5th December 2013 - Gilpin Bridge

2 hardy souls made it out for a post storm ride around Whitbarrow, Charlie and CT. The winds had calmed down, no rain although a tad chilly, usual route just watch out for the puddles including in the lay-by! Charlie needed a wake up ride so she could go home and sleep off the jet-lag. So ride and watch the leaves, up the hill, round the lanes, past the school, into the woods, take the left hand curve and enjoy the view, a bit steep at the end;) down to the road right turn, along to the muddy track, but it's not too bad now and gives a good steady testing climb, just chat yourselves to the top and back via the first section down through the trees where they have been coppicing so watch out for sticks in the wheels. Back to the van well before 9pm sorted. Next ride Ambleside, Pelter Bridge.
