Join us for an epic day out in the Lake District, taking on a classic Mountain Bike tour where you’ll ride some of the most iconic and technical descents the Lakes has to offer. The distance looks short on paper, but with tough hike a bike climbs, and physical rocky descents, it’ll feel considerably harder than it looks like it should.
We’re running this day as a pre-requisite for anyone wishing to join our Italian Lake to Lake trip who hasn’t yet ridden with us. It’ll give you a good idea of the level of technicality and the physical difficulty you can expect on this trip, and let us know whether you have the fitness and riding ability to enjoy it. (The Lake to Lake is normally only open to those who have ridden with us in the Alps before)
The day is also open to anyone looking for an advanced group guided ride in the Lake District, whether you plan on joining us on future trips in the UK, Alps or not!
You should be an experienced and technically competent rider, used to riding a wide variety of steep natural trails on all kinds of terrain. You should have an excellent level of fitness and be capable of spending big days out (6-8 hours, 1000m+ climbing) in the mountains. There are multiple points on this trip where you will need to carry your bike.
