What an epic day. Shredding the trails of Kentmere with these 3 nutters! Nick, Francis and Simon have come up for a full on INTO THE OUTSIDE adventure weekend and we certainly started off with a banger; Mountain biking in the dirt and mud in the sunny Lake District.
We didn't hold back. Starting from Stavely and making fast progress to the Kentmere 'Get ur rocks off' descent trail. The guys, keen road bikers from London, made Dan work on the road sections. The first time he's been beaten up hill! Time for an E-bike Dan!!?
He finally put the lads through their paces, crossing swollen rivers, deep ditches and mud galore! Testing their technical know how and feeding them some helpful zen-like teachings.
There were some big smiles on the descent to the valley bottom before we headed to the other side of Kentmere, crossed the moor and shredded the epic HP wood descent. Steep, full of technical challenges and fast. The lads were brave and conquered the big steps and rocky terrain.
We finished with the classic 3 rivers route, which was made very interesting with high water crossings. Nick had an up-close-and-personal interaction with the trail. Face planting over the handle bars! Nice.
We put the 'new trail' to test and notched a solid 40Kph on the downhill. Watch out anyone coming up that thing!
The day was finished with pints of Hawkshead Red and chips in the brewery, our savage faces coved in mud!
Until tomorrow when we hit the Ghyll...
