Midwinter ride out: Castlerigg Stone Circle - Lake District National Park

Midwinter ride. Last week’s frost is replaced by classy rainbows with a gale-force wind driving the Cumbrian mist at you like an automatic car wash. I couldn’t find a Christmas tree (pagan Saturnalia symbol) to pose near so making do with a Neolithic stone circle. But a satisfying workout wrangling my CRF-300 over the remaining packed ice and muddy washout, stuff this bike rides well. TG-6 waterproof camera.
