ROUTE
ITINERARY
Day 1 - Lake District National Park (180 miles)
We start the night before and have Dinner together to get to know each other, provide a briefing, and answer any of your questions.
Day 1 in earnest starts with riding through the Lake District, taking in all the great passes, including the iconic, if not infamous Hardknott Pass.
Day 2 - Yorkshire Dales National Park (200 miles)
The scenery changes dramatically, gone are a lot of the single-track roads winding their way up, down, and between Englands' highest mountains.
Today it's rolling hills as we ride through the Yorkshire Dales, stopping along the way at landmarks such as the Ribblehead Viaduct and riding the lovely Buttertubs Pass.
Day 3 - North York National Park (140 miles)
We finish the tour with another change of scenery, some would say, bleak and barren North York Moors, although we prefer to think of them as an almost car less playground with great roads that wind their way of beautiful Heather moorland.
We finish our ride in the beautiful town of Whitby on the East Coast around mid to late afternoon.
