The band certainly enjoyed it:
"We genuinely can’t find the words to describe how batsh*t insane last night was.
Even this video doesn’t give the chaos the justice it deserves.
South Lakes Bike Fest!
You smashed it out the park (again!)
See you next year.
FS. Xx"

Cheers Rich

Well after a warm one last year we survived a wet one this year thanks to everyone that came and all the traders 🙂 I think everyone enjoyed only one grumble the only shower on site was cold and in full view  🙂 bring your swim gear next year if it happens!

Saturday's ride went well - started with 25 and kept 20 for nearly the whole thing. Weather curtailed the high stuff and we headed over to Troutbeck Ambleside and Loughrigg. Stopped for lunch (beer) in the Badger Bar and headed over Jenkins and Garburn to finish. 52km and 1450m helped us earn our pizza and beers.

It was a mixed bunch of riders and some of the rocky rooty tech was quite spicy before it was freshly greased with rain.

No photos as it was wet I was trying to heard sheep and count!

The band rocked. The pizzas were hot and tasty. Great ales and my favourite cakes.

The Saturday ride, pogo-ing in the mosh pit and pushing stricken cars out left me bereft of thigh power for Sunday's rather limp assault on Nan Bield. I guess I wasn't the only one, as there was only three of us!
