UK Weekends - Lake District
T
he Lakes provide riding unsurpassed in the UK with a stunning blend of imposing mountains and crystal clear waters. Our local guides have carefully put together three weekends to show off the areas best biking, with a trip on offer for every ability. Why not hop on the train and take advantage of Skedaddles free station pick up service? With Penrith now only a few of hours away from London it has never been easier to visit the Lakes.
Euphoric Ulswater
Riding from our accommodation in Penrith, we take in the beauty of the Northern Lakes, passing castles and travelling through open fells. With stunning mountain views, we sample a wide variety of off-road riding, at a manageable level. Youll ride rocky river beds, steep descents, rewarding ascents, exciting stream crossings and singletrack traverses, all within the capabilities of those quite new to off-road riding or for those just wanting a great weekend!

Skiddaw Skedaddle
A Skedaddle classic not to be missed! Cycling straight out of the door in Keswick we contour around the longest, steepest single stretch bridleway in the UK. Our journey has us winding along ancient mining tracks, leading to the classic cheeky climb of Whitewater Dash. There are stunning views of the Northern Lakes throughout and a route to savour in the Borrowdale Valley, brimming with technical challenges, yet not too daunting for those with limited off road experience.

Awesome Ambleside
Now in its third year this trip is already becoming a Skedaddle legend - just ask those who have been already! Taking in some of the most challenging and illusive tracks the Lake District has to offer, from a cracking ascent of Garburn Pass followed by miles of cross country riding with heart racing descents and breathtaking views. Our second day takes us into the wilderness under the shadow of the Old Man of Coniston before skedaddlin back to Ambleside.
