Blue Graded 4-6

Blue graded trips are suitable for people with a good level of bike fitness, who regularly enjoy cycling and may have joined a multi-day cycle holiday before.

Distances each day will be between 35 and 45 miles, cycling at around 12/13mph. Each day will encompass rolling and hilly terrain, with notable climbs most days. Some of these climbs will be more testing, and some riders may opt to ride in the support vehicle. Some climbs are also followed by exciting descents. We will be in the saddle for 5 to 7 hours each day plus the odd longer day. There is also time each day for breaks and lunches, plus some visits to sites of interest.

You will be met by your Wilderness England Guide at Penrith Railway Station at 10:00 am on Day 1 of your trip. The trip will conclude at York Railway Station at 4:30 pm on the final day of the trip.

Bike Hire/Rental

Road bike hire/rental is included in this itinerary, and E-bikes are supported on this trip. If you prefer an E-bike, they are available for a supplement.
