Dalston to Upfront and return via Caldbeck, 2 bike ride

Leave Dalston at 9.30 to reach Upfront by 11.00. Probably return to Dalston via Caldbeck where we could have another stop. Probable ROUTE HERE. About 35 miles.

If anyone would like to put on a longer grade 3 ride, please feel free to do so - perhaps from Dalston too (working on the successful model that some of us enjoyed from Lanercost on Sunday).

3 Bike Ride from Lanercost 09.30 Sunday 17th March.

50 mile 3 bike ride on Sunday at 09.30 hours from Lanercost, riding in the 'tracks' of the Romans & Reivers. Map/route/GPX file >> HERE <<  There is car parking at the old bridge (What 3 words location ///good.weeknight.tables) which is the start location. 

There are no cafes or facilities on the route (after Birdoswald) so it's a BYO picnic at Bewcastle. However there is a 'honesty' box selling cakes & biscuits at Byers farm just before Bewcastle. IT IS CASH ONLY WITH CORRECT CHANGE NEEDED. Further refreshments can be had back at Lanercost.

Everyone welcome. Text or WhatsApp 07855534727

Cheers, John H

Sunday 17 March 2 bike ride from Lanercost

The plan for the 2 bike riders is to follow the Cross Border Sportive route of 30 miles into the wilds north of Lancercost. There are very few cafes and none in the right place so bring your own supplies for a stop at Bewcastle. It's a 9.30 start so even at my (slow) pace, we hope to be back at Lanercost cafe having lunch by 1 pm. I'm hoping it won't be as wet as recently...

Please text or message if you're coming. On recent form, cancellation is a possibility and I wouldn't want to miss anyone.

All welcome,

3 bike ride Wed 13 March - CANCELLED


Looks like Wednesdays ride is in about the worst area for rain and wind but then it is the 13th. As a result I am going to cancel. Sorry that my enthusiasm to fill up some spaces on the runs list has failed at the first hurdle but I'm sure things will improve. There is a coffee stop in the hub in Appleby - see below
