Sunday 26th July – Ullswater & North Pennines led by Tony Bell
Meet & fill (to the brim if your tank is capacity-challenged) at the petrol station in Pool-in-Wharfedale, to the NW of Leeds on the A658 Bradford-Harrogate Road, at 09.15hrs for an 09.30hrs prompt start.
On this challenging 260 mile rideout there’ll be a wide variety of biking roads ranging from the annoying bottleneck through Windermere to the 4-mile climb from Melmerby to Hartside Café; regarded by many as England’s best, a technically difficult sinuous ribbon of top quality, grippy Tarmac with more bends than you can shake a stick at: However, its not all beer and skittles, some of the bends are of the tightening variety so take extra care if you’ve not done it before.
From Pool we’ll skirt north of Skipton and Settle to Ribblehead and a coffee stop at the Wensleydale Creamery in Hawes. We then head west through Sedburgh and Kendal to Windermere, over the Kirkstone Pass, alongside Ullswater and up to the highest café in England, at Hartside Height in the northern Pennines, for lunch. Next, its down the bleak but picturesque Upper Teesdale valley and across to Brough and Kirkby Stephen before travelling the length of the beautiful Upper Eden Valley. Finally we descend Wensleydale to Ripon and head back to Pool. I’ll be on a blue and white 58 reg Suzuki GSX-R1000; for any queries or a chat please ring me on 0113 2256627.” – Tony
