The South Lakes Group of the UK Rough Stuff Fellowship (sorta touring come MTB) posts regular photo sets of their rides here. They are always marvellously attractive views of the lakes and moors of Yorkshire. Amazing to see such delectable culinary attractions mixed in with the off-road riding

Nice shots. That is the area where the famous 3 peaks cyclo cross race goes through. Re the cakes depicted that is a part of very long standing British tradition of the cafe run.

Well, I can relate to that. Our club, Melbourne Bicycle Touring Club (MBTC) has a standing joke that the initials actually stand for 'More Bakeries Than Cycling'Uncle Just wrote:Re the cakes depicted that is a part of very long standing British tradition of the cafe run.
