 Hi all, Wed 15th July ride from the car park in the centre of Gretna, just off Central Avenue starting at 9:30am. Chapelknowe, Paddockhole, Bailehill, Castle O'er, Eskdalemuir for café stop at 24miles. If anyone is interested we can make a quick visit of the Samye Ling Tibetan Monastery which is around an extra mile there and back from the coffee stop. The coffee stop has an electric bike charging point but you need to fetch your own charging cable. Back via Boreland and Lockerbie where we can stop for ice-cream then back to Gretna via Kettleholm and Hoddam. Route Here Weather is forecast sunny with a light breeze, roads are rolling nothing too steep, gradual climb to the café then gradual downhill back, scenic route. I have named the route 'Wind Farms' as you will see a lot on the hills around us, but we are not getting up close enough to give any of them a hug, its just an excuse for me to name the ride starting with the letter W, makes it easy to find on the Garmin as i...

It would be lovely to see a few new faces as well as the regulars. I ll try and add the route before Sunday. The route is  Here Rosie

  Hi all, hope you can join me for a ride on Sunday, starting at 09:30.  The ride will start and finish in Culgaith, next to the school and opposite the rec, what-three-words ///crispier.contexts.nuptials.  There is space to park between the school and the recycling bins, or on the road next to the rec.  The 98km/60miles route goes to Threlkeld, north around Penrith and then back via Pooley Bridge and Askham.  Stops planned in Threlkeld (46km/28miles) and Askham (74km/45miles).  There is approx. 1250m/4000ft of climbing according to Garmin Connect – but expect a bit more as Garmin Connect always seems to under-calculate ascent.  I added Course points to the gpx for the 2 planned stops.  ROUTE HERE .  Weather doesn’t look fantastic, but hey, it is summer. There doesn’t appear to be any road closures affecting this route.   Please text or WhatsApp me if you are coming, whether to Culgaith or meeting up en-route. Gary 07964 591187...

It's July 1st and our 3rd Quarter Runs List is now available to view on our website.  As you can see, Phil and Rosie started today with two good rides. A big thank you again to them but as you can see there are only two other rides offered so far. Ride leaders can add rides to the spread sheet with the usual link and this link is also available below the Runs List on the website. If you haven't offered a ride for sometime please give some thought to adding a ride or two as you know how much they are appreciated. If you have never led a ride and would be interested please let me or any committee member know and we would be delighted to register you with CUK and help you through the process. And I know that members who are leaders would be very supportive and encouraging.

 Tour de Yorkshire from Kirkby Stephen.... Meet at Kirkby Stephen car park 9.30 (Soulby road, not in the square).  90km quite hilly. The route will go up Mallerstang over to Wensleydale and take the quiet back road past Hardraw, Askrigg and Bolton Castle. Then a really great road over to Grinton in Swaledale.  Return up Swaledale initially by a back road from Grinton then up the main valley past Gunnerside, Keld and finally the pass over to Nateby.   This route takes in all of Wensleydale and Swaledale The roads are mostly nicely undulating. There are two fantastic climbs/ passes: Bolton Castle to Grinton and Keld to Nateby.  Loads of cafe options. There is a great cafe at Bainbridge just off route which would be my suggestion for lunch, plus an extra refreshments in Muker or Keld before tackling the final hill to Nateby over Birkdale. David Fenna 07557 878594. Please let me know if you are coming , ideally WhatsApp on the led rides WhatsApp group.  Ro...
