Eden Valley Cycling UK

A way out of lockdown: We can now meet outside with up to five other people, provided those from different households continue to observe social distancing rules, so up to six people can therefore cycle together in a socially distanced group. If you are travelling by car to exercise or spend time outdoors, the guidance also states that you shouldn’t travel with someone from outside your household unless you can practise social distancing.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          As an experiment for August, we are suggesting leaders add their names to this calendar link as a "Named Contact", give a starting location and time and add any appropriate notes. Details of the ride will be posted on the blog later. It might even be appropriate to discuss the rou

Sunday 2nd August 0930 I am proposing to go from Lazonby Carpark near the Eden Bridge (NY 549413) up over  Hartside and predominantly back lanes to Haltwhistle.   Computer he say 96km and 1579m of ascent . It would be great to see anyone who would like an outing with company. If there is a huge number of takers then we can split up into suitably sized groups! May be showery, but mild; I would suggest bring supplies but if you forget Alston garage, Haltwhistle and Brampton possible for supplies on route. Map here

I'm going for a ride up to Bewcastle on Wednesday with James leaving Dalston at 09:30. Estimated distance 50 to 55miles. It is a clockwise route going north around Carlisle and returning via Lanercost & Brampton. If you would like to join us then please let me know. Cheers, Bill

My ride from Dalston on Wednesday 15th is now full. If you would like to ride in a group I would suggest that you join with Mike in Hesket Newmarket in previous blog post. Cheers, Bill

Adding to Bill's ride (see post below), I am going to ride a shorter and moderately paced ride on Wednesday ("2 bike" style). I'm leaving Hesket New Market car park at 9.30 around the northern fells then around Derwenwater and return via Threlkeld. Forty miles. If you would like to join please let me know. I will be sticking to a maximum group of four.

I'm thinking about a ride up Hartside starting from Dalston Car Park on Wednesday 15th and it would be good to have a bit of company. Out via Armathwaite & Renwick, back via Melmerby, Skirwith & Plumpton. Total distance about 55miles. Bring food & drink as I'm not sure what will be open. Let me know if you would like to join me. Cheers, Bill
