It was that time of year again, when my Van needed an MOT and service, so i headed back to Hereford with my bike, looking to fill 7 hours, whilst my van was looked after. On the Menu was a ride I’d put off last year, as I wasn’t fit enough. So obviously, being even less fit this year, why not head to Black Darren, and try to do 5 official Midlands climbs. Had I have checked the profiles, I’d have seen that two 25% climbs up to see Arthurs Stone awaited me, as well as a long climb up to the Tower. Only, I followed the road, and not a muddy farm track, so failed to get the climb on the 100 Climbs app. So we will be back!!

How lovely to see you back on the bike Darren. As usual, nice filming and good views. Well done on the climbing and don’t wait so long before you upload another? 👍😊👏

Looked a lovely ride apart from the hills 🤣
Made up to see you out and about again. I feel your pain. Got in to cycling a year or so ago, but haven’t been about all through the summer and really struggling with motivation to pull the bike out again now. Seeing you back out, I’m determined to get out again this again this week. Keep your head up Darren, love seeing your adventures
Well done mate. And you are so right reference letting the cycling slip!!. Have done exactly the same as you and now my fat arse is struggling with rides I previously never gave a thought to!. Its amazing what an effect even 1 stone etc makes lol!.
Top shelf video, thanks for sharing.
It's great to see you back out there, Darren.
