Ambleside sports

 Up at 5am....out soon after 6....coffee and egg roll in Thornhill after an hour...then a further two hours to Ambleside...
We,the cyclists do the usual job of filling in the gaps between fell running, wrestling, athletics, hound trail running...
 The fell run.   And the big sprint....won by a woman!
 sheltering from the sun,with one of my daughter's competitors and teammates from twenty years ago..she is on a comeback after a ten year break.
We had good racing, Womens' events for a change with nine riders....and I wasn't last!
 and here is Femke with the Pirate. She borrowed wheels,but is back riding the first frame built for her.
She lives in Cumbria and the spring at their farmhouse has dried up for the first time in memory.  We drove home past Thirlmere and it was a shock to see how low the water level was.

    That looks a real neat frame on the track bike in the last image - bit too radical for me, these days though!

    Sound like a great time was had by all in the Lakes.
