16th January 2014 - Troutbeck

3 made it out George, Jamie and CT, not a bad night in the end, Jamie and CT cycled out from Staveley, but on the way some aspect of CT's brakes fell out...and that slowed down progress:) Put in new pads and a new pin and off again. Usual start off to Limefitt but head further along the road and tee of at Town Head and go round the extra tongue, down the first singletrack off the main road and CT hits a rock, "it was looking at me..." so puncture time, new tube and off again...round to Limefitt, down Garburn, along the road and cross the river, climb the singetrack...usual route, up Robin, down Fell Lane and along to go DOWN Mirk (it was muddy at the end section) and back UP Wain. Now just for the record Jamie nicked a tyre and added some air which lasted until we got to the bus stop, new inner tube required. Ride back and Jamie had a slow puncture but he managed to get back to the cars. So a few mechanicals in one ride hopefully that should last for a few rides! Off to order some more brake pads, have you got your spares? Next Thursday night ride is Ings.
