27th August 2015 - Lowick for Grizedale

Charlie, Amanda, Neil, Andrew, Grant, Joel and CT met up at Lowick, we headed over to Grizedale, via a tarmac warm up climb! easy does it spin up the hill and onto to the off road descent to Ickenthwaite, fairly fast not so technical now its been worked on. Re-group and head down the lanes to Satterthwaite, take the cut through for a little test, that corner is still tricky (i.e. we dab'd;), up the lane and turn left onto Moor Lane for a little climb up and up and up, why....'cause the fire road would have been boring! Here we came across the BikeTreks ride going down, some say that's the way to go, but.... we carried on and up and over the 'step' test, which is a great confidence booster when you get it right:) and on-wards to Parkamoor. Test the puddle depth and cross over to the descent down to Nibthwaite, this was great, getting dark near the bottom but always a great downhill.

Next ride Ings (pub after) for Garburn
