9th August 2012 - Lowick

5 riders made it out for a summer evening ride into Grizedale, George, Ian, Jamie, Grant and CT; worth noting that Grant had his new 29er hardtail, so watch out. Slight detour by heading over river and them up the first lane, it's a bit steep... then left and thru' the farm and over fields, watch out for muddy holes, this meets back up at the top of the normal climb and so across the fields and again watch out for muddy holes, Ian :) then enjoy the descent down the trail it's fantastic, just dry enough for a blast, although enough for Ian to loose his water bottle. Along the lane and left into the forest up the climb, then left and right. This time instead of going thro' the puddles we headed for Parkamoor via Park Crags. Time to photograph the sunset over Consiton and then down along to Nibthwaite, where Ian lost his chain and so freewheeled down in the dust light almost as fast as we did, again this is a great descent. Drop into the pub to hear some folk music and also top up on Olympic beach volleyball (mens :(. Next ride Borrowdale from A6 Shap road, Selside.
