Neil, Jamie and CT met up for a cold sunny Sunday afternoon ride involving a trip over the snow and Garburn. We kept to the west side and so less mud but some puddles and frozen ice patches, not enough for spiked tyres thou'. So up the lane to Browfoot and up onto the top track, 3 rivers route and down to Kentmere for the start of Garburn. Here the bottom section has been washed out by the recent floods, but the clear blue skies added to the ride. Usual ride / walk up but there is now some snow to make it even more fun, we passed some walkers including 2 whippet type dogs who were cold and not happy even though they had dog jackets on.
Once over the top, quick snack and watch the sun going down, then down the snow and watch out for the gullies formed by the water erosion, some looked like they were dug by a JCB others like an earthquake had hit, all very interesting and it kept you on your toes, obviously a great test for a fox t'logic:). Off down Dubbs to the road, then over Borrans to finish, a bit of wind chill to end, hardly needed the lights, 3 hrs 20 mins, around 15 miles I think, a blue sky ride to savour. Thursdays ride from bottom of Dubbs Lane.
