Lakes MTB - Bowfell 'That Was Bonkers'

A pretty ambitious plan for a warm day on the fells. We hit the Langdale Valley with the intention to do a double loop. I've done all of it before but not connected it together so the stats said it was doable albeit in 11 hours 🥵

It was quite warm and we did quite a lot of chatting to many friendly walkers and had a bit of time out ourselves which slowed the ride down, however, I keep referring back to a couple of big rides I've done in the lakes previously and been pretty close to either passing out or giving up which is not a pleasant situation when the only way is up to get you back to the car

So after the first loop which took almost 7 hours, we knocked it on the head and went for a 🍻, and why not which was well deserved. You have to be of a particular mindset to enjoy a day like this but for us, it was thoroughly enjoyable and the descents with top notch tech were well worth the effort to get us to the trailhead

Couple of days later and I'm still buzzing from that ride which is what it's all about 🤙
