Do you fancy exploring the Lake District by bike?

At On Yer Bike Cycling, we want you to relax and enjoy everything that Rydal Hall, the local area, and the Lake District have to offer. Our Lake District tours are self-guided tours and include 5-nights bed and breakfast accommodation at the wonderful Rydal Hall.

The tour includes 4 cycling days, where we provide you with carefully designed routes – graded to show the difficulty level, with a different one for each cycling day of the trip, allowing you to experience the best cycling the area has to offer. We also send you some additional routes, giving you the flexibility to swap routes in or out of the itinerary to suit your needs.

All routes come with a detailed route summary and GPX file (for loading onto your bike computer, if you have one), and are provided to you, via email, a minimum of two weeks in advance of the trip. The individual route summaries include information on cycling distance, how much climbing is involved, navigational info, ideal places to stop for lunch or a café stop and additional details on some of the local sightseeing spots you may wish to visit.

Cycling highlights in the Lake District include the beauty of riding on quiet country roads in and around the Lakes with rolling terrain and stunning scenery all around. As it’s the Lake District, there are plenty of hills around and this tour provides the opportunity to challenge yourself on some of the iconic climbs in the area such as The Struggle, Kirkstone Pass, Blea Tarn and Wrynose Pass.
