Anyone know how long it should take from stavely to troutbeck, garburn, kentmere then staveley?

thanks

Anyone?

No more than a couple of hours if you’ve got ok fitness.

As mentioned above, 2.5-3.5 hours….weather and fitness dependant

What Daffy said unless your are some kind of fitness freak

Has it been sanitised yet though?

Can you do it in the middle ring or does it need granny?

I took my granny, she did nothing but complain grandad however was busting moves all the way down

Has it been sanitised yet though?

I rode it last month from Troutbeck to Kentmere. It’s got loose gravel all over it now, which made the climb almost impossible in places – the gradient wasn’t the problem, it was the lack of traction. The descent into Kentmere used to be quite challenging with lumpy rocks in places; now the challenge is to stay upright on all the loose gravel and stones which encourage high speeds but aren’t actually much fun to ride on 🙁

This isn’t santisation on the Kentmere side – it changes after each storm / dry spell

Last time I was up (which was quite a few months back), it had been sanitised on the troutbeck side. This often gets done and it almost never survives a winter.
It’s still a tough climb, and traction is an issue as mentioned above. Not as good as it used to be. I need to drop to a 22T ring so I think if you’ve only a middle you maybe walking sections, although you might well be stronger than me (which isn’t difficult).
Anyway, I’d imagine the route you describe would be 2 hours.
