Looking to ride from Glenridding to do this loop:

and considering linking in to this once I get to High Street:

Can you ride from High Street to join the loop near non bield pass?
Are the two loops doable in a day. I have all day and reasonably fit.

Yes you can join High Street via Mardale Bell. Drops you at the NB shelter from the West side. Can they be done in a day, I guess that depends on the individual etc..

Thanks Carlos - I'll see how the day goes, never ridden in the Lakes before so shall just see how the pace goes and decide what I try to attempt, could be a great day out!
ambitious for your first Lakes ride IMHO
If it doesn't rain between now and when you do it High Street should be as good as it could ever be, which in my opinion is a bit dull. Boredale Nan Bield Mardale Helvellyn Ullswater shore etc are all more interesting rides
OP- As postierich has said that’s ambitious fior a 1st Lakes ride.. even an all dayer.
Good luck and let us know how you got on

Ive always found High st a little boring to be fair , and Nan Bield is ok but as others have stated there are better out there. The Kentmere loop you linked is ok but the slog up from Sangill over Harter to Nan Bield makes it very meh for the little you gain back down Nan ..
I'm not sure linking the two together offers you much more, and that is a long, very tough day with plenty of carrying and pushing.
If you don't mind that, you might want to look at something like four passes starting in Langdale, which offers a lot more high quality descending for all that effort.
If you have to start in Glenridding, how about looking towards Helvellyn instead?
