Hi all I usually ride with a couple of others but no one can make it so thought I'd do an open invitation ๐Ÿ™‚
(Safety in mind best riding with others rather than alone).

I'll be at Moor Top Car park about 9.30 am Look for a very green bike lol

my thining was to play in the forest, that would test your camber fine ๐Ÿ˜€

and start at Satterthwaite as there is free parking ๐Ÿ˜€

We can do the first 2 sections of Northface, over to lawsons park down and up there, down the river run, up the bridalway by the new black route, over to the start of dads, grandads and needles to finish ๐Ÿ˜€

I can be finished for 11 and back home for the kids ๐Ÿ˜€

bike fully tested lol

philfive you have a good link to a map for the parking?

There is a spot just outside the Moor Top car park that has free parking as well 8) If you get there early enough LOL

Satterthwaite sounds like a plan though, can you post a link to where you wish to meet. I'll be heading in from Hawkshead as every time I try to come into Grizdale from the south I get lost in all those lanes lol

eighteighty off for two weeks so a early on a Saturday is fine ๐Ÿ™‚

If you get lost on the back roads mate - go this way (the way I go as I live about 1/2 way along it but its only 1 turnoff to take from the a590 and then that road takes you all the way in. Look I did you a map and everything!

I can meet you if you want? Say 7:45 at the first layby off M6 Jct 36 for Kendal, I can show you the parking and prevent you getting lost.
