6th August 2009 - Hartsop for Ullswater shore ride

8 met up, John, Jamie, George, Neil, Chris M, Paul, Ian and CT. We set off for a anti-clockwise route with an extra leg, first though we go north and headed over Boredale Hause, this route really needs more warm up! and we met 2 bikers coming down, one riding with brakes on and one walking for safety. Then we took a right turn and headed over to Howe Grain, this involves a little more climbing, but you get a ride along the ridge and a great descent. Now just take the lane towards the shore near Sandwick and head west along the shore bridleway. This can get tricky in places George takes a tumble into the bracken, Neil falls over on the flat and Paul falls on something I'm sure he wants to forget! We make it all back safely, with a little road ride in the dusk. Next ride Hawkshead
