You are just across the A69 from me and Hartside is a regular ride out for us so maybe we can meet up next summer
Got a couple of bikes given the ACF50 treatment by Les from Allweatherbiker this weekend - did a great job of cleaning and spraying for winter protection at £65 a bike - not a bad price at all given the attention to detail he provides ...
Hope the water levels reduce so you can get out n about soon
cheers
Hi Smurfbud. Definitely want to get connected to any Foccers up this way for rides and meets, weather permitting! Mine is currently kept taxed etc just in case we get the odd day here and there through winter worth taking advantage of, but failing that, will be out exploring come spring. The Hartside will definitely be on my list come better weather next year.
I've done as good a job on the ACF application as I can at home, getting into most little nooks and crannies, so that'll do for this winter I reckon.
Water levels are slowly dropping, and as I found out with last Sunday's ride, I can get around a bit, although I think some routes will be closed for quite some time due to bridge damage. But now it looks like we might be in for a bit of a freeze - didn't go out today because I thought the frost wouldn't clear in the hills - was very slow to clear at lower levels today, and with recent rain, didn't want to risk it being icy.
