A nice little solo ride to celebrate the New Year, apparently other folk were either holidaying, hung over or looking for milk (we took ours out of the freezer). Nice weather for the start of the year, I headed up the east side of Coniston on the road (note the lake was very high, i.e. the water was up to the jetties with no beaches for kayaks) and the once past Brantwood turned right onto a bridleway at Bank Ground heading for Lawson Park, then up the climb to the fire road (cleaned it:)) a little rain here and along the fire road to head off for Parkamoor and down great hill to enjoy the descent to Ian's gaff where I enjoyed my first real coffee of the year, cheers Ian. During the ride I saw 3 roadies on the first stretch, one horse and rider in the forest, 2 guys on hardtails doing the descent and 3 motocross riders coming up the descent. Drove home for a cuppa tea and found that defrosted milk still has ice cubes in it and so tea gets very cold very quickly :( , hint pre-heat milk first, first lesson for 2013!
Enjoy 2013 and see you Thursday at Barley Bridge, Staveley.
