19th April 2018 - Tewitfield - Farleton

Grant and Jamie met at the lay-by by the Methodist church and Charlie and CT rode out on a nice evening for a ride, sadly JP was stuck in traffic down Blackpool way. We set off along the canal and to get to the first bit you actually ride along the M6! Then a little further along you go along the mainline railway tracks, all very urban to start. You also go past Holme and see the Mill Pond from the other side, then at the other end of Holme come out on the road and head east for the usual route up Farleton. Met a few folk out in the evening, bikers, walkers and runners, great views from the tops, with a level cloud layer the sun was setting beneath (see pic), so cooling down we headed back, Charlie has some ideas on getting back via the woods, so here goes...she had a map, so we had to keep up and hoped she did not put the hammer down;) it all went virtually to plan, a little bit of mud to keep us grounded, back on the road near Burton we headed won the canel for the route back or home. Nice to be able to ride out and nearly back in daylight, some lights used on the road.
Next ride Staveley

Charlie in action

Hardly moving

Sun below cloud layer
