Sunday 5th Ride to Threkeld from Culgaith

By

 

Hi all, hope you can join me for a ride on Sunday, starting at 09:30.  The ride will start and finish in Culgaith, next to the school and opposite the rec, what-three-words ///crispier.contexts.nuptials.  There is space to park between the school and the recycling bins, or on the road next to the rec.  The 98km/60miles route goes to Threlkeld, north around Penrith and then back via Pooley Bridge and Askham.  Stops planned in Threlkeld (46km/28miles) and Askham (74km/45miles).  There is approx. 1250m/4000ft of climbing according to Garmin Connect – but expect a bit more as Garmin Connect always seems to under-calculate ascent.  I added Course points to the gpx for the 2 planned stops.  ROUTE HERE. 

Weather doesn’t look fantastic, but hey, it is summer.

There doesn’t appear to be any road closures affecting this route.

 

Please text or WhatsApp me if you are coming, whether to Culgaith or meeting up en-route.

Pyrenean Foothills (Mediterranean France) Cycle Tour

By
The landscape between Carcassonne, Foix and Perpignan is a delightful place to ride a road bike. It is peppered with deep gorges, vineyards, thick forests and spectacular medieval castles. The narrow roads that link the pretty, sun-baked villages are quiet, generally well surfaced and far from flat, making for a satisfying exploration of this beautiful area. Phil and I have signed up to join Marmot Tours “Pyrenean Foothills” trip from 15 th  to 22 nd  May next year. The trip starts and finishes in Foix (free transfers from/to Toulouse airport) and offers 6 days of cycling with several choices of route on each day. Follow this LINK for details of the trip and hopefully we can have a good contingent from Eden Valley in SW France. Sign and pay deposit before 15 th  November and get 5% discount.   Cheers, Bill 07921 297 045 Phil 07810 751 189
