22nd October 2015 - Fallen leaves ride round Loughrigg

8 made it out after parking at Pelter Bridge car park (free from 5pm!) Jamie M, George, Grant, Neil, Charlie, Joel, CT all left together and JB caught us up a little later along the coffin route. Nice 'n steady along to the road virtually all rideable ;), then cross over and work your way up to top of red bank via the trails, slight detour onto the common and re-group down near Elterwater.
Then along the river to Selwith and up to Loughrigg tarn, back to top of red bank and along the terrace, pause for JBs new flapjack, Great work as always, (memo to self: must try harder;) past the caves for some play time and down the rocky descent, where 'Fallen' turned into a new meaning as CT took a tumble on the rocks, get back up, dust off and try again, nothing broken just the usual scrapes and bruises. Back along the track and we managed 10 miles, just;)
Next ride Barley Bridge, Staveley
