With the forecast for rain most of today for the L Loop, it’s perfect for them – glorious sunshine, very light winds and not too warm. A little jealous watching them go by while I garden with the kids.

We were on top of whinlatter early afternoon when the snow/hale hit. Would not want to be out on road bike on the other passes in that weather.

Aye – I jinxed it.

Did he Lakeland Lood today and the weather was nigh on perfect. Just warm enough, light winds and great views.

Where were you Boxelder?

Lorton

The late starters/slower types got caught by showers later on I guess. Cold and fairly strong wind blowing up Crummock/Buttermere by 2pm

Boxelder – why were you not out riding??? You have quite a big ride coming up next month 🙂

Tapering…………and I’ll be drafting you.

RULES

Complete the entire route, under your own power – no drafting
Be completely self-supported throughout the ride – absolutely no support crews, absolutely no gear sharing
Only use commercial services that are available to all challengers – no private resupply, no private lodging
If you have to leave the route, you must rejoin it at the exactly same spot
No caches of any kind
No pre-arranged support, which means before you begin your ride – e.g. booking a B&B, arranging to meet a vehicle
No travel by any motorized means during your ride – by all means do so if necessary, but understand if you do your attempt is over
Gear – nothing required, nothing prohibited

😉

Yeah, but I’m borrowing Jnrs Harvey Snotter Invisibility Cloak.
