Gravel Ride - Friday 15th

  This is a repeat of a gravel ride we did in June(11th) 40 ish miles of mainly easy tracks suitable for any bike but >32mm tyres. Suspension not necessary but maybe an advantage. Could see it as an easy intro to MTB / Gravel, that saying there are a few hills but nothing technical! Stop for refreshments at Orton possible but bring your own as well! 68km and 1612m up! But this can easily be edited  Weather light winds and sunny but 10°C Come and enjoy the last of the summer!! Start at Crodundle beck Bridge GR NY608282 - there's parking for a few cars on the road that goes to Acorn Bank Let me know if you are coming Text ( with name ) on 07711842885
