Eden Valley Cycling UK

Ride this Sunday, leaving from Croglin Village Hall at 9.30am. We will be travelling through picturesque fellside villages with fine views towards the fells, on small country lanes to Dufton. Lunch stop at Dufton. BYO lunch or cafe available in Dufton village. Travelling back to Croglin with some variation to the outward journey. We will be travelling at a leisurely pace, mostly easy going, but some steeper hills to climb nearer to the Croglin end of the journey. Approximately 40 miles in total.  

Since there is nothing planned I've added a ride for Wednesday 29th June coming from Tebay. Coffee/Lunch in Dent? Meeting close to the Sports Ground where there is plenty of parking 0930. Hoping some may have been re-invigorated by the Tri-Vets (which I was unfortunately unable to attend 'though glad it went so well!) We go out along the Fair mile to Sedbergh then Barbon village Barbondale up Dent dale and over the Station road to Garsdale head. Finish up the Tommy road to Ravenstonedale Route here when I have it uploaded. Good weather (compared to Orkney!) if a little showery in the afternoon.

Many many thanks to everyone for making Tri-Vets a GRAND day out (weren't we blessed with the weather!). In particular I would particularly like to thank the volunteers who organised and served the food, laid out tables & chairs, ride registration, ride leaders, did route risk assessments etc etc..... I would also like to thank all those people who came along on the day for the ride - the event would not have happened without you. It was a pleasure meeting so many new people. A few statistics from the day Youngest rider - 50, oldest rider - 80, average age - 68. Total number of riders was 46 (100km 24, 100 miles 22).

 Rosie and I are going to ride from Beacon Edge cemetery lay-by, Penrith at 10.30. We are cycling to the cafe at Mosedale Quaker meeting house for lunch at 12.30. They do soups, sandwiches and cakes. About 22 miles to the lunch stop via Skelton and Hesket Newmarket and 15 back. Please text Rosie on 07818241833 if you wish to join us, either on the ride, or for lunch so we can inform the cafe of numbers.

 Pop up cafe at Kirkandrews-on-Eden 8th & 9th July. They are exploring the idea of opening a weekend cafe and if this is successful the aim would be to have a more permanent arrangement in the new parish hall.

Leaving from Dalston car park at 09:30 hours Sunday the 19th June. A relaxed 50 mile ride to the coast at Silloth thus easing us into the EVCUK TriVets event on Wednesday.  A fairly flat route with around 1,000 feet of climbing. The weather looks good with the forecast for a warm, dry day with sunny intervals and a moderate breeze. Plenty of options for lunch at Silloth including cafes, byo for a picnic on the green or fish & chips by the sea, candy floss or toffee apples, ice cream & all the fun of the fair😁 Map and GPX file  >> HERE <<   Text or WhatsApp 07855534727 Cheers, John H
