25th October 2018 - Hawkshead Hill for Grizedale

3 turned out, Charlie, Jamie M and CT, forecast had minimal dampness, nature decided to prove BBC weather wrong and sent some drizzle over, nothing too bad so off we went...where to go, Grizedale has a load of trails to choose...head up and left towards Moor Top red trail, good choice as a starter and down to the rock garden, more decisions but decided not to loose too much height and headed up the fire road. Headed over to Parker moor, past the house and left into the forest, dropped down one section of singletrack, more fire road, singletrack, some red trail all good and then back to the cars. Nice ride out 12 odd miles. No photos but did wee two deer, sometimes their eyes do look odd when glowing reflection of head torches.
Too dark for pictures, so here's a couple from an Autumn weekend:

18th October 2018 - Farleton

Well a bit of a gap between write ups, maybe I've not been out much;) last week there we a mini ride (or was it a bike test;) and a few others came to the pub for food at the Derby Arms, like an end of season small gathering but we did raise a drink for George as he was away and JP who was on the train! Nice to have a little catch up, Neil was in training and did not let on about his Blackpool plan for the next Sunday, it is a flat ride and includes a ferry! Good effort all round, worth the training camp;)
So Jamie M and CT made it out for a ride up Farleton on a fine evening, plenty of starts out, it was cool but OK once you got going. It is a nice ride with technical aspects to make it interesting, just nice to get out on the MTB!
