right kids, a date has been set.
the ride is gonna be on the 24th of january.
starting from Clappersgate.
we have a local guide (i think), but if not we will sort something.
it WILL be a full days ride, it WILL be cold, so come prepared.
and it will be a 10am start............ 8)
Doh, think I'm out with the Twisted Wheels lot from Manc that weekend around 'ere...
what you planning Tony?
is it open to anyone as there are few of us from kendal out that day and could tag along? Can guide routes around Clappersgate if needed.
If open to everyone I could quite fancy this ride.
open to whoever turns up.
do not know the route yet nick.
ok I wll book this one and bake some cakes for you as well.
I had better gets some miles in then. Not been on the bike since Spain (early Nov).
count us lot in, I think, hope the weather is better than this.
Just seen the location, 😀 any chance we can finish with Jenkins crag or Arnside intake? both great descents. 😆
"any chance we can finish with Jenkins crag or Arnside intake? both great descents"
Arnside intake,(Iron Keld) will be earlier on,I am planning to lead a 30 miler in a relativly small area,but, depending on how many come along may expand this a bit,Everyone very welcome but dont bring yer granny!
Would Loughrigg terrace do,to finnish? 🙄
The decent off Iron Keld is always a winner....
duly noted 🙂
Was going to say I have a nice route but I bow to the superior knowledge of GaVgAs
starting from Clappersgate.
Grid ref or some other streetmap type location would be good.
I am in if I can secure transport 😀

(Starting point at 10 am)
as requested,cheers trekster, looking forward to meeting up. 😀
I'm in - and I am sure there will be a few more coming from here as well
Yeah - might make an effort ;-D
Might be in, might be digging. That's helpful isn't it 😆
think I might turn up too...
Likewise...I think we briefly met on the last wet puncture ridden ride ❗as requested,cheers trekster, looking forward to meeting up.
Saw that parking area last time I was down, usually park along the riverside.
Looks like it could get congested if everyone turns up, there is room to double park there I think 🙁
We'll be up there as well.
May come up on the sat night. Anywhere good/cheap to stay over?
Assuming I get some good rides in between now and then I would like to come along to this.
"Looks like it could get congested if everyone turns up, there is room to double park there I think"
Good point trekster,its not to far from Ambleside though, and theres plenty of parking on the back road to A593-Rydal,(were finishing on Loughrigg terrace)
It would be a good idea to ride to the start point if possible,I am not sure how many will come along but I am working on another leader just in case,Maybe you could lead a group Trekster if theres, erm, tonnes! 😯
It is just a starting point,riders can park in Ambleside below Biketreks,or waterhead if they wish.(pay to park) 😥
Been known to park up the top of town in amongst the houses above the park across from the garden centre:oops:
If needs must. Will mail you the route/s I use.Probably near enough what you do but in different directions/combos. For my mates I try to keep big climbs to a min where possible/feasible.Maybe you could lead a group Trekster if theres, erm, tonnes!
two leaders dont be silly it is tradition to lead from the middle and only Ton has lost riders ..there were 47 that day though 😯
Sorry I'm late. Count me in and hopefully a few others too.
Be nice to meet some new faces.
I will try and make it to this one if it is ok?
Clappersgate @ 1000? Where abouts in Clappersgate?
Possible - need to check diary
nezbo,arrow,map, above thread. 🙄
I will be there, probably with a few others too.
Cheers GaVgAs got it now 🙂
Marin_Maketh_The_Man - do you want to car share? (or give me a lift?)
Is there room for an Irishman?
What bike?
Superlight?
What tyres?
Everyone welocome,even Irishmen.

Gavgas, YGM
Reckon this could even break ton's record if everyone turns up.
should be there prob plus others g
suitably vague??
suitably vague??
