOTG_Adventures]

Dont be daft, I dont make MTB videos anymore. Go for it.. grow ya channel! @@donnyladmtb25

That is a big loss for us bikers not having you do MTB vids btw Cheers again@@BOTG_Adventures

Two loafs ride that mate hahahaha, and I'm still a subscriber even if it's not on Heidi mate!!! 👍

[@scottmo31]

Hi mate I hope all is good. Just wanted to say well done for not giving up on mountain bikes. After your emtb troubles. I’ve had it too bike went in for a new motor January got it back on Thursday used it daily then Monday I hit a tree tore off derilier had to walk back 6 mile. But still love it so much.

[@BOTG_Adventures]

6 mile walk pushing an eeb?? Dam sorry to hear that ;( tnink of the excerise ;)

[@SingletrackScene]

......" and on this side, I think this is going to be.... grass"..... is that Farmer talk? Looks a really nice loop! Thanks for the vid!

[@BOTG_Adventures]

Didnt want to get into Mulch and Lime spreading discussion ha ha.

[@TubbyMTB]

Now then Boots. You’re in my neighbourhood there. Glad you found paradise. There’s an option to make the route easier but still enjoyable, just missing out the mud fest and the beast of the climb that is K2. Park respectfully in Boltby Village and make your way to the gate at the start of the fire road climb up to Sutton Bank Visitors Centre. Then follow the route as usual all the way to the rock garden descent towards Kirby Knowle. Once at Kirby Knowle, just ride the roads back to Boltby. You’ll miss out the K2 climb (think you called it Boltby Bank) but that climb is a hellish mud fest 10 months of the year, even on an eeb. It’s only around 2 1//2 miles of tarmac but it’s a dead quiet road with amazing views and well worth doing instead of that hellish climb

[@BOTG_Adventures]

I kinda of liked the pain when it was all done ;)

[@paulannable3734]

Promised myself I’d do this trail this spring on my EMTB when I saw your video six months ago… just got back! You’re right, it’s sooooooo enjoyable. My eyes have been out on stalks all day with those views and the Bosch ate up those climbs.

[@BOTG_Adventures]

The climb back up sucks a bit :) but still enjoyable and so many different terrains.

[@SwearyCyclist]

Blanchland & the Carrier Way trail up near Stanhope would be right up your street.

[@BOTG_Adventures]

I'll Google it thank you. Ya been out riding this weekend?

[@samuelweightman]

Just started watching you. Getting back into mountain biking. If you wanted to do something different. Where you went though the gate after leaving the wood where you start to descend into boltby. You could go past the gate and you'll come to a crossroad road go right as doubling back on your Self this will take you to a monster of a descent. Into hawnby there's a little coffee shop there. It's road back up to the top of Sutton bank big claim back though

[@BOTG_Adventures]

Ah thats great to know thank you, Coffee and cake are my mtb weakness lol. Good to hear your getting back in mtb riding, good on ya.

[@charliebuoy]

I fairly regularly do it on a gravel bike, though I tend to avoid the rocky section through the woods!

[@BOTG_Adventures]

First half is great, 2nd half is a slog back up.

[@paulwilson50]

Looks sweet Andy.. defo be up for that one this year.. maybe give you some tips on riding in the gulleys too.. Nice off..

[@BOTG_Adventures]

I was trying to turn camera off lol hard riding 1 handed. ;p

[@jasonfraser3572]

That looks a great ride dude, shame im 400mils North of you.

[@BOTG_Adventures]

That's alonnnggg drive.

[@shirleycarter9210]

Went yday got lost. Kept going backwards round the trail after the farm at the start @1:45 .. or back to the trail centre. Did 16mile looking for it before the rain picked up so I just left it there. But I believe I missed a right turn shortly after hitting a corner at the bottom of this fencing. Anyway never mind just wanted ti ask if I had missed any jump sections. Is there any propa sends in this trail ? And did 13mile in dalby few days back was not really 'my thing' either 😅. Just seemed to climb forever !!

[@BOTG_Adventures]

1.45.. Ya got lost? You turn right and go through the gate there is sign on the gate if I remember. Jumps? No not at all. I did mention its a great chilled Sunday xc trail. Think enjoyable rather than demanding. I will go again as first ride back on the bike and see where ya went wrong.

[@matthewross244]

Another great video, glad the traditional mtb is impressing you! Did the sound cut out towards the end, got the bit about sticking to 11 speed - think your were then going to talk about the front end… might just be my phone cutting out.. Anyway looking forward to the next adventure!

[@BOTG_Adventures]

Thanks Matt, yes it cuts out, weird its fine before the upload, youtube glitch in the matrix. Cheers mate.

[@david1519]

I had a nasty crash on the approach to that gate at 11.11, smashed my face and teeth really bad about 10 years ago! It looks like nothing on your gopro footage! Don't know if the trails been sanitized since I rode it?. I would have been fine if I'd been wearing a full face lid! What sort are you using and does it get too hot on xc rides?

[@BOTG_Adventures]

Fox Pro frame helmet. Not ridden for nearly 3 years.

[@markbuttery2790]

Nice video, Have you thought of getting the ultra light E Bikes , i have one and they are incredible down and help on the up.

Is it me or does sound cut off near the end?

[@BOTG_Adventures]

it cuts off mate. youtube glitch.

Hi. Enjoyed watching your video. Iv done the blue route but not all of the red. I'm going to give it a go when it's better weather. I love it at sutton bank. Been a few times. Iv done from paradise farm to silton forest. That's a nice ride. Hope you enjoy watching my videos and subscribe would be great or a thumbs up.

[@BOTG_Adventures]

oi oi. The first half of this trail is def better than the last part where it is all up hill. But it is a great introduction for people who don't usually ride XC and only ride trail centers and bike parks.

[@DizRidesMtb]

Wat about callin it Olive 🤗. Grest vid dude great ridin n fallin off LOL. Looks awesome bro. I jst NEED a lift tho hahaha. Can i do these on Ht 🤗 ps wats it like if i go on a Dh tho 😂😂. N u can be both. An MTB & Eeeebb rider .

Oilive lol. Yes can ride on a HT no bother at all. First half would be great on a DH bike, the last quarter there a few uphills, in fact a DH bike would be massively overkll.

Have fun! it is a great trail, its not the longest, and there is one section 3/4 thorugh climb that stinks.. struggled on the eeb as well, but its only 100 ft or so. the last section is a bit of a slog. KZbin glitch on audio. Its a good ride as ya cant get lost.
