5th June 2008 - Witherslack ride

Quite a few folk turned up at Gilpin Bridge for the Witherslack ride, Joel, Grant, Ian, Charlie, Chris M, Jamie, John. The route commentary will follow once our correspondant gets on-line... more to follow.

There was some discussion about the upcomming 'Sam Houghton Challenge' ride from Staveley on Saturday 7th June. "The course opens up some of the best natural mountain biking in the UK with a 46km long course with 1400m of ascent through Kentmere, Longsleddale and Troutbeck valleys and taking in the infamous Garburn pass." One RADs team was booked in and a few more riders said they would enter on the day, so it seemed a good turn out.

As some of you will be aware the challenge is in aid of Cancer Research UK and was very close to our hearts following Fred Hools recent death. It was a good challenge and worth every effort in memory of Fred. A separate blog will follow with details from Saturdays Challenge ride.

Thursday 12 June will be the Walna Scar ride, meet at Broughton forrest entrance off hummer lane.
