Great weekend and some pics

My weekend ride up started with me and Mike meeting up with Pete R2M and then travelled up to meet Steve at Clitheroe
Steve led a fantastic route over Trough of Bowland finishing up at Kirkby Lonsdale for a brew then a fast thrash to Kirby Stephen. Despite the weather forecast we had a dry and mostly sunny ride all the way
Great curry and too many beers! Good craic and nice to meet some new faces as well as existing ones
Saturday's mission whatever the weather was going to be all the lakes passes
I've seen manyof these from mountain bike trails and always wanted to do them on a motorbike. Have done a few of them
Me, AfricaJim and Outrunner left about 1hr after the pipe and slippers crew went
Nice slidey start going up the back lane on wet tarmac and cold knobbly tyres
Commuted over A66 to Braithwaite and started with Whinlatter pass
Then down to Buttermere in the heavy rain so no pics of that but we were rewarded with the nice ride up Honister pass
