Spin your legs gently along country lanes or challenge them as you climb up towards some Lakeland fells and admire the vista across the lake to Skiddaw and Blencathra.  Treat yourself to delicious cake pit-stops in charming local cafés and let the lovely Lakeland landscapes inspire your daily cycling.

Over the course of three rides, you will explore quiet country lanes, fells and pretty lakeside roads.  You'll be treated to a few climbs throughout the week so you may want to consider booking on to one of the E-bike departures if you're looking to enjoy the journey with a group of like-minded e-bikers, with a little boost up those cheeky hills! Please see our dates section to see which departures are exclusively for e-bikes.

The area is also rich in heritage, from the ancient stone circle at Castlerigg, built around 3000BC, to signs of the more recent small-scale mining industry.  Come and join other like-minded bikers for this wonderful tour of the Lake District, all set in a friendly and social environment and led by at least two experienced guides.
