    I'm toying with the idea of taking my gopro to Italy when we do Lake como because I would have thought the footage would be tediously dull, I think I'm sold on it now though after watching a bit of that!

    Thanks, I try and keep videos sub 5 mins and not hold a shot for to long, I'm fully aware long videos with little content bore people to tears! Some good music always helps ;-)

    Nice vid - Here's my film from the same day:

    Forgot to change the battery after Ribblehead, so nothing after Stainforth and the slightly "wearing" solo ride down Littondale into the wind!

    You should have a speedo readout for the Fleet Moss descent. Now that was quick that day :wink:

    I'm still trying to find a way of mounting my Garmin so the speed can be seen.

    2013 I hit 55mph before I bottled it, This year I was well on target for 60mph+ unfortuneatly due to a car slowing to pull over I had chuck out the anchor at 56mph :cry: Maybe next year.....

    Does anyone know if the rider(s) involved in the crash on the Fleet Moss descent were ok?

    If you hit 68mph according to GPS I tip my hat to you! Mighty Impressive, if not a little scary!
