....and weather not looking too good, so if you fancy meeting up for a coffee suggest you make your own arrangements. But note the post below for a Thursday ride which Phil has kindly arranged.

Can you please let me know if you can join me by usual means 07707215155.Cheers.

Self-Led rides with link to the route now only appear on the Runs List which can be accessed on our Web Site . You will notice that there is now one for tomorrow, Wednesday 11th March, from Beacon Edge to Pooley Bridge (thanks to David F). Note that all rides now start at 9.30.

UP-DATE, Saturday 9.30: Geoff has alerted us to a potential problem for Sunday. The bridge at Askham is closed for repairs. So could members have a chat at Lowther over coffee to discuss what they want to do about the rest of the day! We are hoping to have Self-Led routes available for all cafe stops. We're not quite there yet but you will see new ones are appearing on the  RUNS LIST  which is available on our website. For instance there is one for this Sunday 8th March starting at Frenchfield and heading for Lowther Castle and then onwards. The route should be downloaded direct from the Runs List. At the start of this experiment I always posted on this blog a reminder of the upcoming Self-Led ride. In future the details will only be available through the Runs List. As usual, please text or WhatsApp Mike on 07906896503 or better still post your intention to ride on the EV cycling or Cafe Stops group App. This might encourage others to join you! This seems to have worked quite ...

 A slightly hilly ride on quiet roads to the coffee stop. E bikes and non electric welcome but please text me if you are coming to join me.  Rosie. 07818241833   https://connect.garmin.com/modern/course/435996129
