8th March 2018 - Gilpin Bridge

Jamie, Joel, Phil and CT met up at the lay-by, Phil thought it sounded a bit odd to meet up on a dark evening in a lay-by and drove round a couple of times as no one was there, but two of us cycled over, two had fat bikes, two 29ers;) all good so we set off north on the road and were honked at by a car, we just thought it was a MTB lover, but Phil thought it was one of his family relatives! Keep on going until the hotel and take the left bridleway up the tricky climb and it's tricky, keep going and meet the main lane, here we paused and heard some screaming sounds, could have been a werewolf, could have been some pesky kids or lambs crying for there mums...we shall never know as we didn't hang about. on-wards for a while then tee off left and nav' yourself up and over the tops, through some trees, over some rocks, enjoy the view back south, Blackpool perhaps? Steady away on this nice evening, virtually spring like, down to Beck head and over past Witherslack school and down into the woods, a tad muddy at this point, I shall not lie, JP did not like the mud! A top notch ride, great pope cake or is it hope cake by JB; we really must up the snack game folks! Back to the cars and a ride home for two of us, I had forgotten the M6 junction closure and so was dogging juggernauts down the A6!!
Next ride Ings

"Nice Words!"
