I've discovered this fantastic route where the roads are clear and the weather is fine 20°C and there's not a breath of a wind. Unfortunately it's somewhere in New Zealand so we'll have to make do with Culgaith.
Not surprisingly I have had to modify the original ride, but I've had a good look at the lanes today and around here they are mostly clear. It looks to be a beautiful day but may be a bit brisk! The revised route willl go up to Shap and down to Bampton (roads all clear) then across to Pooley (no)Bridge for lunch at GrannyD's which is open according to their website so it would be good to support them!(40km) Then we go through or round Penrith to get out to Greystoke Blencow Plumpton and back to Culgaith via one of several possible routes depending on how things go. (total 50 to 65mi - no rush) Refuelling at Station House on return for those that don't go home early!
Hope to see you either on the way or at the start(10.00) - parking in the yard for those that arrive early otherwise lay-by over the brow or in the village.
Geoff
