Gretna to Eskdalemuir Wed 15th

 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...

Sunday 5th Ride to Threkeld from Culgaith

  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...

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.
