12th April 2018 - Rydal to Elterwater ride

George, Grant and CT started from Pelter bridge car park and headed up to the coffin route back towards Grasmere, it had been raining heavily but had settled down to light rain when we set off, so the going was damp. Steady climb to start then the coffin route, this has had some treatment in areas but there are still tree roots around, nice views along the way now daylight is here:)

Just riding along

You can see the BW we will take later:)

We dropped into White Moss and down to the beech, here Grant managed to clean the steps down hill and was chuffed, climb up the hill and head past YHA to Elterwater, head through the quarry, up the technical climbs and down the fast lane and back for Loughrigg terrace, not the caves as George had a slow tyre leak and we had to keep pumping it up,  no obvious leak think it burped an edge seal and would not quite re-seal, so back to the cars. Nearly 10 miles!
Next ride Tewitfield!
