8 riders turned out to meet at Moor Howe, on the lane from Ings to Troutbeck and headed up the track to Dubbs Reservoir off up Dubbs road to Garburn, but turning left for the rocky downhill (great fun!) to Church Bridge, south of Troutbeck. Then take the bridleway north of the church to the main village road and then the right hand lane at Town End before finding the bridleway on the left called Wain Lane, enjoy this "hardtail heaven" to the main road, no one fell off, as such, but maybe someone jumped off a bike, quickly!!
Go along the main road for a few yards then take the lane and bridleway, Mirk Lane, past Merewood, now enjoy the climbing! head right at the lane just past the farm and take the next left hand bridleway UP to Robin Lane, rest and enjoy choc' mint orange, thanks Jim.
Now enjoy the westerly route along Robins Lane to Jenkin Crag and the rocky test of a downhill! All back to 'The Van' for the shuttle ride back to the cars, leaving Jim to guard the hardware! A good ride all round, mostly downhill according to some, but maybe we were doing the uphill route!
Next week a casual ride from Ings, Boxing day option (contact Chris) then Thursday 29 to be advised, another casual ride. Bank Holiday Monday 2 January 2006, we aim to ride from Bowness ferry car park to Hawkshead for lunch and back! See you there and have a good festive time.
