6 met up for a little ride out and
some supper later; Charlie, Grant, Neil, George, Jamie and CT, usual Garburn route from Ings, nice warm up in the sunshine, views down the valley (see photos), uphill seemed rockier than usual or just playing on the mind. We met one walker on the way up and then 2 bikers just over the top, although they were separated by about 5 minutes! Rocky descent was tricky as CT went over the first rock section he found NH, GA and CSC walking and wondered what was up.....nout, so onward just keep some momentum and watch those BIG rocks. Down to the bottom all survived, turn right past Kentmere and up to 3 rivers, on the way up we pasted half a dozen riders , some with lights and Heather amongst them, then over the top heading to 3 rivers we passed another group with their lights on, M6 tonight! Now head along and down the fast track to Ings, the last bit of bridleway is really fast, enjoy. Back about 8.30 so time for food, savoury bread and butter, potted shrinks, fish and chips or just chips. A grand end to a great Summer blue sky day. Next ride is from Gilpin, food again.
