Whinlatter Pass

We will ride from Cockermouth, over Whinlatter and on to Portinscale. We will return the same way tackling the pass for a second time. The scenery and the downhills are great and well worth the climbing effort. The ride is not suitable for beginners. It is suitable for intermediate/more experienced cyclists. This is due to it being two ascents of the pass, and a need to keep a reasonable pace to get back into Cockermouth at a reasonable time in the evening. It will be a social fun challenge in a supportive group of women who enjoy cycling, and no-one will be left behind, and we will all no doubt be puffing and panting at vaious points on the ride! Please wear clothing appropriate to the weather, and bring a waterproof jacket. It will be chilly on descents so you are likely to need to put on an extra layer for the descents. Please bring some water and snacks to keep you going. Look forward to seeing you, Mim and Wendy
