Hi All I will be putting on a road ride on Saturday 14th of April. The plan will be to leave from my house at 10:30 heading out on the back lanes to the highest road climb in the UK at 625metres Great Dun Fell after tackling this monster climb we will head out to the Stag inn at Duffton for lunch the back to Penrith for some home cooked fodder via Appleby.

Route will be about 55 miles with a bit of climbing involved.

Well who's up for it.

'A bit of climbing'?! :LOL:

You know I'm keen - not so much on the cycling part, but I love all the other stuff... ;)

I need to get some miles in asap else this is going to be embarrassing!

It is a challenge but I believe anyone can do it at their own pace ( James Gullen JLT Condor about 25mins Me and my mate Bill 55mins).

Along with (Easy_Rider) Gav's North Wales route, Clive's last RetroRide was easily the highlight of last year's riding for me.

So you definitely should!

Do it.

If you don't, you'll need to join me for a day at touring pace some where in the South West. :p

The choice is yours.

That's that settled then.

I'll see about booking time off work tomorrow

Re: Great Dun fell road ride April 14th

Right I am having to change the route on this as the cafe at the top of Hartside burned down during the beast of the east still and there is no suitable stop around Dun fell for lunch So it will be going out around Lazonby Armathwaite Caldbeck Greystoke going to be around the 50 mile mark with a couple of cafe stops on the way.
