KDCS – The Kendal & District Cycle Scene

CycleFest ’09 was a great success, with hundreds of people turning up to Abbot Hall Park in the sunshine on Saturday and lots of people taking part in the rides and other events during the following week. Thanks to everyone who supported it and welcome to those people who’ve joined KDCS, or at least been on an Easy Tuesday ride or two with us, as a result!

The KDCS meet on Sunday 5 April turned out to be a good opportunity to try out the newly resurfaced old towpath cycle route through Kendal. The old canal path, from Canal Head through to the outskirts of Kendal, has long been used by cyclists but only those prepared for a rough and muddy ride. As 18 riders set off for happy day of cycling and pub stops around the Lyth and Winster valleys, we took a few photos, starting with one showing our appreciation of the shiny new tarmac.

We’ve just updated our rides list which now runs until the end of the year and you can read or download it on our Rides page – free group rides from 25 to 100 miles in length, mainly starting from Kendal but also from places as far afield as Broughton and Ingleton – and our Easy Tuesdays rides list (shorter group rides on Tuesday evenings in summer). We’re also currently organising our Scottish camping/cycling weekend in Dumfries & Galloway in mid-July. For more information email us via the contact us page.
