It was my turn to lead a ride for the Cumbria TRF so a group of 6 of us met up at Hartside Cafe at 9am this morning, all keen and eager to work off our christmas excess!
Nigel, from Dumfries, Del from Penrith, (both on a pair nice 6 days KTM's, then James on his 2 stroke Kawazaki, Gary on his Reiju 450 which also has a Recluse Clutch and loads of other trick bits. Lucy & I made up the 6 so that was us off into the first lane just down the way from Hartside Cafe...
Tynehead was next up, with the usual fun as people got stuck or had issues with the ruts, Coldberry Moor down and around past Nenthead and back around to Alston for some fuel and food.
We had a play in Limestone Brae which wasn't as deep as I thought it would be, all across in one piece this time, even Lucy...
Isaacs Tea trail followed and a play in the ruts and mud on a lane I don't know the name of, then it was back to Hartside for some lunch and tea before heading down into the Eden Valley for a play.
