14th January 2016 - Staveley and some snow :)

An Eighteen wheeler ride.....what? I hear you ask...well 9, yes 9 MTBers turned out;
Charlie, Jamie M, Joel, Neil, Grant, Phil, George, Jamie B and CT, 
including 3 fat bikes, 2x 650 inc one 1x11 with a bloomin' large 1st gear sprocket:) a 26er, 29er hardtails x2 and a full sus with spike tyres! So off we went for a tour of Staveley head, Green quarter and 2 rivers to finish including some snow to keep folk happy;) It was about freezing but not too damp and felt fine once we warmed up after the first climb!

Grasmere pre-ride sunshine:)

Fat tyre's good

New rubber better!

All riders in a line

some even smiling

and the 3 fatties all together, nice!

and then we were off...

into the sunset....no wait...

Action pic!

Post ride note: the spike tyres add loads of grip and they should with 400 studs per tyre, they were ridden in but still lost 36 studs from rear tyre!...so still a few rides left;) apparently you are supposed to ride like it's icy!
