Yorkshire Dales MTB @ Horton in Ribblesdale

[@SJ.8103]

I’ve done 2 of your rides so far, this is definitely going on the list

[@peterward8574]

I love your videos and channel and the fact that you drop the gpx's in the description is so helpful. Keep up the fantastic work

[@TrailFinder]

Thanks Peter. I want everyone to have the same fun as me on the same rides. So glad you and everyone else are finding the gpx files helpful

[@SingletrackScene]

The biggest challenge is editing in, so many of these beautiful trails! lovely loop!

[@TrailFinder]

Hi Adam. I try keep my vids around the 15min mark. But like you say sometimes that is so hard to do especially when trying to tell a little story and the scenery is so nice. It’s hard to edit stuff out. You have to be ruthless sometimes. Had 3 hrs of footage on this ride. Cut down to 22 mins

[@SingletrackScene]

@@TrailFinder Exactly buddy.. I always want to keep everything in. :(

[@trailtrackermtb]

Sound quality is perfect no wind noise at all doesn't matter how fast you going awesome. Great ride Andy

[@TrailFinder]

It’s great isn’t it. Audio is king in videos

[@trailtrackermtb]

@@TrailFinder I'm using the 7 black and wind noise is horrendous

[@TrailFinder]

All cameras are terrible with no form of wind cover. Think about recording separately and syncing in post. Extra work. But you can see the end result with my vids. Well worth it

[@ChrisLeadley]

Another great video and that looks like a good ride out, another one to add to my ever growing list!

[@TrailFinder]

Thanks Chris.

[@yorkneytrailrider1751]

Great video as ever Andy, one day I will get to that neck of the woods or moors as in this case

[@neilbower123]

I relate to this completely, because I ride mostly on my own, I've set a on the hour reminder on my Garmin to remind me to eat as I always forget to or think, I'll just get up this climb first...& before I know it, I'm running out of fuel. Going to do this route this afternoon (1/2 day off). Thanks for the .gpx file

[@TrailFinder]

Enjoy. It’s a good one

[@neilbower123]

@@TrailFinder really enjoyed it Andy. Only marred by wicked headwind on rocky lane climb back from furthest point out. I loved the little loop off to the left & that great single track. Would have taken me hours longer had I had to navigate with a map so thanks again for the .gpx route

[@richardbaron2948]

Your videos are great mate. Thank you. 😊

[@TrailFinder]

Your welcome Richard. Thank you for watching 😁

[@dannylilley88]

Looks a brilliant ride ! And those racer bars I take those with me 👌🏻

[@TrailFinder]

I really enjoyed this one. Those racer bars got me around those 31 miles 😂😂

[@Lordyosch]

Great video! Thanks for sharing

[@PACEUK22]

That dude summed up gravel riding perfectly. It doesn’t replace MTB, it just increases the range you can go on mild off road routes. MTB will always be my preferred type of riding but I love doing epic gravel rides too. I recommend one hugely. It would expand your channel massively too.

[@TrailFinder]

I’m very interested I must say. Ribble cycles do some cracking one. Also been looking at extremely light xc hard tails. Love the Scott scale RC. As a fitness bike and long distance.

[@PACEUK22]

@@TrailFinder it’s a tough call between an xc bike and gravel bike. I went for the gravel bike as I also use it for commuting to work(road,canal,gravel route) and it’s brilliant for that. Riding drop bars also makes mundane trails gnarly again 😂 I really miss the dropper though. I might get one for the gravel bike someday . Ultimately I think that if you think you’d be riding a fair bit of road to link up the off road sections, I’d go gravel. However, If you’re mostly riding off road, an xc MTB is probably the way to go.

[@McCaf-1962]

Absolutely everything around the dales is rideable on a decent hardtail and still pretty much as fast on the road sections , you'd struggle on a gravel bike on lots of the gnarly bits.

[@docspuddin]

Cracking loop .. Looks like ive found something to do Sunday :)

[@TrailFinder]

You may see me. I’ll be on bits of that route on Sunday

[@MrJustin8912]

Great content as always, love the XC North Yorkshire rides!

[@TrailFinder]

Thanks Justin

[@mitchwarren1600]

When you responded to me last about the drone footage, I was actually in the Hope valley! Got there early 8.30 What a ride well worth the 2.5 hour journey from Woburn , did the 24 mile KOMOOT loop Heyfield / jacobs ladder beast ride , finished up with fish and chips in Castletown. Loads of riders out lots of great chats with folk ! Loved it got some footage as well !

[@TrailFinder]

Nice one Mitch. How you getting on with the deviate

[@mitchwarren1600]

That Deviate I’ve got so much to say about it . So smooth over the Rocks, to be able to leap into any gear with out pedalling is genuinely a game changer. But all the ebike questions about it , a just brilliant!

[@Stopadoodledoo]

Woburn eh? I used to go to Woburn Sands a fair bit when I lived in Oxford. Really fun place to ride (and I always rated it far higher than the much hyped Chicksands) 👍

[@alanaucote795]

Nice vid as always 👍 Those racer bars are lovely, just to small, nice snack though. That’s my sort of terrain and trails, nothing around here though ( Tamworth ). 😞

[@TrailFinder]

Thanks Alan. When it comes to racer bars I usually have the whole packet. 😂😂 Bummer not having any decent riding local. I’m extremely lucky having the dales /moors and lakes with in an hours drive

[@alanaucote795]

That’s just greedy 😂 My nearest decent play ground is Cannock chase, about 45 mins. away. Yes, I’m green with envy. I’ll have to move….

[@garyfincher2948]

Great vid this Andy 👌🏼 Hope you dont mind me asking your advice. As a Yorkshire Dales virgin, I am deciding which ride would be the best introduction to Dales riding. The two I have in mind is this one and your tour of Pen-y-ghent on July 13, 2019. Keep the great vids coming 👍🏼 Cheers Gary

[@lewis281]

Cracking video, love the channel can’t fault it!

[@TrailFinder]

Cheers Lewis. That means a lot 😁👍

[@windyg5236]

Belter Thanks for sharing 👌

[@slater5214]

nice vid dude had my first ride in the peaks and devil's elbow was awsom got to get back out there

[@TrailFinder]

Thanks mate. Get your self out as often as you can. Not done devils elbow. Will have to check it out

[@thepainterdude1]

nice ride great video and as Scott said did you eat them racer bars Cheers Andy

[@TrailFinder]

Hi Paul. I sure did. And they worked. As you saw. Did 31.5 miles. And still felt good at the end. So important to eat regular on rides. Which I never do until now

[@lesgetsohb9927]

Great looking ride

[@TrailFinder]

And not to difficult considering the distance

[@Stopadoodledoo]

Fantastic video as always mate, the singletrack on that additional loop looked like it made it worthwhile on it's own, never mind anything else. Thanks for the shout out, greatly appreciated. I know where you were sat though... 😂

[@TrailFinder]

As always thanks for the kind words mate. I put a link to your channel in the description. Hopefully a few people click through to you. Every little helps 😁

[@Stopadoodledoo]

@@TrailFinder really appreciate it mate, seen a few subs and an uptick in views today 👍

[@gazbaileyrn]

Cracking ride out !!!! How ace was gravel bike guy 🤙🏻

[@TrailFinder]

Thanks mate. Yeah he was a lovely guy. Was with him a while chatting.

[@mtbguides_Rich]

Great loop, maybe to much tarmac for me, nice vid 👍

[@HallMarc_Trails]

Some lovely trails in this one, i agree with you, cross country rides are my favourite, i like them technical too, great video mate, this is/was TheGibMTB, (I've changed my channel name) 😃👍

[@TrailFinder]

Hi Marc. I’ve just seen your post on your channel. I really like the new name.

[@Lakedistrictrider]

I can see an Aldi Racer Bar sponsorship coming up 😀

[@TrailFinder]

I’d decline it mate. I don’t wana see another racer bar. Told Paula not to buy any for a while 😂.

[@Lakedistrictrider]

Haha, Ive got like that with Nature Valley bars. Bored of eating them. Need to mix it up a bit. I might give Racer Bars a go 🤣

[@Mark_Page_MTB]

Another quality ride :-)

[@TrailFinder]

It was a good one this mark. A good mixture of everything

[@Mark_Page_MTB]

@@TrailFinder just out of interest mate, how long did it take you to get over 1000 subs? It's bloody hard going!

[@TrailFinder]

That 1st thousand is a killer. I was at 100 subs in feb 2019 and hit a thousand sept 2019.

[@Mark_Page_MTB]

@@TrailFinder I'd be more than happy with that😂 over half way, so well on the way. Cheers mate👍

[@TrailFinder]

Your doing well at 605 subs mate. 606 now. As I e just subbed

[@garymartin557]

cracking route

[@leejohns6594]

Good ride mate. What do you think is your best rite in the dales and the North Yorkshire moors thanks.

[@TrailFinder]

Take a look at the Blakey ridge westerdale video. My fav for the moors. For the dales. I love what I call the pen y Ghent ride. Check out both vids

Nice route Andy. Come on tell the truth. You ate the entire pack of racer bars didn't you 😅

[@TrailFinder]

😂😂 I did mate. I actually said to my girlfriend when I got home. “Don’t buy them for a few weeks” 😂

[@sonofsupernova3455]

Haha, just imagine bumping into somebody in such a beautiful place and spotting a johnny hanging off their chest. Good grief.
