Anyone else doing it? http://bowlandbadass.com/

Set out on an early morning plod with a friend as part of our prep for the Badass, a lovely day, a little breezy in places, but the sun was out Ride can be found here: http://app.strava.com/activities/57540244

Set off early to avoid the traffic and headed out towards Lorton, beautiful views over towards Buttermere way:

Headed up towards Great Dunn Fell, a real must if you are ever in the area, highest paved road in the UK, this is Paul reaching the summit:

The climb started at 75 miles in to the ride, me at the top:

From there it is a swift drop down and then headed out to climb Kirstone Pass and through to Great Langdale, where the views just got better:

A nasty climb out of Great Langdale and then it's only Rhino's and Hardknott left to do, this Paul reaching the top of the Great Langdale climb, about 145 miles in:

Hope everyone else had a good day out.
