13th April 2017 - Staveley

Three of us made it out, Jamie Mac, Andrew and CT, we thought we may have more as Andrews family came out to see us and the little 'un was on his scoot along bike, but Mrs Andrew did not have her bike so they went back for an early bath night:) Which route asked Andrew what about that ride to Ambleside...well it's a far bit from here, perhaps start with Brow foot lane, then we headed up to Borrans, then up Dubbs and onto Garburn, nice steady climb and managed to clean it, at least to the gate, well cuffed until the others arrived and said that it seemed easier! Onward over the top and start the descent, Andrew found some new lines by following CT :O), it's a bit technical and requires some balance especially with weight distribution and speed, too far forward and front wheel dives in the loose stone, but still entertaining (at least I think so;), it was getting dark so some lights were going on, we made it down and then turned right at the church for three rivers, 'steady away' climb;) then 2 river crossings and watch the descent back. All good, back at cars, Andrews Garmin suggested around 15 miles, grand!
