I'm going to be based in West Cumbria for a few months - are there any clubs or groups in the area (Whitehaven/Cockermouth/Workington etc) that go night riding?

(maybe not this week, with the weather eh, though 😉

Keswick Mountain Bikes do regular rides, not a million miles away depending on where you are exactly.

Keswick might not be too far but maybe not while the weather is blasting down

Thanks PK, but I'm hoping I'll be 'home' over Christmas

Though, I'd forgotten about Whinlatter...does anyone know what are the conditions like at the moment?

Me and a few friends do fairly frequent tuesday nights plus the odd weekend day in west cumbria. Dent and area near egremont is our local spot, plus runs out to whinlatter, muncaster/eskdale and keswick. Are you doing sellafield related stuff?
Whinlatter usually holds up quite well, but there has been a [i]lot[/i] of rain! Plus evening traffic is bad at the moment with all the closed bridges.

Yep, it is Sellafield stuff - I might leave it a week or two for the bridges and rain to calm down a bit hopefully and then get in touch about joining you guys on a Tuesday night if that's alright Andy?

Yep, it's just the usuall weekend warrior stuff, nothing hardcore! Our group varies quite a bit depending on the weather and season.
