Not been out on the bike for 3 weeks due to other commitments and going skiing. Weather looked good so planned for a long one.
I fancied seeing what Waddington Fell looked like without the torrential rain so headed that way and veered off east on the descent towards Yorkshire. I actually cycled into N Yorks (about 20 yards see phot proof of my bike at the boundary) but then turned around and got a welcome cuppa at the Gisburn Forest MTB cafe.
Headed back through Slaidburn (lots of bikers - pedal powered and motorbikes, Dunsop Bridge - which lays claim, along with a couple of other places - to be the geographical centre of the UK. Apparently it depends how you meansure it!
By now on more familiar territory, past a busy Inn at Whitewell and on to Chipping. Stopped for lunch at the Cobbled Corner - bacon & egg barm was tops - the owner now recognises me I guess its becoming a regular refuelling spot!
Ride distance 60 miles (2500 feet of ascent), Cumulative 400 miles
Remaining against 500 mile target: 100 miles
