needed isn’t it yeah been looking forward to this for the last my half hour at least probably more if I’m being honest some food what’s this I speak is a go got a play list Hills mostly dance stuff stuff be fa that was needed so how far do you think we’re away from trapping Hill thinking this way for about 8 n miles something like that okay right so we got 8 or n miles to get our legs prepared for it then NY downhill before that we set it easy okay green descend that really easy yeah we’ll have a tail wi going up trapping hill Oh wonderful just what you want yeah and battling into a not very strong but Blockhead wind cuz we’re quite high up now the past 20 30 minutes hope rewarded with some flat downhill looks like I’m getting my wish exactly what the doctor ordered he’s going into greenhound now here they are again stop meeting up like this it’s not working that block headwind yeah a little r here then it’s down the dangerous right okay beautiful beautiful look at the size of them jeez never seen a cow like that it’s almost like it’s got a belt of sheet fur on interesting there you go steep downhill on your right got just a bit we’re 42 miles in nearly at the halfway point uh a mile or two out from the main event trapping Hill looking forward to and equally dreading dreading after yesterday’s big ride in The Dales as well car crash Fleet Moss Gale Hill Gale head even and noron Bank Road days like that today I’m really glad I’ve got my 30 at the front a 42 at the back on the cassette CU is going to be no fast time at that plan today just stopping before the uh the big climb snacking up and then we’ll get going get ready for the supper Fest ready for it Dave yeah right quick snack done change the batteries and off we go up trapping hill sign for loft house there that’s where the hill is oh yes right we’re into loft house now we’re in the danger zone we are in the danger zone think this is it unsuitable for goods vehicles and buses yeah that’s normally a hill all right so trapping Hill just under 2 miles long can’t remember the average by note Max is out about 177% so it’s going to get a bit spicy at some point you ready for it Anna no well if that’s not motivation and what is the Sheep sign don’t you think up there looks a little bit like the Windows XP screen saver oh [Music] [Music] yeah guys this is Dragon you ain’t going to get many better views than that there’s that Reservoir over there to the right we went past earlier nice bit of shade [Music] one mile left halfway there oh some kind tarmac the legs are happy think I can see the summit the distance over there you can see Dave in the distance there Miles Ahead probably a good half a mile ahead at least see an now third of a mile ahead nearly that guess where that cattle grid is there that’s the finish and we’re done how was that it’s deep just a little bit on five legs yeah the gr it all right thing I didn’t have the stabilization I was in Flanders up at the cber he was like this he just looked like on the video like right we good y I think we are okay let’s rock and roll this stand a bit right go ready what’s going on we’re dropping down into the Veil yor where is that you see the flat bit see here when the edge of the oak D is here okay then over there you can see the Oak and Ms distance a bit in the middle toward the veil of York like like the flat bit in between okay nice going to be fa yeah it Tailwind usually a Tailwind usually a Westerly wind around here so hopefully hopefully we should be good yeah hopefully perfect yeah I think we’ve earned it after going up that hill it’s ch K in it oh yeah it is it g keeps on giving yeah it does look at that there’s been some cracking View today but I think that one just coming down there looking over the reservoir it has to be my favorite that was on point that was apparently we’re really close to the feed station now after trapping Hill some grub will be good and more views afterwards hopefully feed station yes hi welcome up the hill thank you some ke here waiting your name on it which ke is it that’s and that’s ke rain with a bit of ham on I have the ham on in a sec that’s good how do you want all right so I think we’ve got about 50 no 45 miles left looking at the graph here it’s mainly downhill there’s a bit of an uphill section here would you know bit that is got sure CLS three left okay looks like nothing too crazy right out feed station down for a nice long descent and we click and let’s roll proper broke the back of this ride now now to enjoy going back this glorious weather and Dave said earlier on but we’re having a tow wind back definitely well ordered nice here going through the woods nice and cold a bit of a shelter from the Sun for a little while 21° today we would have fought in Yorkshire well well well but the Well’s definitely uh empty today [Music] [Music] just having a look on the Wahoo here is 28 1 half miles just under 800 ft of climbing it’s not too bad just feels long now [Music] I think that’s the end of the last climb couple of miles away from the feed station now feeling strong but it’s still needing that feed station here we are food that feed was needed right so after that feed station we’re now into the last just under 15 miles just over 200 ft of climbing so I reckon maybe an hour’s worth of riding it be time to go home collapse cool looking [Music] building nice cars nice car yeah we are nearly back we are nearly home a few more of the here we go hold to hold me up right so danger hey here we go thank you very much we go thank you there we go
