Great ride, great weather, great scenery, great bikes and great company. I could tell you more but you really had to be there.

Sinnett177 broke his rear wheel and had to gently roll back down on the road to Coniston just before we hit the edge of Grizedale Forest.
So only 3 people turned out; myself, Sinnett and HarryCrumb.
It's a shame that so many people missed out on a brilliant route which was made even better by Mr Crumb's local knowledge. I was riding my Dyna Tech again and he was riding a lovely 1992 GT Avalanche and only managed to get three punctures to my none.
I know I said that I wouldn't say any more, but the route was so much fun on a fully rigid canti braked bike that I only wish we could've kept riding until sunset. My energy reserves had faded though by about 5pm despite the huge Bacon and Brie Ciabatta, extra loops and sensational flowing singletrack additions.
Well worth a return visit.

Gutted to retire mid way through this ride, but with a badly damaged rim I had no choice really.
Stunning views, trails and great company as always. A definate for a return visit.

Bad luck Mark. I guess all these retro parts will eventually wear out.
I'm gutted I missed this ride, seems it was so good the camera only came out once

Just ordered some new rims for the Raleigh, soon as I have them built up i'll be back for more!
Heres a couple of pics of the damage:
We took the tyre off and bent the rim back into some sort of shape. Then marked the ends of the crack to show if it was getting worse, to be fair the crack had'nt enlarged by the time I got back to Coniston.
