So 5 x c20 mile rides last week in amazing weather rated for difficulty (1 no pushing, 5 lots of pushing)...
Keswick > Dalebottom > Old Coach Road > Troutbeck > Brundholme Woods > Keswick (3)
Keswick > Castlerigg for sunrise > Thelkeld > Blencathra Centre > Skiddaw House > Whitewater Dash > Bassenthwaite > Keswick (2)
Keswick > Thornthwaite > Lord's Seat > Loop towards Lorton > Braithwaite > Coledale/Force Crag Mine > Keswick (1)
Keswick > Honister > Dubs Hut > Honister > Grange > Portinscale > Keswick (4)
Keswick > Latrigg > Lonscale Crags > Skiddaw House > Mosedale > Castlerigg > Keswick (5)
All involved a fair bit of pushing my gravel bike with 40mm tyres except Lord's Seat. Need a MTB next time. All stunning routes.
