Damn I can't attend, dad's 60th party is now on that day. How selfish!

 

[philmedomsley]

Optimistic forecast. Best I have seen says dry and overcast. No torrential rain though.

 

[The Hodge]

Yeah Phil..its changed a bit ..but I will take that all day long ..

Could we take a roll call on Friday evening for those who can attend ..
Jaco is also a non starter as he is hosting a family event in his garden ..

Probably not now.

 

[The Hodge]

Probably not now.

Is that because there is no rain forecast ?
You did seem to enjoy that aspect in The Cheviots ...
See you another time ..

 

[philmedomsley]

Nance and Phil are in. See you at 10.30.

.I'm up in Scotland atm . but you never know.

 

[The Hodge]

A roll call was mentioned for this evening ..but I think we pretty much know who is going ..so unless anything has changed ..see you all tomorrow ..in brilliant sunshine ( but cold(ish) temps ...

 

[The Hodge]

Glad you (and everyone else ) enjoyed it Phil..
2017 was the last time I'd done that ride & funnily enough that was another forum ( different one ) ride ..that time on my Whyte T130rs ..much more fun on the ebike !
I really like the route as it has a bit of everything ..so my thanks to you guys for turning up .
Apologies to Wayne for being in a day dream on the way over and sailing past our turn-off at Penrith ..not realising for another 12 miles down the M6 ☺.
I left the camera duty to others today ( not really a conscious decision) and only took one pic at the very start ..

Look forward to seeing others ..cheers for capturing my best side Phil in the post above
Until the next time ..

 

[Tonybro]

Thanks for organising, Hodge...

The omens were good before arriving...

Only took a few myself..

According to my tracking, 23.13 miles, 1600kCals, 3210ft of climbing.

 

[The EMF]

A great ride out today on n the Southern Lakes today with the weather playing it’s part, the hills looked stunning draped in Autumn sunshine.
A great ride only matched by the company and craic of like minded Emtbers Good to on the trails again with familiar faces.
Loved it !

 

[The EMF]

My ride stats from yesterday

 

[The Hodge]

Pretty weird as a lot of my stats are very similar ..apart from height gain .
As yours and Tony's are in excess of 3000ft..mine must be at fault !

[The EMF]

Must be !

 

[Richywalker64]

Cheers guys for a another great day out

 

[Tonybro]

Video now available. Only short as didn't record the good downhill bits...

Hodge you are on candid camera...

 

[The Hodge]

Nice little video Tony ..my hearing must be worse than I thought as even when you told me I was on film ..it didn't register..
That climb out of Belle Grange is a right bugger ( I lost traction..but did eventually get back on )..and your footage probably showed less than half the climb ..
It was a crackin day

Just seen this ride out, looks really good. Does anyone have it saved on Strava/Komoot so I could give it a go myself, thanks.

I went along and really enjoyed it
I mapped it on OS maps if that's any use?

I’ve got the App so I could try it if you have a link.

Hawkshead and Grizedale bridleways

explore.osmaps.com

See if that works, if not I can send the link via WhatsApp or email
Also I've made it public on os maps and named it 'Hawkshead and Grizedale bridleways'

 

[Richywalker64]

This is what the route looks like in case you need to search on os maps for it
