Bike Rides n' Stuff over t'Lakes Way

Nice little ride out over near Staveley yesterday going up and over the Garburn pass, way more tecchie than I'd expected, nearly came off a fair few times and a fair bit of bike carrying involved also. Had to go really slowly on the last road home as I had taken josh the dog and he ran so far and so fast that his paws were worn down to the quick and bleeding...poor mite. Better toughen him up, poor little dude!

Think a little spin this morning to make the best of this nice weather then back to Mick's shop to put my Trek together and tidy up this little on-one

Ah, so got a bit carried away with the riding part and less so with the bike putting back together part.... Still, I love my hardtail bike so much the full suss can wait another week or two :-) Thanks to Louisa for her second hand forks i can now have both on the road / trail at the same time = woop woop!!!

Guisborough

My First Proper Guisborough Ride Out.

Taken on a tour of the little single track bits n pieces by Chris Tweddle aka "Twed" from ATGNI. Busting day (including plenty of his lung-busting style climbs / hike-a-bike) with some real good laughs and a few impromptu history lessons en route. What a blast, got to keep coming back and find some more of the fun stuff!

PS: Strava, I am not impressed that you put the mens' leaderboard above the womens' and there is no option to chose one or t'other, gotta have both... hmmm, yet another sexist assumption made by a mountain biking related industry? Sort it out guys :-)
