Rider ability: 
Estimated Distance: 
85 miles

This trip is the next one up on the calendar so time to get organised.

The route will be the same as last year (thanks to Neil Poll) but we will go clockwise, the other way around to last year.

Starting in Kendal it is 85 miles and 8,000ft of climbing. Starting with Shap Fell, then Great Dun Fell, cafe in Appleby, back to Kendal.

Great Dun Fell is unique and you really need to ride it. A dead end road up to a radar station, restricted for cars so pretty much traffic free. A 4.5 mile climb of 2,100ft with an awesome descent.

We will ride as a group, the distance and climbing will dictate a sensible pace.

Meet in Ormskirk at the car park next to the bus station ready to leave by 6.30am.

Arrive at Castle Drive, Kendal, LA9 7BN for 8.00am, there is a car park next to the football ground.

Sort bikes and kit, leave at 8.30am.

Estimated times, about 5.5/6 hours riding, total 7/7.5 hours back to Kendal would be 3.30/4.00pm.

Who is up for it?

Ride Date: 
Sun, 17/05/2015
Departing time: 
6.30am
Departing from: 
The Bicycle Lounge, Moor Street, Ormskirk
