Godders and I travelled from Penrith to Kendal and back again. It's very bloody hilly.
^ Had it before - just a solid block of mint-flavoured sugar if I remember right.
Went mental for flapjacks during this trip. 500-odd calories per square.
How many miles up and back Slap?

^What your dementia?
Imagine Patsy, if you will, a mancorset. Harking back to the era of Uncle Toby Jug and his good wife. Except of course, for the absence of the bustle. There you have it!
25 quid a day - an absolute rip-off for what they were. Take your own if you can. Preferably a carbon-fibre road bike with a premium Mavic wheelset and full Shimano Ultegra groupset. Just take something light, OK. The roads up there are a bitch.Originally Posted by hallelujah

Just out of interest, you didnt mention how many sleeping bags you bought. is it a case of; take off your pants Godfrey and make some more room?

For the purposes of this story, it's that old fucking reprobate, Godders.Originally Posted by Dillinger
Aye, a Ribble with a decent groupset would do the job. I'm currently rocking a Pinnacle Arkose Three 2015 with shimano 105, and a Boardman carbon-bibre SLS with Ultegra.Originally Posted by biff
The Fens may be a safer option. She won't be thanking you for 20 per cent gradients around every other corner.Originally Posted by hallelujah
