Last October the news said to expect a hot weekend, so we packed up and headed to the Lake District, with the plan to ride something BIG.
I wont bore you with the details, but here are some cool pictures from Englands third highest peak.
 |
| The only way is up! |
 |
| Steep climbing |
 |
| Top of the ridge, clear path now following round to the summit |
 |
| Fast and rocky |
 |
| More than just sharp rocks to worry about hitting on the way down! |
 |
| Missed the walkers, but didnt avoid the rocks! Two snake bites at the same time. |
 |
| 950metres worth the climb |
 |
| The Orange Alpine 160 felt at home! |

| The end of the descent |
Epic day out, with perfect weather conditions. Sadly we didnt take any photos of the descent, as we didnt stop and break off from it! But I am sure you can imagine how much fun it was! We came down the infamous Dollywagon Pike and past Grizedale Tarn.
So after 4 hours climbing to the summit, it took around 35 minutes to get back to Glenridding car park. Swiftly followed by fish and chips and a night out in Keswick!
A great ride I highly recommend as long as your not scared of hights. One I will certainly be riding again.
Thanks for reading.
