Looks like a lovely day for a bike ride. There are two great rides to choose from - one to the west and one to the east. See the posts below from Martin and Jeff. We hope that as many as possible can join one of these great rides. We understand that the Post Box Pantry at Dufton will not be open on Wednesday, so we are suggesting that we use The Hideaway Cafe at Brougham Hall.
