Leon - The Peak District Cyclist

Peak District cyclist on YouTube
youtube.com/@ljbrookes-pdc?si=vNR5jWk4pBJy_pQX


I Ride for enjoyment & fitness, as well as my sense of adventure. Most recent bike is a Specialized Turbo Vado SL 4.0 (mainly used in wet weather) i also ride on a Ribble Endurance SL e, which is an carbon fibre framed e road bike, that certainly helps take the sting out of the steep Peak District hills. Always happy to give advice & am always happy for anybody to join me out on a ride & I'm always up for a coffee shop break.
December 2025 I bought myself a new Scott Addict RC eride 20, which I will be doing some big Peak District rides in 2026 on.

This was running? I guess not. If I'm wrong: good luck for the Olympic Games 2028.

Hi Leon,



Your bike looks the part. How much did it cost you.

I'm between bikes and looking for a replacement to my old one. Love any feedback, not just on the cost, but generally.

Typically I prefer road bikes, but don't like drop handle bars, which seems to be a contradiction in design. Any tips or suggestions

So how does it feel - is it as addictive as its name says?



I always like to see pictures of Peak District. And the one with the view of Manchester is just great. Thank you for sharing it.

I got sent Multper heated gloves & socks to test free of charge. I had got to admit, returning home from a ride where the temps dropped as low as 4oc & have warm hands is just amazing.

Seems to be really good. And it wasn't a short ride, you tested well.
