13 + 1 riders turned out (Joel was the +1 and he caught up just before the drop into Longsleddale). Start from Barley Bridge and head up Hall Lane to Staveley Head Fell and tee off right over the tops to enjoy the rocky descent into Longsleddale. Then run along the bridleway to the side of the river Sprint, join the lane and head to Sadgill Wood for a hill climb up to the gate, where we all paued for breath and some birthday cake, Jim had baked again with more icing! A quick rendition of Happy Birthday for Jim and then off for a testing climb up the rocky route; well done Jamie, and on and over to High Lane, Kentmere. Then a right and left turn to Low Lane and a quick chain gang race ride (for some) back down the lane to the cars and some beers.
Next week Keswick, meet by pencil factory industrial units for a ride near Skiddaw.
