Sad news today as we have learnt that Len has died. He passed away suddenly mowing the lawn at his home in Rosley. He was a long term member of the club and you may have seen him this year at the club dinner and helping with registration at our recent challenge event. His wife Pat has asked that members of the club are kept informed and we will post again on the blog when we know of the funeral arrangements.

  Hi all,  Hope you can join me for a ride on Wednesday, starting at 09:30.  The ride will start and finish in Acorn Bank car park.  The 80km route (kept shorter and with less altitude due to the miserable weather forecast) goes across to Askham, down to Bampton, concrete road to Shap, Newby, Appleby then back fellside via Dufton.  Stops available at Askham, Bampton, Shap and Appleby – we’ll see how we feel based at the time.  There is approx. 900m of climbing according to Garmin Connect.  I added Course points to the route for Bampton, Shap and Appleby.   GARMIN   Route .   I haven’t checked the route recently so we will have to deal with any disturbances, like road closures, as we find them.   Please text or WhatsApp me if you are coming, whether to Culgaith or meeting up en-route.

Start at Greystoke carpark 9.30 am  The route is a approx 45 miles and moderately hilly, though there are options to shorten sections on the day / avoid the odd extra hill!  Garmin GPX is  HERE   I was going to lead this ride but am laid up with a lurgy of some sort so Gill Sharpe has gallantly offered to lead it.  The route heads out of greystoke to cross the A66 and head down to Matterdale. Then the route takes a loop around the hill just west of Dockray, so there is an option for some to leave this but out. It then gradually rises up the far side of Matterdale to go behind little Mel Fell past the Quite Site holiday park. Return to Greystoke and onto Upfront for the cafe.the return to Greystoke is the usual route over to Hesket Market and then the hilly way over to Mungrisedale  and Berrier. This is not the easiest way back but is very pretty!  Hazards to take care with are crossing the A66 on a Sunday , and avoiding pedestrians in the road near the...

The ride will start from Central Ave car park in Gretna at 9.30am.   The route to Langholm will be 25 miles on roads some of them I have not ridden before on a club outing.  The route will probably be a novelty for others.    Lunch will be at Whitshiels Cafe and I will make a provisional booking.   Thereafter the route takes a more predictable path to Claygate and and back to Gretna via Penton & Longtown. The route is here .   Contact me on 07709710301 if you are coming.   The total distance is 55 miles. At the moment the forecast is for rain much of the day.    Should be fun 😱 If the gpx route is not shown, click on ‘READ MORE’ and you will see it.
