One of Sri Chinmoy Cycling teams first training camps was a success with me and Dave.

Saturday I cycled both ways over Kirkstone Pass. It is one of the better ascents and descents being not ridiculously steep like hardknot pass . The problem is getting slowed down by cars on the way down. I cycled about 70 miles also visiting Haweswater.

Sunday I was joined by Dave we took in the lakes of Windemere and Conistone. Weather was good and I took some pictures.

On Sunday afternoon we went to a concert in a cave given by our friends who were also staying in the Lake District. The group is called Ananda and was seen by about 40 people. After concert I called Andy Sherwood who had just completed 415 miles in the national 24 hour championships v. impressive.
NIk Gardener the winner completed 505 miles....

What do you mean cars slow you down - the speed limit applies to you as well!

Watch out for the Statten Island Cyclops - I mean keep an eye out for him.
