Grant, Charlie, Jamie B, Joel, Jamie Mac and CT all met up in a quiet car park, i.e. it was only us folk and the parking machine was out of action (does not charge after 6pm anyway). A cold wind and the odd snowflake was visible... if you squinted;). Let's go a different direction, so we headed up to the caves, then across the north side to the top of Red Bank, then around to Elterwater, JP managing to clean the hill climb in full fat mode (no mud you see;). Then we dropped down to Elterwater, cross the lane and climb up the testing track, right at the top and down the technical route, back via the quarry and back up to the YHA and back via the caves and a nice technical drop into the last section and back to the cars. Just over 10 miles and safely back, why mention safely... due to the fact that a colleague had been playing ultimate Frisbee the night before and had fallen over on the playing field and broken her ankle which meant a week in hospital and metalwork in the leg, Ouch! So take care out there.
Next ride Barley bridge, Staveley
