2 Bike Ride Sunday 27th Oct

9.30am Dalston new car park (NB clocks go back) Via Beaumont and Burgh by Sands to Watchtree Nature Reserve at 16 miles. There is a Hallowe'en treasure hunt but most children will be outdoors. The RSPB at Campsfield can not be guaranteed to be open as it is staffed by volunteers so lunch will be at The King's Arms at Bowness which has a 'Small Menu' of soup, sandwiches and such-like. Those with BYO can go to the shelter at the end of the wall. The total distance is around 45 miles; those going 'around the island' via Anthorn will do a bit more. The wind is forecast WNW max 14mph and max gusts of 24mph but there should be sunshine.

Sunday 27th October - 3 bike ride

The ride will start from Keswick and not Greystoke.   I realised my mistake only after the rides list had been published.  Too late to alter it.
The route will include only one stop.   The ride will start from behind the swimming baths at 9.30am
The route will be Newlands Pass, then over Honister to Portinscale for lunch.   Then Whinlatter and back over Newlands and return to Keswick   The distance will be about 40 miles.
At the moment, the forecast is looking good.  Remember the clocks go back so you will have an extra hour in bed!   Hope to see some of you at the start.

MTB ride Friday 25th Cancelled

Sorry folks. I can't lead the mountain bike ride on Friday, and Anne can't either as she is incapacitated.

The Bring-and-Share Lunch at 12.30 is always a good get together. 

To plan catering please indicate before Thursday 24th on the link below if you are attending lunch.  If you cannot bring food there ought to be plenty to share, but we ask that you pay £5. In either case please complete the form HERE.

"Giving something back":  please think about giving a small amount of time to the basic functioning of the club.

2 bike ride on Wednesday 9 October

Hi everyone

Hope you can join my ride leaving Dalston new car park at 9.30 heading to Wigton for coffee at the best cafe ever (they do gluten free). - The Monkey Tree (down a wee side lane (Westmorlands Lane) but usually has a sign up on the pavement) at around 10.30 ish, (they are expecting us should you make your own way there). Then a wonderful jaunt through back roads to Blencogo, West Newton, Allonby ending up along the coast at the Dune cafe just passed Mawbray for lunch.  Return will be via Abbeytown, Lessonhall and back to Dalston early afternoon.  

Look forward to seeing you.

It vacuums up as it goes along! No thorns on Dutch roads.
