looks eyewatering. I'm probably going to do this ride this weekend: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dave-lowe/3990141566/

what can I expect…?

oh yeah, anyone know where this is?

you can expect 20 ish miles and 4000 ish feet of climbing and a cracking ride .

weather permitting we are doing it on friday all be it very slowly due to lack of bike riding and too many pies N Pints

oh yeah, anyone know where this is?

it must be on the fells above the south end of Derwent Water. Just looking at the map now…

.. I think it's Bleaberry Fell NY 278 202

If you have the weather, probably one of the most memorable days you will ever have on a bike.

oh yeah, anyone know where this is?

That's coming down Ullock Pike – with Bassenthwaite below and Barf / Whinlatter in the distance.

Coniston from Parkamoor. Cracking area to ride a bike.

I got one just like that, but with added snow 😉

Actually got a nice print of it as well from Photobox when they were doing poster offers. need to get it framed.

Bit over to Seathwaite from Stephenson Ground?

Grum wins the cuddly toy.

Ah well done Houns, your no 2, my bench spot 🙂

Bit over to Seathwaite from Stephenson Ground?

Long Mire ? I don't recall the bracken…

[edit] oh yes, the lower section 🙂

HA!! In your face sfb!! 😛

Cheers all, great ride, rocky!

Try again, apols.

Did the Coniston – Grizedale – Parkamoor – Blawith – Seathwaite – Walna Scar loop on Sun.

I didn't expect it to be this rocky! Bits of the trail, especially down Walna Scar and into Seathwaite, were like riding in a gravel pit, except the bits of gravel were torso-sized! Not sure if that's rideable…! Also I did not expect the c.90 minute hike up Walna Scar out of Seathwaite…anyone here ridden that (and lived)? Got nicely lost on the fells after Blawith, glad I'd recently bought a simple GPS device otherwise I'd have been f**ked. What else, oh yeah, cheers for the tip on here about the descent to Stephenson Ground along the gorge, great stuff cheers

pics in reverse order ish

So a mixed bag really, great scenery and some awesome trails, but too much pushing/impassable rocky terrain (c50%), I was craving a nice wooded singletrack with berms etc. by the end although I know that's not in the spirit of things. some awesome terrain out there.

Apols, third time lucky, edited preceding post

Looks good mate. I'm assuming you got lost around here :-

Dont sweat it. I have never got it right in about 4 attempts.
