I'm going to Reeth, North Yorkshire on Saturday for my birthday bike ride. You are welcome to join me. But I am not camping.

Edit: weather doesn't look nice Saturday night either

And camp at The New Delight.
Beers in there or wander down to The Beer Festival in the Town Hall

Ride Coed y Brenin

It's the Coed Y Brening Enduro this weekend - some trails probably closed, and it will be heaving.

Thetford. It will contrast nicely with your normal riding. 😉

Edit. I'm just jealous of your choice. I'd pick one with a shortish drive or that's weatherproof because I think the weather is supposed to be bobbins on Sunday for some of the UK.

Rode Hebden on Wednesday night. The trails are holding up well enough and not suffering too much from the rain BUT... The foliage is still a bit dense and the Summer's carpet of green slime is still coating much of the rocky stuff. Needs a month or so and a good scouring before it's back to form.

Saturday will be Lakes for me. Maybe some exploratory stuff around Bowfell if the visibility is Good, otherwise probably a standard loop like Rossett, Grains Gill, Stake Pass.

Hard to beat bike park Wales for me personally.

Although I've never been riding in north Wales or the peaks or the lakes or anywhere north of Flyup 417 in Cheltenham pretty much (unless you count a quick ride in Sheffield at lady Cannings plantation).
