19th February 2009 - Lowick for south Grizedale

8 riders met near the Red Lion and we headed north for the early tarmac uphill climbing test, then down to Ickenthwaite, Corker Lane and up through the fire roads of Thorney Stack and Satterthwaite Moor to come out at High Parkamoor. Here we all enjoyed the downhill technical rocky descent down Great Hill. It was a clear and starry night, with Coniston water glistening in the star light. No major mishaps, the odd slip and a slight puncture/leak in a tubeless tyre, then a quick dash for the finish line, or at least the virtual line. A quick drink in the pub and home. Next ride is 26 Feb, at Troutbeck, park in layby.
