4 met up for a summer
shower ride, included about 23 gates, 14 odd miles, some tarmac entertaining for us listening to the Wednesday tyre rubber;) Charlie,
George, Joel and CT, but would we all make a start… someone,
Charlie, had left her shoes, what to do, see who had small-ish feet,
time pedals AND a spare pair in their car, what odds would you get.
...blooming ‘heck Joel delivered, or 2 out of 3 as a tad too large
but OK to ride in, result!
So Charlie fancied the
section that finishes at the cars, down Blackmoss, so we worked out a loop to end there and headed to
Staveley then up Staveley head and Green quarter, steady away, but
not for Charlie 2nd piece of bad luck, new brake pads just thicker
than the old ones so binding on, oh well good for resistance
training (that's easy for us to say;) Then half way up the first Hill
and no gears, guess what a piece of gravel had become lodged in
front mech, Charles bike again, so that's the third bit of
misfortune, all done? So onward for the steady climb up the toboggan run, some
rain showers but not too bad, down to Kentmere and discuss the tower
refurbishment. Now climb up and head past all the sheep with lambs
bleeting away, go through the top river and along to head back via
high borrans and the road back via Black Moss. More sheep and final
off road through the woods, nearly safely back but no CT slipped a front
wheel on a rock and went down landed on a rock but nothing broken,
ouch! Back to pub for a drink and chat.
Next ride Tebay. Leaving the motorway (from south?) take the 3rd exit on roundabout and then the 1st left and park near the playpark
