Forecast seems to have improved today. Hope it sticks.

[GregMay]

It never rains in the Lakes....



Those that were there will know why .

[quimarche]

Just back from a short ride around Green Quarter. It's lovely & dry up there, apart from the few boggy bits which seem never to dry out. A lovely day here with cirrus, cirrostratus & cumulus and 20C.

Waiting on my bivy bag to arrive otherwise it's going to be flappy tarp and the stars for me! That's if my southern softie mate gets his @rse into gear and stops checking the weather...

[Lawmanmx]

[Roobell7]

What time is the ride supposed to actually start? The 100.?

0930 I think.

[jimxc]

We're Almost there. Magic sunset. Who's in the pub?

[ton]

i set off at 6am with the fast 200 lot, but with plans to get a 3 hour start on the 100 bunch.
managed to get halp way up Garburn pass before i had to call it a day.
i hasten to add, it was not through lack of fitness, but from my useless fused foot not being able to cope with pushing up the boulder field of a path.
i fell over twice fearing i was going to twist it or worse.

i have now come to the conclusion that my mountainbiking days are finally over.

[benp1]

That's a real shame. Why don't you try the rest of the route, it's all rideable after that push isn't it

[Teetosugars]

Sorry to hear this Tony..

[Bearbonesnorm]

Not all rides involve pushing Tony. Plenty of great riding and good times to be had without ... chin up.

[Fat tyre kicker]

Tony......I sympathise with your position, I'm struggling at the mo with a few issues
But have had a good day out walking today in the peaks and surprised myself....
Going to make changes to my bikes but keep going, yes the 'mountain biking' might
Change a little but gravel and forest is still riding.....

[Richard G]

Good to see a bunch of you again, and some for the first time.

Riding as mashed up as I was probably wasn't smart, but I don't think I've made things any worse, and as painful as it was, I wouldn't have missed it for the world. Great couple of days.

[paramart]

cheers rich great route and thanks to burty for nursing me around/ saving himself from ss agony

[Tonto]

What a great weekend. Just enough rain to keep the dust down :)
Thanks to Rich for organising.
Big thanks to Carl for the chain - saved my nuts from more dandy-horse agony.
Cheers to Matt for making the last 10 miles such a giggle.
Where do I sign for next year?

[fatbikerbill]

So Tonto,

I hope it wasn't you who had left a phone on charge in the cafe in Ableside on the Sunday.

[Tonto]

Not me, I turn my phone off while riding, don't want real life to spoil my fun.

[Single Speed George]

i found a garmin etrex and handed it in to Ritch so if you lost an etrex get on to him . !

[Roobell7]

Great weekend of riding and meeting bearboners

Had the pleasure of riding some of Saturday with Richard G and Javi, then burty and paramart back to Stavely on Sunday

Thanks to Rich for the great route and timely loan of a fat tube

[Karl]
