3 riders turned up for this ride Jamie, Charlie and George.
We set off up the Lyth Valley road and instead of taking the bridleway opposite the Hotel we took an earlier left up the Row to join the track that leads up to the Heavey Reserve. Conditions were very dry and even though it was overcast the views were excellent. After passing through the reserve and heading for the cairn we spotted some other riders coming behind us. Just before the cairn we turned right and Jamie took us on a very interesting fast single track which took us back to the start of the reserve.
We then headed back up to the cairn where we caught up with the other riders one of them was a work collegue of Charlie's.
We then carried on across the top of the ridge and down the tricky section through the woods to the bottom of Whitbarrow, we then headed towards the school avoiding the muddy track on the right. Then up to the woods where Jamie and George took the left track and Charlie went right. Back to the road taking a right down the bridleway to the Derby Arms. Charlies friends were having a drink and we proceeded back up the road to the start. Jamie cycled home. Total distance 15.5miles
Next ride Staveley on 16th August
