 I'm afraid I'm down with a bug but hoping the anti-biotics do the trick! However, the route is  HERE , adapted from a similar ride by Ernest. If anyone is available to take it on, please feel free to take it on and post a blog.

Meet at 9.30am at the car park on Central Avenue in Gretna.    The route goes mainly north on minor roads to Lockerbie where we will stop for refreshments at Cafe 91.   We continue to Bankshill, Middlebie, Eaglesfield and then to Chapelknowe and back to Gretna.   Apart from the lumpy 6 miles between Lockerbie and Bankshill the route is gently undulating.   Total distance will be 45 miles.     Moderate rainfall is forecast for all day.   Personally I like a bit of rain.   Light rain can make an otherwise uninteresting ride quite pleasant.   If necessary the ride can be shortened.  I hope to see someone on my ride.   The route is  here     Phone or text 07709710301 if you are coming.

Rosie here on Phil’s blog. Ride starts opposite Penrith cemetery on Beacon Edge at 9:30. We are going over Strawberry Hill to Lazonby , KO ,Busk, Gamblesby to Melmerby for the coffee stop. Route will be below but may change slightly depending on the weather. Phil is coming on this ride but would be delighted if anyone wants to go a bit further and faster in a break off group.  Let me know if you intend to join me either at the start or anywhere along the route.

 Armathwaite (meet at the bridge) up to Hartside via Croglin and Renwick. Down to Slaggyford, cafe at the Nook Farm Cafe, Return via Hallbankgate and Talkin. 45 miles but always feels hillier than the gpx route says, 3000 ft of ascent. The route takes the small road that peels off near the bottom of the Hartside road, Care is needed when turning right onto this.  Meet at 9.30 at Armathwaite Bridge  Should be a good day!
