26th September 2013 - Ings (re-scheduled)

3 riders Jamie, Grant and George turned up at Ings for the yet again re-scheduled Ribbleshead ride. The ride  started up Grassgarth lane and onto the bridleway.  At the gate leading to Kentmere we kept straight on for the track to High Borrans and then along the road to Dubbs Lane. At the junction for Garburn we turned sharp left down to the top of Limefit.  On this fast downhill Grant got a pinch puncture which was quickly mended before proceeding towards the farm.  We then continued along the lane joining the bridleway up to the main road which we crossed and took the bridleway on the left just below the Mortal Man Inn.  At the end of this bridleway we joined the road and headed up Robin Lane.  At the top of the hill we took advantage of the seat and ate our snacks while we enjoyed the view of the lake. From the seat we headed down hill and back towards Troutbeck turning right at Townhead Farm and then taking the bridleway on the left after Jamie's in laws house.  Only Jamie managed to clear the hill back up to the road.  Then it was back for a quick sprint along the road to Ings.  George suffered a blow on his back tyre which created a mighty bang on the last 200yds of lane section before joining the main road so it was an easy walk back to the car. Just as well as the hole was way to big for a tooth paste tube repair. Next weeks ride Ings again for a short ride and food.
