We finally got a spare day, well 1/2 day to have a family ride out. The last one was way back in the summer hols! we did not get a ride out in the Oct school hol week as it rained everyday in the Lakes then i went into hospital for my surgery. Every weekend we have been busy doing something or going somewhere so it was time for a well overdue family ride out. The forecast was looking good with a hard overnight frost then followed by some lovely winter sun. When riding up the old line to Lanchester Angus had minus -6.1 degress on his garmin! thought my legs were burning with the cold. It was a straight run upto Knitsley farm shop / cafe for a feed/water then a steady blast back home. We had a good range of tyre sizes out today to test on the frozen / icy trails from 5" bud, 4" dillinger, 3" chronicle, 2.75" dirt wizard down to 1.95" old michys. Not many other cyclists out and we were were the only bikers in the cafe, quite a few dog walkers and a runner. Below are a few photos from the ride - enjoy and wrap up warm
