10 riders started out and half way up the first hill, Miller Brow, big Phil joined us riding his new DH bike. We took the usual route over Loughrigg Fell and down to Tarn foot, along the lane to the Elterwater road, past the timeshare, left at the Wainwight over the foot bridge and on up to the quarry. Then up the very technical climb amongst the trees (a bit of walking through Sawrey's Wood) down the lane towards little langdale, left then first right to the ford (Joel declined the water crossing after last week dip) then left fork through Strang End to the NT wood, back along the road to Elterwater pub for chips (well at least 3 of us) then the road climb up to High Close and the sweet down hill of Loughrigg Terrace, a quick water splash thru' Rydel then back to the cars. Did I mention punctures, I think we got away with it, only Phil brought his geared bike and so his freewheel hub gave some grief and he went home on the road from the pub.
Next week The White Hart at Bough for a 6.30pm start.
