The Event | |
More than 60 people attended the rally, which was based at Arnside, Cumbria in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The Youth Hostel staff were very friendly and provided excellent meals. Each day a long and short ride was offered. The weather throughout the weekend was very cold and for the first two days was also very windy. Rain was forecast for each day but in the event, very little rain fell whilst people were cycling. There was plenty of sunshine between the cloudy spells. | Arnside Youth Hostel |
