Good morning we are doing the same stabby route that we did the last video because it’s so so good and I just can’t I can’t get enough of California although it is extra cold today I think it’s said like 2° don’t worry I’ve got a

Glove on so we’re going to get going I’m not thinking about we’re going to get out and go and start climbing cuz we will get so toasty on the Hills also got a new bike I’ll show it you in a little bit and uh it’s not really new it’s not

Mega new I’ve had it a while but I’ve just not shown it to you yet cuz so you’ll know that it’s a new bik you’ve not seen it a little Glimpse woo okay let’s go how pretty that looks although when we set off I didn’t

Tell you this I was like that cold I was like I want to go back to the car is it too cold to ride today and then done like half five: CL a kilometer and a half steep CL and I am I need to take my hat off cuz it’s I’m so

Sweaty you very so good you love it so I think it was a Miss it’s making it cold but I thought I’d properly underdress and now I’m like it’s too hot if you H see are you not hot I’m just baking I’m too hot I’ve got sweat on my top lip

Like always in all weathers I mean look at that that’s what that’s where we come from that’s why it was so bloody cold so be dying in this this his true friend thanks no no I’m I’m cold body oh bodyy H that hurts serious Ste now that would have been your head

Enough of this shanic I am left-handed oh yeah fell lefties last video when I’m like Oh e distracted stopped probably three times now but because look oh it’s beautiful like so beautiful look like how is that cold you like it just looks like it I don’t know it looks

Like France or something I don’t know it just looks so beautiful I love this love love love this this is my favorite place to ride now it’s like I saying to you it’s like my Dales like on my doorstep Dales is my favorite place but this

Feels a lot like the dals because this route 60k there’s not one bad the worst road is the one where we park on hden to on the main road but so pretty look at it right I want to stop being distracted but I equally know that you like this

Type of video so I’m just going to let myself distracted and just chat to you and ride me bike also base layer it’s so hot great Bas layer in fact I’ll do a winter kit video an updated one because although to be fair a lot of it is the

Same but this Bas layer best although you think the spats one is better don’t you I love the spats one Steve is always like oh I’m getting a SP another spat how many have you got now every time I speak is on his way to BL Val AG to buy another spats base

Layer uh mine is the Rafer women’s one thermal it’s got a bu thought with my ring breaks hey they’re not as noisy as your blly disc breaks last week weekend there was a reason for that look at that hi morning it looks like a Christmas postcard look at all

That down there look at all the white Fields I bet there’s some cold little sheep is out today it’s cold again beautiful look at those like Highland cars hello why you Ling them up you bloody notter wall a good shot I actually used to be the bowler at rounders so a good

Arm oh no look are you ready oh my God I love them I love them hello oh hey oh oh no all right hang on this is oh my God they’re all kicking off so yeah we’ve got uh llamas we’ve got sheepies donkeys fluffy chickens there are also a few but

They’re generally in cars uh this is not like a an animal video I know this is new bike uh so I’ll give you a little sneak peek and then when we actually stop I will give you the full rundown but I’ll give you a little sneak peek of

It and I’ll show you the front morning hello we’ve come back to see him these are just my favorite hello hi hello come to say hello to me honestly Stevie is such a chatter he’s chatting to Judith up there he’s giving a bloody number they were chatting about some court case or

Something so she’s going to Whatsapp it him she stayed with did she say it see just said that the Judi said that I could go back and birth a lamb that’s that’s such a random thing to offer a perfect stranger come around and buth one at Lambs if you like she’s a vet

Yeah I know she’s a vet but I’m not would you YouTube video oh little specialized buies together you okay yeah very well thank you so at the cafe and oh thank you look how many look how many sowings stev’s BR he’s off his that keep him going PE come on you did that thing about the Sho not Jud and uh Steve is it all right so the new bike so I’ve had it how long have I had it now oh I had it end of last summer to be honest and i’ not really well I’ve ridden it a

Little bit anyway basically it is a secondhand specialized tat cuz you always told me how good Tac are but I love Rim bra bikes I was like I wonder if I could find one so I looked on eBay looked online so many different times but there’s just so much kind of like

Rubbish on eBay and like buying secondhand bikes it took me a while to find it um and so the one that I’ve got it’s an sl4 I’ll show you now specialized time sl4 54 cm frame and it barely been ridden the woman that had

Had it had it even got the stick it was from bike sport in Darlington so I went all the way where was it to the coast I can’t remember it took me 2 or three hour drive it was like right near the coast I can’t remember anyway it took me

Ages cuz I was like I really want it and I think it cost 300 it wasn’t expensive it’s carbon it’s fact carbon 9R is that a good onez you all the different carbons it is specialized entry one but it’s still a good carbon yeah it’s really light um but I did actually have

It um checked over by a carbon expert I’ll show you a little bit of footage but I will do another video of like what to look for if you’re going to buy a secondhand bike um because all the things that I wanted I wanted something that didn’t look like it was thrashed

That hadn’t been like changed and swapped around it was as it pretty much was when it was bought but I just loved it I just really like it it is a really nice bik but I have swapped basically I’ve just kept the frame and the stem

And the seat po so I’ve changed the wheels the groups that I’ve got grx on it I just love grx and the wheels are the ones that I wanted to ride for years and years and years and my old contracts meant that I had to use a different set

Of wheels but now these are the ones that I’ve wanted for years they are DT Swiss and they’re just beautiful they are Rim break and I just love this bike it’s it’s heavier than the wind space um slightly heavier but it rides like beautifully um and do I had flipped

The stem was flipped up I need to flip it down and see what it’s like but it’s just a really nice bike and I kind of got it because I wanted to test whether or not a bike I mean this was from was it 2012 the sl4 something like that like

A what’s that like 12 year old bike yeah is a 12y old bike still nice in 2024 and I do all my rides in it I’m climbing on it it’s it’s a really nice bike in a nice frame if you want any more videos on like secondhand bikes if you’re

Looking into second bikes because the market is just so extreme at the minute like the cost of bikes I just find it crazy so that was why I wanted to test it out and I will do a full review cuz I’ve done a fair bit of riding on it but

I’ll I’ll ride it for a little bit longer and do a a bigger better review and show you how I would find a secondhand bike online I love it I I do need to to flip that down though I want to see what it’s like a little bit

Little bit more not too aggressive but yeah it’s a beautiful bike I got a real good bargain with it so the groups are I don’t even know how I don’t even know cuz I had Parts already on um my Ribble bik so I just took everything off that

And put it on here so and then I bought the wheels I think the wheels were they were like six or 700 it’s simple it’s Rim brakes it’s got a nice seat post it’s just beautiful although actually I did have to buy these Rim breaks because it’s the I can’t remember

What Shimano C sount now we’re on about group set I I was think that um grx is my favorite group set that’s ever been made that I’ve ever tried I just love it on everything Grable and Road um and you saying the brakes on this Brak I just

Like the feel of them like I like it’s like satiny M there’s always a dog that goes crazy at us oh no it’s there it’s okay it’s okay and last time we came by bought back at it I was like and then it stopped we stopped and had a snack and

Then that little like path there see you went Katie come on the dog’s coming down I was like no it’s not it was walking down with your and I was like let’s go I just heard that to not scare dogs off but to stop them being aggressive

Towards you you have to be alpha or something like be like I’m the boss cuz that’s one of my biggest fears of riding abroad or even like transon is like dogs it’s looking worse that’s big Jack taking gloves off ready yeah bikes ready oh yeah I’m only doing this little bit

Because I want a thumbnail for the video but this is where I stopped last time look I’m very predictable when I like a route and the weather’s not great and I can’t go that far I trust this although there’s quite a lot of snow W there up

It and Stevie it was like I want trying to get a PB today he definitely got PB he caned that and I’m just like you did I might not yeah you have I’d say about 30 seconds off it this is our last climb I’m kind of

Sad it’s the last one we saying the more times we do this route the easier it gets and the less steep they all seem don’t you think yeah definitely and now we clean the bikes uh I’ve got my Mobi like pressure washer but I’m getting C to use what he’s got

Because I think this is pure genius also some of you little cheeky monkeys have been on about my hat and how long how many years I’ve had it and worn it have you heard this Stevie what people been on about my hat I long you buy how long

Have you got you got another hat I have but this is my favorite it’s the warmest and you know what I wanton it I won it on L and GRS they ride across Britain for being the perkiest rider so I we it proudly so it’s battery powered

And you just put it in a bucket of water and then gone put some nice soapy water in there good isn’t it yeah have we so thank you so much for watching thank you so much Stevie as always great route I’ll leave the strawber below thank you so much for watching and I’ll

See you on next video goodbye is that dog pool on my that looks like dog doesn’t it the tiny is bit you say you never white dog sh off the tire before
