What did you do with whatever else you've got?

[nick crisp]

Lake District run today. Weather was mostly dry, though not very bright, so the pics aren't great. Zapped to the Filling Station cafe, where I got chatting to a chap with a silver gen 1; he's just got an R6 shock off Luke, but not a member on here. He sold the bike, rode around on others for 5 years, then found the exact same bike for sale, so jumped in and bought it back!


Then the long way round to Ambleside via Ullswater and the Kirkstone Pass (I'll be glad when the A591 is open again, and can just zip straight down that way). Looking back towards the Kirkstone from the gnarly little lane that plunges steeply down and into Ambleside:






Then went down to Coniston Water, but still the sun didn't want to play, despite this, the only patch of blue sky I saw today:





So then I headed along Little Langdale, and crossed into Great Langdale. Bow Fell in the background:





And the Langdale Pikes:





By the time I got back to Keswick, it had started to rain, but not enough to spoil the ride, and it's nice to get back at nearly 8pm and still be able to put the bike away in daylight.
