10th May 2018 - Grasmere

Jamie B, Grant, Phil, Jamie M and CT met in Grasmere for a sunny evening, so we headed up Easedale tarn for something different, up past the waterfalls, some boulder steps to negotiate and also memorise for the descent back down;) We got to the tarn and Grant decided he needed new brake pads for the descent and promptly started taking his bike to bits...at the most exposed and windiest point on the ride, even Phil put on a jumper!! eventually Grant got it all back together and we started the descent, which was fun, make sure you have brakes and a dropper post!


Product placement! 



We all made it back, down in the village Jamie Mac' decided to play safe and head back, so now we were four. So we headed for Red bank and climbed the bridleway up to Loughrigg terrace, here we saw a young deer just 25 yds away, earlier we had sight of a red squirrel, always good to see. Then we did the terrace and down to the caves, then cross over the main road and up to the coffin route, along and back down to white moss, along the river and back via the woods. All good 20km.
Next ride Lowick
