It's not all straight down ..it undulates a lot ..and you will get a full body workout ..but it is fantastic !
I don't know which way your gpx file takes you once you have left Ravenstonedale but trust me the best option by a long chalk is the bridleway around Harter Fell and through Murthwaite as it gives you access to some fantastic woodland singletrack ..which you would miss going by the Adamthwaite option ..even if it's a Thwaite that's been named in your honour!
It's not all about the drop into Bowderdale ..there is some fantastic singletrack on the return leg ...

Looks like a killer start - a lot of climbing in the first 4 miles - pretty much downhill after that though.

Adam put the date up on the title mate Done it for him mate. It's a bloody shame that I'll be up there 2 days before and you lot can't make it  looking forward to riding with Neil and his crew obviously but it seems an age since I've ridden with you mob. My weekend ban is about to get serious too - the Dragon has an interview soon for a full time Mon to Fri 8-4 job and if she gets it that means the weekends will be strictly mine and hers, I'll be on a morning ride only curfew Sat and Sun. I can do what I want in the week but I know most of you can't. Shame. |

Best way to get fit is to do rides like this then! Get stuck into it and struggle through - next time out you'll be less fecked up etc.
I was dreading Snowdon in many ways but since completing that (and the up was a real battle for me) my fitness has suddenly taken off last couple of weeks. Enjoying biking more than ever and not dreading the climbs like I was before Snowdon.
