Ride from Acorn Bank to Bampton/Shap/Appleby 2nd September

By

 

Hi all, 

Hope you can join me for a ride on Wednesday, starting at 09:30.  The ride will start and finish in Acorn Bank car park.  The 80km route (kept shorter and with less altitude due to the miserable weather forecast) goes across to Askham, down to Bampton, concrete road to Shap, Newby, Appleby then back fellside via Dufton.  Stops available at Askham, Bampton, Shap and Appleby – we’ll see how we feel based at the time.  There is approx. 900m of climbing according to Garmin Connect.  I added Course points to the route for Bampton, Shap and Appleby.  GARMIN Route.

 

I haven’t checked the route recently so we will have to deal with any disturbances, like road closures, as we find them.

 

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

RUNS LIST 1st QUARTER 2026

The list is now available for ride leaders to add rides. You will all notice that we are experimenting with Informal Self-led rides as discussed at our AGM. These are various routes  between 23 and 35 miles from designated starting points and include the café stop for that day. These can be downloaded for your ride. If club members intend to ride the route it would be useful if you text or WhatsApp Mike on 07906896503 so that we can assess how the experiment is going. You should also download the ICE (In Case of Emergency) list from our documents page (password protected so contact Mike if problematic!). This gives you all members’ emergency contacts. It is also very important that all riders follow our Code of Conduct and Group Etiquette advice which can also be found on our website 'Useful Documents' page. I will post on the blog any further information two days before each of the Self-led rides. I am very aware that we have some ride leaders who for some time have been offer...
