today we’re out in the Peak District for a day of climbing up some of the UK’s most brutal climbs. 80km | 1500m including Bamford Clough and Winnats Pass. How hard can it be?

man is banging out the youtube videos! I appreciate the hustle, it's paying off!
Crushed it Dan 👊🏼📈
Another great video. Don’t think the GoPro in the mouth would have helped 😂
cameras make everything look flat. I installed a blend of 2x up front (33-46) and sram XPLR cassette (10-44) on the back for these kinds of gradients…not officially supported by SRAM but works fine if you get the chain length right. Lowest gear for this stuff I have is a 33/44 gear which has been ample so far….though I havnt tested it on something over 25%….also, as you probably know, riding in diagonals helps alot, but I found the steepest stuff is never wide enough to do that.
You would have had it if it wasn’t for the hikers.
More random wednesdays, please 😊👍
Was really feeling Blue Monday when you cut it prematurely =[ Go Pro need to fix those fucking cameras, that looked like you were dying on 5% gradient. Wednesday was good riding weather though, nice route.
Absolute tunes!! Yes Daaaanjj! 🙏
More challenge videos like this please that we can watch you suffer in the comfort of our couch. Great video – you couldn’t pay me to ride up that 😂
Top quality vid from the man Dan
Looks brutal, especially when that new road you're joining up to Bamford edge is such a lovely climb. Hardknott Pass is meant to be a tough one too if you're ever in the lakes!
Blue Monday – What a tune from an amazing group
Bike sounds delicious, mate!
Fair play filming those climbs with the camera in ya gob. Some going that.
Just imagine filming in beautiful scenery and restricting yourself to 1:1
Loved it again Dan! Hit me inspired to have a go a winnats on Sunday if the weather isn't arse. Just need TBattie to say he'll plod up with me now.
Big up the gang!
Pause time is accumulated time on Strava – clock will continue while paused. 😊 – nice video BTW Kudos!
Need a @mitchboyer review on this one
turn overrrrr🔂
I did this last summer. The grip is the killer
Gotta say videos like this one and the Anglesey vid are some of my favourite on the channel. Just some nice casual rides in some of the most beautiful places of the UK. Absolute top tier mate!
The loud free hub just doesn’t sound as cool being pushed up a hill 😂 Fair play fella for attempting it.
28cassette ? never happen 😂
Bangin tunes and bangin video as always
Looks class that
great music, great filming, great riding
It’s actually so dirty how cameras do in lines! Looked tough on the camera so bet it was horrendous in real life 😂
