2 Bike Ride on Sunday 16th December and a note about the alternative coffee stop

I have decided to make this a one stop ride as the days are short and we might be able to coincide or at least overlap with the self led riders at Granny Dowbekins. I hope we will arrive at Poole Bridge by 12 noon taking an 18 mile loop from Greystoke in the morning. Hopefully the weather will be bright and we might get Christmas card views of the northern fells from the Hutton Roof and Berrier area. In the afternoon the ride back to Greystoke will be about 17 miles via Askham, Penrith and Newton Reigny. As it is likely that we will cut through Lowther and Newton Rigg you might like to think about which steed to bring - although there are only very short sections of rough.
