EPISODE #36
I’m off on another adventure, this time I go on a road trip up north… Firstly I go to visit my friend and fellow tattoo artist Mitch (Sneaky Mitch) in Leeds. This is where I spend the first two days of my trip, tattooing a customer one of the days and then I get tattooed by Mitch the other. If you want to see my in pain, you’ll want to see this… haha!
Then the third day of my trip I head to the yorkshire dales, going on a wonderful 100km route (planned by cold dark north) taking it a great selection of climbs and amazing scenery from the dales.
00:00 – INTRO
00:31 – OFF ON AN ADVENTURE
02:45 – TATTOO GUEST SPOT
04:55 – ON THE RECEIVING END
10:02 – YORKSHIRE DALES (100KM RIDE)
22:53 – OUTRO

Love your videos my friend! Would be an absolute adventure to cruise that countryside! Enjoy!
Great Video as always. Are they Oakley glasses you have on? Need some for the summer…..
I absolutely loved that vid. The dales look incredible. I recall watching the tour pass through there and hearing all about the constant up and down.
I am off to Umbria in a few weeks for my own cycling adventure. That will be the 1st time I have ridden outside of the Vancouver area. I expect my legs to hurt and to keep freaking out about the views. Cheers.
caught myself thinking "thatch!" in that intro… haha
We need to do this again in the summer!
Congrats on 457 days sober! Well done. I am going to be visiting family in May in Stoke-on-Trent and will try to get a couple of rides in with my brother-in-law and his mates. Hopefully they will have mercy on me and not punish me too badly. Great video, top shelf work.
🤙👌
Lovely positive vibes. If you don’t wanna jump on your bike after watching this, you may as well sell it! Wishing you a speedy recovery to full fitness… Thanks for the vids 👍👌
that route looked insane
Great vid, just found your channel yesterday – really well edited man. Subscribed! I've just had my second tattoo done and I've been told not to exercise with it healing for at least 3 weeks – you seem to be okay lol Should I just get on my bike? It's been a week!
I know the sensation off a headt tattoo mate ! oh dear I'm willing to suffer soon maybe 🙂
Great video mate. I have enjoyed all your videos so far, keep up the good work. Quick question, I notice you have the AirPods in whilst giving it beans out and about. I have been tempted to wear mines outside on the bike, my main concern and worry is an obvious one, the fear incase it comes flying out whilst on a ride. Have you experienced this? I’ve wear them on the turbo and I feel like they work themselves free and pop out the ear.
I laugh at the fact that all these places you mention are most likely also cities/towns in New England, yet they are so different.
Awesome as ever , I’ve got 100mile sportive this weekend coming but all I want to do after watching your vids is go and smash a ride out fast as fuck
yep. ive pretty much covered that route . fantastic roads that i use most weeks in summer👌. note. i think fleet moss is the hardest of the main three climbs you did (and in the whole dales); followed by park rash. but both have the most amazing descents after.
if you come back, check out malham cove and pateley bridge in the south dales. just as good.
Super video fella. This popped up on my feed. Great production and that looked a stunner of a route 👍😊
Is that Meanwood in Leeds?
👍
Sometimes the data can be a negative factor – like you don’t always need to be full gas 25mph everywhere nor do you need to explain why your not mate 🙂 great video as always – have you done a build/review of the supersix or a comparison with the oltre?
Nice ..
How do you keep consistent and keep up with the group ? And keep the power consistent? Though the whole route ? Any advice would be greatly appreciated keep up the great videos
Welcome to Yorkshire, my home county, with some proper hills unlike those bumps in Essex
They do say its better up North…… and are you a Raiders fan? or do you just like the cap?
How badly do you need to train to do rides like this fancy a trip up there to try some of those rides myself
Love this area! Hiked a bit up there, but deffo need to take the RB for a little jaunt. Thanks for a cracking vid 👍👍👍
"Look at this" I say the exact same thing multiple times when I'm riding in the dales. I know where you're coming from.
Thoroughly enjoyed watching this great little channel you've got looking forward to checking out more of the content! Love the tats too!!
this music is so chill
Picked up my very first road bike today, thank you for the inspiration mate 💥🫡
Nice channel. How do you store your bike in the car with the rear wheel off? Do you use anything to protect it? Thanks.
Travis Barkers Cycling twin 😅🤘
