Great ride with good company. superb to see myself dying on most of the ride as iI normally only see my version of my rides. There were some very testing climbs and descents on this ride and the awful drizzle and headwind made it extra hard work on the section to Mosedale bothy
“Easy” is relative. E bikes are an incredible way for more people to explore the outdoors and visit places they might not be able to otherwise. Surly “Analogue” elitists should be shouting their praise as it gets more people in to MTB.
A lot of mountain bikers love that kind of thing. I hate rock gardens with a passion but it's hard to get away from them if you are riding in the UK. Almost every route includes at least one really rough rock section.
