Is this 10am meet ride for 10.30 or 10am riding time ?
9.30 meet for a 10am start
As ton says, 930 (Cake eating competition)...lol 10am Start 😉
Weather forcast for Thursday looks "Interesting" 🙄
Give us a clue to what route your have in mind?
Out and along the Lake side, over to Near Sawrey, along to Far Sawrey and up Claife, down to Hawkshead for coffee. Then along to Iron Keld, Tilberthwaite/Langdale and Loughrigg to finish. Hows that for a route??
GaVgAs - The only "extreme" thing about KMB Tuesday night riders is the amount of time spent in the pub compared with time on the bike!
We may send a group down to scratch their chins and whinge about the route choice though ❗
Coming over from Leeds for the weekend and will hopefully be able to get across (from Patterdale) to join in with this. 😀
Hi AndyG/RedBarchetaa. JH from the other site 🙂

Well yes.Its all in there,but not neceserlly in that order!..and I will be adding quite a bit.
I do tend to make the route up as the day develops,but I also like to do trails in the right direction,The MBR lakes route does Iron Keld in reverse! 😯

They do seem to attract the "I can do it the hard way" types ❗

No still got this bastard post viral bastard fatigue and doing any serious exercise seems to make me feel knackered and ill for about a week. 😡
Have fun though. 🙂
I have that too, but I am going to suffer for the cause 🙁

That's up to Brian!
Gav, pick up location as discussed - it's code green...
I will be a no show I am afraid, I've been to the Physio this evening from an ongoing issue which I thought might have been a knee problem but luckily at lest I think luckily, I have tendonitis in one of my thigh muscles, so had some ultrasound treatment and need to rest it only doing light exercise, I did ask but she felt that 20 miles in the Lakes didn't fit that. 🙁
I'll be back though it needs sorting as the pain has been stopping me sleeping some nights but fixing it will be ace and am looking forward to getting back to full strength 🙂
Have fun on the trails and post some pictures so I can see what I missed.
OK Boxelder, I will issue the destination with the given password at 1201hrs tommorow,code green it is. 🙄

When your back up to fitness get in touch with me,(email in profile) I will do a route of your choice,in the Lakes some time,get well soon.
cheers Gavgas really appreciate that and will take up your offer as I was looking forward to my Lakes experience 😥
Tony & co - I'm planning on getting over for this one, confrimation on Saturday as I'm hoping a friend of mine can come as well.
Think the meeting point may be mobbed with cars so will probably park in town and ride to it. Is it possible to have a contact phone number in case of getting lost or running a smidge late ??
Also, i can't seem to view the map link with the meeting point shown, could someone re-post it please.
Cheers.
07549807923

Cheers - will be discreet with usage !
it is a works pay as you go, so no worries.

Meeting point here :-

It is a fairly small car park.
However, unless your going to be early then I would suggest parking here :-
Plenty of spaces along the side of the river.
Feeling dog rough today, starting with a cold I think.
Nice one lowey - I think we've met on the Calderdale one ?
We did indeed matey.
Oops - slightly embarassed, may recognise your bike (Ragley ?), but can't remember your name !
Gav - can you text your number to me: 07896368351. I'm still trying to persuade the friend I said I'd ride with on Sunday that he needs to come to Ambleside instead; but should be there 🙂
Lowey I have a postcode that should be very cloase to that second suggestion, the riverside parking, that should help those of us relying on Sat Nav - LA22 9LJ.

No mate. That was NBT from here. I was on the battered old turner and got lost. Spent 1 hour at the cafe staring at the ladieeees.

Bit last minute but can anyone suggest any decent bike freindly b&b's in or near Ambleside for Saturday night? Just found out the one I usually go to (Meadowbank -highly recommended by the way) is closed and YHA Ambleside is too. Secure bike storage prefferable. I know there's loads in Ambleside but a few names would help. Hope to see you all on sunday.

Precisely. Coffee, cake and ladies sadly not in shot.
I have a lift from the-artist-formerly-known-as-Marin-maketh-the-man-who-now-rides-a-proper-bike 🙂
so now anyone who thinks I'm a disruptive influence can throw their teddies out of the pram and sulk 🙂
barnes, if you become disruptive, the lakes that you like to play in/on are waiting for you to be thrown into........ 😉
barnes, if you become disruptive
what do you mean "become" ? I am what I am and that's all that I am 🙂 Dunking won't stop that.
I thought dunking re-activated it ;-D
Simon if you get dunked and covered in pond weed you can make your own way back to Lancaster 😉

I'm very hot blooded and will soon dry out - you remember when I fell in Rusland Pool 🙂
also isn't it time you changed your name to <fill in bike name here>_Maketh_The_Man now ?? It only takes a minute...
I'll never forget your excaliber impression at Rusland pool!
May change my name sometime, but Orange_Maketh_The_Man is stretching teniousnes (sp?) a step too far..
Man_Sucketh_The_Orange ??
