Cycle through some of the most stunning scenery in the UK over three days of steady riding, through the Lake District, North York Moors and North Pennines.

Coast to coast: 3 – 5 September 2020
3 days, 3 nights (3 days cycling)

There are few parts of the UK more spectacular than the majestic Lake District and the beautiful North York Moors. Our Coast to Coast ride crosses both of these national parks, as well as the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

So we can guarantee the scenery will be a feast for the eyes, and some of the hills will give your legs a good workout too!

This is a steady-paced ride over three days, between Whitehaven on the west coast of England, finishing at Whitby on the east coast, covering a total distance of 175 miles.

What’s included

• 3 nights bed and breakfast accommodation (accommodation the night prior to the ride is provided in Whitehaven)
• Pub lunch, snacks and water during the day
• Vehicle support, support cyclist and route guidance
• Luggage transfer
• GPX files of the full route
• Return transfer from the finish in Whitby back to Whitehaven

 
Evening meals and alcoholic drinks are not included in the price.

Price

£350 per person based on sharing a twin room, £450 for single occupancy.

This is a fully supported ride with both a support cyclist and support vehicle. The pace will be steady, stopping for a pub lunch, with the focus on enjoying the scenery, taking the time to enjoy the views and take photos. We aim to get on the road around 9am in the morning, but then spend most of the day on the ride. Our support vehicle will be leapfrogging the riders and at all times our driver will only be a phone call away.

Itinerary & Route

The route is all on roads or cycle paths and predominantly follows the Sustrans cycle network. The majority of roads are relatively quiet. The overall course totals approximately 175 miles with about 3,000m of climbing.

We break the route down roughly as follows – the exact route may vary slightly:

• Sept 2: Meet in Whitehaven; pre-ride briefing, meet the rest of the group and go for dinner (not included)
• Sept 3: Cycle from Whitehaven to Shap, stopping for a pub lunch en route
• Sept 4: Cycle from Shap to Trenholm Bar, again with the obligatory lunch and photo stops
• Sept 5: Shorter final day from Trenholm Bar to Whitby follow by return transfer to Whitehaven

 
We plan to arrange for people to leave their cars in Whitehaven, and we will return you there at the end.
