    I love the lakes. A nice mix of slow technical rides through some of the passes (Hardknot and Wrynose) and country roads with beautiful views.

    A great day out with nice cafes to stop at.

    im sure when we post it up steve will be a busy rideout there maybe too much to take in cant see sue doing the hard knott or some of the 125ers doing the wynott !

    so compromises will have to be made . im happy to sort it but it will be just my route so if anybody wants to divert deeper into the district thats fine

    With you there Dave. You have to know your company before you lead a group over them passes. I have ridden back from there with my companion for the day on the pillion seat sing " Two little boys ....... I can go just as fast with two!". He had to go back in his van to get his.
