15th February 2018 - Staveley

Charlie, George, Jamie and Ct met up in Staveley, it was a tad cold and we headed up the road to 3 rivers for a little tarmac hill to warm up with, instead of doing the steep tarmac lane climb we went along the bottom to the old pump works and along to Kentmere that way. Charlies brakes were rubbing due to different wheel set up and this slowed her down and she had studded tyres waiting for the ice and snow, so perhaps we should head higher up;) We made it to Kentmere but Charlies brakes were slowing her down ans so she headed back by the lanes. We decided to try Garburn as it was a dry if windy evening, steady climb up, but we met show soon enough and walked a far few sections, the top section between the top gates was windy, and wet underneath snow if you broke through, so a bit of a challenge and very windy! The first downhill was tricky too, snow not quite hard enough, then down to Dubbs and back.
Next ride is Clappersgate.

High viz bike is useful ;)
