My first cycling expedition.

| Through Zig- Zag Terrain |
Place : Ullswater , Lake district , UK
Distance : 22km ( does this sound easy ??)
Terrain : Mountain ( Ahh this is the catch!! )
Level : Medium challenge
I am not good at travel posts(errr i am also not sure what posts i am good at , as it been ages i stumbled upon here)so keeping it to the point.

| Cylcling Route |
Hire bike at Pooley bridge ( other end of the lake)> Follow U path through the hills > Finish at Glenridding ( start point of the lake) > Take streamer at Glenridding back to Pooley bridge and return the bikes.

| Scottish and super expensive hotel on the shores of the Ullswater lake |
Only cycling i did all my life was to and fro to my maths tuition eons back. So this was a challenge . However mountain biking is not for the weak hearts .One needs loads of stamina, gear changing tricks , right clothing and what not. Also this was an unknown route , so using compass and map was required. Though i tricked the actual route for more downhill paths .
Lesson learnt:-
1. Always optimize the timing , we almost missed our last streamer to the port.
2. Wear right clothing i.e padded cycling pants (else everything down under aches!!), helmet, gloves and windcheater is a must
3. You will fall , no matter what , so be prepared for some wounds.
4. Have a sense of direct to use maps and compass. Sign boards might not be handy always :P
PS0: Butt aching .
PS1: Have used "i" instead of referring oneself in third person "author". hmmmm
PS2: Mind doesn't wander anymore, but to create ...wandering is a must , is it?
PS4: Ok , i just read the post. It's as bland as English food , so enjoy the pics :D
