    Hi, I'm up there pretty regularly, but live a good hour's drive from Burneside. Usually on my own, because there's only football and golf round here.

    Will be going over Walna Scar from Nibthwaite on Saturday. Let's hope the weather holds.

    My wife's claim to fame is that she once spent most of a Bank Holiday Saturday buttering bread and making jam sandwiches in the bus shelter in Burneside. Don't ask :roll:

    Sounds good! I would definitely be up for a ride next week or so. Will probably travel on my bill as well from Chorley.

    Hi, thats a quality ride.

    It's only 20 miles :oops:

    When I were a lad we used to do that ride before we got out of bed. Then we'd do Helvellyn before breakfast. Breakfast, what's that? Two slices of bread and dripping, without the bread. Then 18 hours down the pit before helping Einstein with his Theory of Relativity. Kids these days don't know they're born.

    Anytime you need someone to lower the pace and the conversation post on here, I'm a past master at both.

    Burnside..9 riders. Spoke to the guy at the front of the group earlier. It was his second Lakes ride and he was so knackered he could`nt sleep when he got home. Said he felt it for a couple of days but thouroughly enjoyed it. Going to work on his fitness, drinking and smoking before he ventures out on a "big" ride again!!!!!


    The guy grinning in the first photo...it was his first mtb ride in the Lakes but he is a bit of a runner/climber and has been on the Scar road area before, just not on a bike. He only bought that Giant a couple of weeks ago, upgrading from a very old hardtail of some undistinguishable make

    The guy in the white top was using this ride to log for his TCL assesment. He already has a BC Lev2 coach cert. Also a Lakes virgin.
