Over the hills And Beyond

The South lakes again today awoke to another warm sunny summers Sunday morning , which was sure to make for a perfect club run.

The new summer time start of 8am meeting at Kendal Leisure Centre didn't deter the team of KVRC riders and guests from seizing the moment.
Kent Valley's team rolled out over the sleepy Sunday back roads out of Kendal toward Staveley and Ings then making for Troutbeck and the foot of the classic Lakeland climb of  Kirkstone.

 The Kirkstone pass was calling out for the team with its long and twisting road with a few short steeper sections to test the legs.
With the climb done and dusted the delightful well earn't descent down to the glittering waters of Ullswater and onto Pooley Bridge and its Newly rebuilt bridge, after it was destroyed by Storm Desmond last December.

A short spin away and a well earn't stop at one of KVRC's favorite north Lakes Cafe stop the Mill Yard  for a mid ride coffee and carb boost.
Refueled and buzzing with caffeine the team headed back to Kendal over Orton Scar, Tebay and back to Kendal, with a moderate headwind to finally finish off any tired legs.
