43 miles into the ride the rain has finally called to us last time I’m not going to repeat the full story but last time he bmed it was the funniest story in the world everything was black and white rough gradient or is it just gradient is like 25 26% start you didn’t tell me it was 25 good morning good afternoon and good evening depending when you’re watching this video it’s your man J Manan aka Mr mortgage advisor I’ve just come back from cycling I got invited to go for a ride with uh the people’s Champion Mr zulfi and he took me on a wild ride I had to look at the mileage the mileage looked okay it was 52 uh about 52 miles the elevation was just over 4 and a half thousand so I thought it’s a lot of elevation but let’s just give it a go um and see how it goes we start going and I sort of very soon realized it’s 20 plus% grading on this to clim anyway I’m going to put the video on good morning good afternoon and good evening to watching this video I’m out with my man zie lots of love lots of love it’s been an hour cycling we’ve now reached toad alen bar o clock and uh love how you feeling how you just got too fast for me but me and zulie we’ve done just over 10 miles we’re in todan now we’ve done uh 16 miles now and zie has bought his bike it weighs about what but he say 26 kg yeah it’s got to be same as my mountain bike so I’ve just put some extra metal weights in there so we’ve got some metal weights in the uh in my suitcase in his suitcase there so it’s about 26 kg I have to lock it up so we got to lock it up what lock have you got there I’ve got s so sponsored by sa and then uh get some food here wfy is going to go get a a banana so he can uh put his boost up and I’m going to just look at them guns show them guns again Bo up and I’m going to just Bo up and I’m going to Big Guns tell me about the clim that’s coming along so this is Todd M area located in basically I think is West Yorkshire West Yorkshire Todd M Todd M I feel like I came here through the day anyway go on so tell me about this climb this climb is called dog do dog house dog house the gradient is nice what’s What’s the do you know the rough gradient or is it just gradient is like 25 26% start you didn’t tell me it was 25 I just thought no genuinely yeah that’s what I’m saying bro so you have to psych yourself up so yeah hold on just for the viewers hold on let me turn it this way the lights better just for the viewers he’s been telling me the first parts are a little bit sharp and I’ve been thinking 7 8 9% it’s the first time I’ve had 25 5% so when you’re talking about clipping in an out it now makes sense he’s telling me about clipping in out thinking I’ve never clipped out ever on T bro welcome to T okay so 25% how long today we’re going to do three of the brutal climbs of T take them off Dog House Dog House putsy Road putsy Road and uh Melton Steeps Melton Steeps and then you got crack baille is just a loosener that’s a 5 m yeah but I’ve done crack bail before it’s 5 miles and it goes on forever this is is going to crack B is like a walk in the par it’s like flat it’s like flat crack is flat crack is flat but nice hold on 25% for how how long is that climb it’s about about 2 3 miles you’ve heard me say this you’ve heard me say this before I genuinely do not like that’s why nobody rides with me now you know it this is the people CH the next video you’re going to probably see is all crying you’re going to probably see me riding on my own again from now on I’m not going to see again ride with me no I can vouch and I will ride with this crazy brother because this guy is fantastic right we’re going to head off now so this is the start of dogghouse climb I’m here with Mr zulie the views are out there look at that behind me that’s the start this is ulfie I don’t know where he’s taking me but he’s starting to get steep 101% say 101% he telling me this is dog house oh man smashing it come on bro that’s it beautiful line beautiful line keep going keep going people’s Champion s how was that clim for you yeah it was bit spicy I’m going to use a little bit more vocal it was definitely more than spicy it’s one of the very very few climbs I got my phone out of the beginning and then I thought no this isn’t one with the phone and so we’ve climbed to dog dog Hill dog house dog house climb and the views as you can see are absolutely yes misty misty and you can’t see anything the view in front of us absolutely Misty so to say that we were rewarded by a view I’d be lying anything you want to say little thing before we on doing well man Champion true champion this guy’s a mountain goat this is not dangerous we are now cycling into the unknown me and Mr sufie we’re just checking what the climb is called this is py py road but on stra is called somewhere else it’s called category G Force so I’m just going to show you my Garmin device now gin will tell you what it’s going so it doesn’t tell me the name but it tells me just just a little bit of red so bit of spice what I’m going to do is I’m going to follow I’m going to oh Shockers I’m going to follow zulfy’s line cuz he is the master at climbing Marshall that’s kind of where we’re going that’s where it’s going to start follow my line give you a good P yeah yeah yeah I’m going to I’m going to draft him oh my word look at that zie smashing that Hill up yeah man I think the trick with any climb find your pace and do it so we’ve just come to the top of this climb on the corner of Mount Lane and curb Road and this road is actually unsuitable for hgvs L that gives you giveway that tells you that it’s going to be crazy another sign on super PV so we’ve just come up there it’s been 2 hours sove making sure I chop up all my nutrients this is it so 2 hours eating is so important so

caught up to us he’s slashing it I don’t know if the camera’s picking it up boy it’s smashing it down but it’s okay I’ve still got to get home and the last time I checked humans are waterproof let’s
