5th June 2014 - Lowick for Grizedale and coffee;)

The three musketeers made it out, George, Grant and CT, whilst waiting for the third musket...we saw many bikers driving past, it seems the Biketreks ride started  just down the road, but they were heading west, we were heading east into Grizedale, we will save the western route for another day;). Usual route over road, along lane and then UP the tarmac climb, Grant just launched off and my legs decided to slow down! anyway the new descent off the top is great and fast, just watch as the one short-cut has been taken out, oh and also watch out for the sheep! Now down the lane and watch out for Landrovers coming round the corner, luckily Grant was awake and shouted a warning, tee off left for the little short cut, now it seems quite ride-able, all cleaned. Now up Moor lane and into Grizedale up and over towards Parkmoor, yes it's a testing climb and the big step is a challenge, easy for the two motocross bikes that passed us chugging up the lane! Now head across by the tank tracks through some puddles and enjoy the track down to Nibthwaite, we were half expecting hoping to see Ian, but no, so enjoy the technical steppy rock gardens, they have been washed out so beware, they are tricky:) then down to Ians and knock on his door for a coffee and chat. Then a quick road ride back to the cars in daylight.
