| The Lakeland Loop Route Companion Pack |
 The
Lakeland Loop is the most challenging, long-distance off-road
ride in England. It’s also the most spectacular. So if you’re
looking for the ride of a lifetime, one that’s crammed with
just about everything that’s great about off-roading, take up
the challenge.
150 miles of knee-jerk downhills where treads spit grit and
hot blocks cream rims grey; white-water fords split in arcs
of silver spray; sensuous singletrack - eyes down, bike skipping;
shredding the edge of awesome, yawning gaps backed by some prime-time
scenic displays of splendid proportions. This route’s about
riding in the wilds. 
It’s not tied to an attempt to encompass every lake, or mountain
or dale. In consequence we encounter the most scenic, the most
radical and the most satisfying off-roading that The Lakes have
to offer.
Take about a week to do this loop - which kicks off from Bowness
- and you’ll give yourself time to enjoy the sumptuous scenery
as well as the riding. Definitely worthwhile. There’s also a
wide choice of accommodation from hostels and budget farmhouse
B&Bs to luxury hotels - the choice is yours.
