I'm 84 addicted to Bike Videos but yours makes me ashamed of 90 percent of those I've sent to my kida and friends. Thanks.

Fantastic route, a must. Thanks for this film, absolutely stunning.

Just come across your video.. I have done a few big rides and I have always wanted to do the 500... You have set me on my plan to achieve it.. Great video my friend..

An absolutely brilliant video & ride don't know how you manage to keep smiling while your pedalling into a headwind or going up an enormous hill bloody superb effort !!

Great video! Me and my pal did this June 2017 over 6 days. Thanks for sharing:)

Amazing, inspiring film. Thank you for sharing your adventure.

Hope to ride it some day thank for taking the time to film it I am sure you had a blast

Great video, very informative & inspirational, this is now on my bucket list. You certainly picked a good year weather-wise, some friends were touring the west coast on motorcycles and the weather was amazing. Many thanks for sharing.

Now that's how to make a video ! Fantastic effort and congratulations on completing the NC500

How can anybody thumbs down this video. Well I really enjoyed it and I will do this route hopefully next year.

Small world and all that, Mr DazP. I have been researching the NC500 with a view to doing it myself next year. I came across your excellent video and couldn't shake a nagging feeling that I knew you and recognised the accent. Having subscribed to your channel and seeing your face more clearly (plus a very familiar location Littleborough) I recognised my old Wardle school teammate. Great video, very informative and cemented this as a "must do" ride. All the best Todd

Cracking film that really enjoyed watching it. Looked like you were lucky with the weather apart from that last day. Really fancy a go at this route although probably have to allow myself a good bit longer than you did 👏 Maybe no bad thing with them views !

BEEN THERE DONE THAT! ;)...must say the downhill into Applecross from the top was the best downhill of the whole nc500 for me! :)

What a fantastic video! I really enjoyed your footage of the NC500, it was a route I done last year, and it was like a trip back for me! I remembered every road you filmed! Great ride!

Hey dude. You inspired me to start gold panning. I've been traveling round the UK on my bicycle for 8 years working when needed as a chef and living oh natural setting up camps in nice locations. Been getting real fed up with working my arse off for nothing. Started watching your channel a few months ago. You inspired me to work less and start panning for gold. I've been panning unknown streams an rivers in Cornwall. Plenty of colour. Next year I'm going to start doing gold panning experience days for tourists. Just looking for somewhere I can set up a bell tent for a more permanent base. Starting my you tube channel very soon with a review of the Garret supper sluice kit. And panning vids to follow. Love cycling too bro. Happy panning. Planning a panning trip to the forest of dean next year maybe see you there.

Great ride. Loving the cycling vlogs. Do some mad rides dont you

Another cracking Video Daz. It’s a ride I’m planning to do next August if London-Edinburgh-London is suspended for 12 months.

What an awesome video mate! Great information all the way through and brilliant video footage. Top effort on the ride too

Good video. Thnaks. Life's too short to do this in only 6 days. Make it 10, go slower and stop and look. How much bliss can one miss at 80+ miles a day?

Well done mate great road trip...thanks for taking us along. ATB Coops 👍🏻🚴

Epic; well done and thanks for sharing:)

Nice Video! What a ride!!! Riding the Danube next year and then the NC 500.

Fantastic video.... awe inspiring

Great achievement and inspirational scenary. Be good to see you back doing some surf....... sometime soon.....

Epic, that’s all I can say a great, great achievement.

Great video. For all that beautiful scenery my favourite part is when you say "Let's go do a ride" :-)

Come back to watch this vid again, and then a vid becomes a thought again 🤷😂 still the best nc500 vid for a cyclist to watch if they are thinking of doing it imo 🙌brings back memories

Brilliant video with some excellent info.Starting my planning now to do it this June .,2 things stuck out for me obviously how stunning it is but also I thought the climbing eased off a lot more , even days 4,5 and 6 are chunky imo.Congrats again on a great ride.

Fantastic.. route, trip filming, editing everything. Love how you used relive in your video. Gave a great perspective. I ‘screen shot’ your route each day to build an itinerary to also do the NC 500. If you have URLs that can help learn, map sources, lodging options etc, would be much appreciated. Cheers from usa.

Grand chapeau!! amazing ride and great scenery and vid

Fix the "relive"parts = its all over the place - it is showing you going east (left to right) when you are going west and south when you are going east. example glen carron section the map shows you going south when you are going west and the car footage shows you going north link the directions - when north is up it is easier to follow

Hi There, We now have many my more riding around the five hundred and living on a bit of single track road that is a popular part of the tour I wonder what cyclist think about cars using the same roads. In the past I have driven slowly behind cyclists expecting once they are aware of me behind they would happy to allow me to overtake safely. Now I am told they no longer need to worry as legally they have the right to cycle up the middle of the track and do not need to bother to pull into passing places. I have always tooted a single toot well back from the cyclist and a louder one if it’s windy. Some cyclists raise a hand to tell me they know I am there and others give the finger. Personally I will continue giving a toot as I wear hearing aids in each ear and have to think the cyclist in his helmet would understand my actions. I understand observing the dreadful conditions of our single tracks with there eroded edges

Well in buddy ,aye our country is awesome ☠👍👍👍💙⛏💪

Quality video well done, looking forward to doing this in April hopefully the weather will be OK unfortunately we don't have the luxury of a support vehicle.

Amazing ride and a great video 👍

Great video. I`m doing it this month.Bivvying out and staying in B&B if I happen to find on en route.I`ll be taking more with me ,as no back up.What did you use to keep the midges away?

Great video 👍🏻👍🏻

Great video this, watched last night. Planning on bike packing it in July 🙌🙌 How does it compare to lejog?

Would you recommend a bike lock? How did you secure your bike overnight or when stopping for lunch?

How long would you recommend to train for this for a weekend cyclist. Any response will be appreciated. Never done more than 40 miles in a day. But willing to train everyday as I’m at uni just now so have lots of free time. And maybe potential training advice. 😊 but other than that great video mate. Enjoyed a lot

Fantastic video mate bravo. Me and some friends are tackling this in July (covid permitting) and wanted to know if you had a list of where you stayed? Cheers!

Ace hope you enjoyed

Living on a single track road that ends on at a nice beach I just wondered how we will get on with cyclist now? It seems the law is quite clear that cyclists can ride in the middle of the road if they wish to. What should be the procedure on our single tracks then. Formerly seeing a cyclist tackling our hills my habit was to toot my horn once, far enough behind just to let him know of my presence. Some cyclists raised their hand to acknowledge my single toot, some hastened to give me the finger. I was happy for either just knowing shelf the cyclist was aware. When a passing place appeared on the cyclists side I closed up expecting room to now pass safely. If the cyclist did not pull in my habit was to drop back and await his arrival at other passing on his left. After three failed attempts my toot was, shall we say more enquiring! This is now a no no as the cyclist could suggest I was assuming a right of way over his. Our single track started life as a cart track, it’s now the same cart track, but equipped with a disintegrating layer of tarmac and a limited selection of small passing places. It is occupied with motor homes a large part of the year driven mainly by drivers unused to such large vehicles. This leads to frustration unless they pull in to their passing places on the left to allow smaller vehicles to overtake simply because otherwise it starts to be a convoy. Two motor homes meeting with each both having convoys create chaos. Will we now have the same problems with cyclist who are often much slower than motor homes especial on our many steep hills? It is expected a motor home will pull in inside the passing places to keep traffic moving. The new laws seem make no account for cyclist to behave in this manner, so where do we go from here please???

Thanks for the video, what month of the year did you go in?

How do you stay so clean cycling through winter weather

nic vid mate, the NC500 is defo 1 for the future for me.

I've done various sections of it in the car but think l may have to put some more miles on the bike if l'm to conquer it myself though if 60 is the new 40 , who knows ? :) Safe cycling

Great film thanks. I'm doing this in June. My 1st ever big bike ride. What gloves do you use please? I'm struggling with sore/stiff/cold hands on my little practice trips.

Cracking Video and insight! I’m doing it may next year. Any recommendations on waterproof cycling gear? Martin

I’m currently in the market for a hybrid (looking at the Giant Roam 0) but I’m also toying with the idea of a gravel bike with either flat or drop bars. Never owned a bike with drop bars. Would be interested in your thoughts and opinion on the two types of bike mentioned above. Hoping to make a decision and place my order next week. Maybe then I’ll contemplate the NC500 😉

Could someone do this on a Scott mountain bike or is a road bike the only way? Thanks ☺️

What camera did you use to record yourself?

I guess this ride is easier with a support vehicle rather than riding unsupported carrying all your gear. Still a good effort though.

can you post your route?

6 days with minimal rain? Are you sure you were in Scotland?

⚔️💪😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍👌(stroke)

nxt time do on the bike only..
