[#2109564]

I'm revisiting a trail I've not done for years- actually, the one that got me into cycling as a yoof.

Has anyone got a decent OS route for this ride? Look at the OS on Bing it's along the edge of Rydal Water from Grasmere, then up a big steep hill, down some nice singletrack and back around to Grasmere.

Are there any nice extensions you can throw onto the end of this ride? It'll be a mixed ability group but having done it as an 11 year old on a rigid I doubt it'll phase anyone, but let's say "medium" difficulty on the MBR scale.

Luke, when you there? I might be able to show you some nice stuff out that way...

But make sure your bike actually f***ing works this time and you bring a chain tool!

Edit: whatever route you do, make sure you finish on Loughrigg going down it from High Close down towards Ambleside. The other way is WRONG!

It'll be the 6th of Novemeber, and as ever, we'll be arriving quite late on in the day.

My bikes behave themselves now. Honest!

It'll be a bit bogtrotter tacular- there's at least 12 of us.
