Thought I'd stick up a couple of pictures for my weekends ride in the Lakes.
I go to the lakes pretty regularly but never manage to take any pictures.
Stayed just outside Ambleside of Friday night and woke to a misty start
After the first short climb I popped out of the mist and into the sun
A bit more climbing and I'm well above the clouds
Cows on the climb made for an interesting line choice
Typical Lakes bridleway
here's Saturdays route
Ambleside
Saturday afternoon was dog walking time so we headed up to Alcock tarn which overlook Grassmere.The climb up was tougher than the morning bike ride and really took it out of my legs.Cracking views
We move to Moor Top for Sundays ride.
Kirky72 sent me the route for the forum ride around Grizedale on the 10th so it was rude not to give it a whirl whilst I was up here.
Only took one picture as it was really foggy for the majority of the ride and I don't want to give to much away
It's a tough climb about 18 mile in
My legs where knackered after yesterdays walk and this just about finished them off.
Heres the route, got lost a few time and had to keep stopping to make sure I was going the right way.It's a cracker of a ride.
