Seen the pics not happy :-(

Will update later on :-)

My Wednesday night ride group are all Dads and we have a range of ages of kids but we usually meet at 7.30 7.45 without fail in the southern Lakes and half the lads live in Lancaster its just a case  of  making the effort  and whatever the weather  2hr 30 ride then last orders at the pub,most rides start from a pub.

Rich

Unable to make this :-( how do you inform the organisers

Looks like another trail I can add to the http://www.southlakesbikefest.com gravel ride :-). Defo not Garburn

Liverpool winning the League :-)

FFJA I was pretty stressed when I opened the van door and found the cat the prospect of a 4hr round trip did not appeal @ 8pm so glad I found your Mum and Dad the cat  seem to enjoy the trip home. What is it with the Aviary thats pure cat torture :-)

Loving the Ardrock Marshals support from here! It is a great event and looking forward to riding again next year maybe they could get people to start at different stages  as stage 6 and 7 do not get riders through until about 11/12am set people off in waves first lot go to 1  and the  next wave go to  stages 3 or 4 then do the circuit maybe a few more miles on the road but quite doable.

In the same boat as Troutie probably will not marshall again as it is really hard work ;-)

and to top it off the refused to pay for my cattery charges after I locked my cat in the van  ! bloody thing

:-)

Agree with Troutie they took the piss yesterday with the event running so late yesterday I was on 6 got back at 6.45pm hardly any thanks. They should have a cut off  a lot earlier. Did it this year mainly for an entry next year and £4.50 a pint!!!!!

Great vid sort ya bloody helmet strap :-)

Was considering it myself found this company campto

Sevylor owner here had it 5 years  bladders are a constant pain always splitting on the seams must have repaired them about 10 times. Using storm sure now as a fix and seems to be working , bladders are a fortune to replace

I cheated as my girls were camping at Loughrigg Tarn and I camped over I did set off after work :-)

80 mile gravel ride has been done a few little tweaks but this is a good example of the final route could you do it in a oner?

Lots of room for big buses pumping dirty tunes out!

I used one great bit of kit just a shame the bearings were so open to dirt and crap

Route up Great Dodd was dry as a bone,  a lot harder to climb than I remember the work on raise is an accident waiting to happen huge ramps at an angle big airtime for some people. Great ride uo Hellvellyn down Dollywagon up Fairfield and along the ridge down Alcock Tarn crACKING day.
