Back of Skiddaw - Classic Lake District Mounting Bike Ride - MTB Lakes

A lakes classic and brilliant post work ride. This loop takes you around the back of Skiddaw over narrow, rocky singletrack with some cracking views. We rode up to Skiddaw house and back down just to extend the ride a bit otherwise it's quite short.

Used to do this route years ago, loved it. Thanks for posting it up, cheeky question though, do you never use your front brake? 😁

[@MTBLakes]

Cheers mate.. i should use it more.. might stop me falling off..😂

@@MTBLakes 😆 100% i use the front way more than the back cos your weight goes forward 😁
