George, Charlie, Neil, Joel, Jamie and CT made it out and met up near the Watermill at Ings, a nice evening so let's head out for Garburn, off up the road towards Dubbs, nice and easy, just past the turn off to High Borrans and Joel thinks aloud what route tonight, at the same time Jamie realises he is on his Cross bike and does not want to go Down rocky Garburn! and suggests we do the route anti-clockwise, so off up Borrans and across the fell to Kentmere, whilst riding and spying young lambs running around likes it's a summer evening! at one point between gates a small group of young thugs lambs run away from us bikers, realise as they reach the gate there is no where to run and so turn around and run straight back at us, aaaaarrhh! Collision avoided and onwards. Down to Kentmere and only one puncture, no guesses, admittedly CX tyres are about a 1/4 of the volume of a MTB tyre. So now for the climb up Garburn, nice attempt by Joel at the zig-zags, steady walk up, wondering how we ride down! Re-group at the top for some ginger pieces from Charlie and jelly babies from George. Then head downhill, it is fairly fast now as it's been 'done'. Back via Dubbs lane. Next ride is at Lowick for a trip into Grizedale.
Quick photo competition:
Do you recognise this fellow on a bike?
It's Jumping Jez Avery, you remember from 1991 on TV doing "You Bet"....no well he set the British bunny-hop record in 1990 at 37.5 inches, nearly 1m to you! Now he's doing stunts and was at Country Fest this weekend:)
