We kick off the day immediately with a baptism of bends! We’ll conquer the famous trifecta of passes: Whinlatter, Newlands, and Honister Pass. Each corner opens to a new, dramatic Lake District vista, providing a thrilling start to the tour. Ride along the scenic eastern shore of Derwent Water. Skirt the western edge of Ullswater before hitting the formidable Kirkstone Pass. Experience The Struggle—a route that truly challenges your riding skills while rewarding you with breathtaking views from the summit.
Speed Legends and Lakeside Thrills:
Leaving Ambleside, our route shifts focus to the shimmering waters of Coniston Water, famous for Malcolm Campbell’s Bluebird water speed record attempts. Feel the same thrill of speed and precision as you ride alongside the waters that witnessed his daring runs. We’ll arrive in Coniston Village for a well-earned lunch break at the themed Bluebird Cafe, surrounded by fascinating memorabilia celebrating Campbell’s historic achievements.
The Ultimate Challenge:
The afternoon is dedicated to the ultimate test of man and machine: the legendary twins, Wrynose Pass and Hardknott Pass. Tackle the steepest and most exhilarating climbs in the region, including the infamous hairpin bends of Hardknott. After the passes, we’ll sweep down onto the roads of Corney Fell, enjoying the coastal views. Take a breather and soak in the history at Muncaster Castle before the final leg. Enjoy the final northern ride back to Cockermouth via the panoramic, undulating roads of Cold Fell, offering a sense of open space and rewarding views of the coast and fells as you complete a truly legendary day.
