First ride.


Hello and welcome to my attempt at blogging. 
I'll try my best tell you about the routes I have taken. 
There is plenty to see out there and enjoy. I have been taking videos of some routes which I'll include here somehow plus I will also do short podcasts about each of them. 
At the beginning it will be a bit messy because I don't know how it will all work but I am hoping to include route maps as well so you don't get lost or something. 

Let's start with the basics. 
Do you have a bike? Helmet? And a bell? 
If the answer is yes to all 3 questions then you basically are set. 
I know that a lot of people are discouraged by full on lycra shorts and insanely expensive bikes .. and don't forget the mirror sunglasses. 
You don't need any of it if you want to just get the hell out of your house and have a good time by your self or with your special other or even your mates. 

Bramley to Skeleton Grange.
And there is also the link to the video of the route on my YouTube channel

And here is the podcast as well. When I'll figure out how to upload it also on Spotify then there will be a link for that ..but for time being it's on castbox. It's my personal favourite for all the sounds that can enter my scull.

C2C also known as "Coast to Coast"

7th of July.  Early morning.  24h before the ride.  Me and my mate finally have got the days off. Bikes are fixed. Some equipment is added and some is taken away due to Leeds - Liverpool experiences.  Overall we feel confident that we are ready to tackle the new challenge. Both of us are excited and at the same time clueless of what we both have done by signing up for the famous C2C bike route.  It's a 140 mile long journey from Whitehaven to Sunderland. All the way across UK, trough and over Pennines with highest peak at Hartside which is 1903 ft. We took the train from Leeds to Whitehaven and stayed at the nicest hotel I have been in my life. Lismore Guest House ( I haven't been paid to say that)  It was pretty good day and we arrived around dinner time so we wondered around. Walked up and down the place. Lots of history around it. And we met an old man that was happy to talk Whitehaven for days. So we listened for a bit. We had few uncomfortable pints in...

St Aidens bird pond thing

Do you like big diggers?  Then you are in for a treat. This big rig is located just on the edge of the St Aidens ponds. Not functional but it's a pretty big piece of machinery.  We are sort of running ahead of the whole ride and why I thought to put this down in writing.  The season for cycling is sort of nearing the end where it's still pleasant and enjoyable. So I picked fairly warm +15 degree Sunday to get away from home and my four walls.  Put some air in the wheels. Stuck my headphones in. And I chose some Spotify playlist with American country music.  Yeah I know. Weird. But to be honest I love it sometimes. It's all about ford 150 trucks, corn, my baby, gun racks and kicking ass. The music goes well with the nature and fresh air for sure.  I decided to go to St Aidens because the wind blew from there and it's always nice to be pushed back home by it.  The ride trough city goes by fast. It's Sunday so there is almost no traffic and on...

Leeds to Skipton

Now then!  This ride here is for someone that has the whole day to them selves.  Or they has this cyclist friend who says " you'll be just fine." But be careful.. if this is the one you have decided to tackle just after you cleaned off the cob webs from your face while pulling the bike out of your shed then maybe you want to pick something easier. Not here to discourage.. just make sure you have someone that will come pick you up, just in case. When I did it the first time then my idea was to do 100km or 60 miles in local currency..  I did it 2-3 years ago. I still had my silver bike. Which was one of the best second hand bikes I bought.  Side note .  If you don't want to spend a lot of money on a bike that you aren't really sure you will even ride that much but want to give it a go then try "The Bikes college" here in Leeds.  Not an advertisement but they do have cheap refurbished bikes for sale there. It's not new but is professionally ...
