13 riders turned up in the car park but with only 12 bikes, someone went home before the ride started! The others had a good ride, although someone asked at the start 'do we need lights?' no this is not a winter ride, .....never count your chickens!
Head south from the youth hostel road and turn right up the steep lane which turns into a track, up and over then left and right down to the ford, cross over and time for a quick discussion on the merits of going left or right, the outcome 11 went right, 1 went left (Ian on a different schedule). Up over Knotts and onto High Tilberthwaite and the first puncture, George enjoying himself on the descent! Then left back onto Hodge Close, then Oxen Fell and over the main road heading to Iron Keld, where we met Ian on his 'alternative' route! And Joel got a puncture before we enjoyed the downhill and back to Elterwater on the road, very nearly dark and it was only light rain showers!! we even got chips at 9.30pm (must be holiday season!)
Next week 11 August Lowick, meet in lane by the Red Lion.
