It's Keswick area you want to head to, can do the bash depending on time of day. Better later on as there will be a lack of walkers. Or just try whinlatter, with an addition or 2.

Reaching out to some of you guys who are far more knowledgable then me. It is possible to spend circa £200 and get a decent starter road bike? Not sure I'll take to it so thinking spend a little and have a crack this summer, see what I think first.....

Head angle looks way too straight even compared to my xc fuel tbh. No offence but you test riding something means as much to me as the paperboy riding it.
