23rd February 2006 - Hawshead & Claife

Here we go again, 5 turned up at the car park... but only 4 set off cycling! a little disappointing especially as someone in the group was hoping to celebrate a 'significant event' with a few friends, in the end said person had to settle with us.
Why you ask were there only 4 bikers, one person forgot their SPD's, was it Paul hear you all shout... actually no, Paul did not risk forgetting anything and stayed at home, it was Jamie, that's 2 weeks in a row he has turned up and not come riding, reputations are made this way!!
So 4 of us set off down the road to near Sawrey and took a left up past Moss Eccles Tarn, through the wood, where we stopped for refreshment (check out http://rads-pics.blogspot.com/ for a photo competition) and down the rocky descent, a quick left then right turn and we ended up near base camp for the up-hill ride back to the marker posts and the greeeeeat downhill back to Hawshead.
Back to the pub for a beer & crisps to warm up.
Next ride Thursday 2 March, 6.45pm Pelter Bridge, (between Rydal & Ambleside).
