Saturday 30th April 2016 - Road ride to see the Grasmere gap and new bridleway + photos

I rode up to Grasmere and beyond to Thirlmere on the new tarmac section of bridleway as a cycle by-pass to the 'gap', so here are a few photos. It was a bank holiday Saturday with snow on the tops and the sun was out:)

On the back road to Red Bank, it's a great view and yes I did ride up Red Back (36/28 gears)
