This ride is not a race! We all work together as a Team
From Water Yeat we cross the River Crake then start possibly the hardest climb up Bretherbarrow Lane heading towards High Ickenthwaite, Thwaite Moss, Force Knott, Breasty Haw, Tarn Intake then to the Grizedale Centre for lunch.
From the Centre we head for the popular area of Grizedale Forest via Broad Piece then one to Jack Gap Wood, Grizedale Moor, Lawson Park, Park Crags, Low Parkamoor, Grass Holme, High Nibthwaite and back to Water Yeat. There are some technical bits in the Parkamoor area but they are not awful. Everything is rideable!

This ride is in the world famous Grizedale Forest (Car Rallies). The views are amazing provided we get the weather

Mainly on Forestry Trails with a some tarmac lanes There are no main roads

We will stop at the Grizedale Centre for the main stop but will stop many times for photos.

Helmets must be worn An Innertube suitable to the bike. (Their not all the same!) If you are travelling in someone else's car, a change of clothes and footwear. Although we're stopping at Grizedale, bring something to eat and drink. No matter what the weather, bring a jacket

We never leave anyone behind
