Re: Ribblehead Round Sunday 17th May
If I'd known a week ago I would have joined you. Have a good ride
Not ridden around there, so looking forward to the sunny pictures.

Re:
With the Lakes ride postponed a few hardy fools decided to head for the Dales to reccie Ribblehead for future rides/events,
And what a weekend it was with BBQ's, Beers and Big hills, with a bit of a draft as I heard it referred too (Slight understatement)
My idea was to give the new van a trial run out with an overnight stop and a ride on Sunday, Matthew and Stu were to be my companions for the the weekend.
Matthew was the route planner and he came up with two stunner's a 24 miler and a 16 miler, but it was the weather that was going
to make the final decision on our route.
We met in the Station inn car park at Ribblehead it was also going to be our camp-site for the nite, the BBQ was lit as soon as the
predicted showers past...
Patiently they wait...
Carp Views
Ribblehead Station
Ribblehead Viaduct
Fed and watered it was time for the pub and to find out what the weather had in store for us....
40mph Winds with heavy showers around lunch time, not the most inspiring forecast to go riding in
but we'll see what tomorrow brings.
Sunday Morning and we're having breakfast in the pub and its a bit draughty out side (25-40mph winds) so we
decide to ride the short route as its a bit more sheltered.
After a bit of panicking I finally find my riding shoes and we set off into a fierce head wind, this is a beautiful part of the country
with some fantastic riding so I'll let the pics tell the rest of the story...
Ps Did I mention the steep up-hills an fantastic down-hills
One of many
Follow that man
Under a cloud
Water Falls
Pushing through the pain
Secret church
Natural or Man made
Tunnel Vision
Old Iron
Going up ?
Gimme shelter
After this point it was mostly down hill so no more pics but lots of grins at the bottom and then a short ride back to the pub.
Here's a link to the rest of my pics... http://s1368.photobucket.com/user/kaya_ ... ad%20Round
Thanks for looking and this is a area that we will be visiting again and soon I hope...
cheers kaya
