There were 10 riders, Yoshimi (Danny),Deejay (Dave), Donc (Dave), Lowey (Dave), Faz, Steve, Brian, Junkyard (Johnny), Ton (thanks for the lift Tony!), SFB (Evil antichrist)
we did 20 miles round Grizedale & Claife (and NOT Coniston as I’d expected), following most of the route chosen by Fagus but with Titty’s track snuck in at the end, and a different DH to Esthwaite. As far as I could tell the others were able to resist my toxic influence, and they resisted the temptation to kick 7 shades of shite out of me and leave me bleeding and broken in the middle of nowhere :o)
And yes, it was good fun, with Deejay and I (the oldest 2) kicking the young un’s arses on many of the climbs 🙂
Weather initially grim and drizzly but later glorious sunshine 🙂
