Lower Man - White Side - Raise - Sticks Pass down to Glenridding gets my vote. Nethermost Pike - Birk Side - and Comb Crags down to Wythburn is an interesting alternative if you don't mind ending up Thirlmere side.

Dollywagon down to Grisedale down to Glenridding.
If you must end up on Thirlmere, ride the techfest that is Dollywagon then down Fairfield which is a fast blast. It's the most descent you'll get on that side.

Bear in mind that all the descents on the Thirlmere side are steep.
The one to Wythburn is *properly* steep with some long sections of stone pitching - might depend on your definition of "fun".

The descent down to the red tarn (?) is ace:
