I a few weeks we’re away for a weekend, staying on the east side of Windermere.
Unless it’s looking like an utterly foul day, I’m thinking of taking the Friday off, going up early to get a ride in and meet the wife and kids when they arrive (fresh from Friday evening on the M6)
Am I right that one of the local bike shops (Wheelbase or BikeTreks) has (a) route cards and (b) showers (or at least changing facilities) or am I just imagining it?
Having said that, I have no issues dropping my shorts in a secluded car park.
As far as route goes, I’d be looking for something worth taking the day off for and something reasonably weather-proof – I don’t want to spend the whole ride thinking “this would be great in summer” but not a complete epic.
So what do you reccomend?
Where to set off from and what route?
TIA,
Higs
