Big Lakeland Classics

NEW for 2012

The biggest, highest, longest and hardest 2 days of riding that Cyclewise and the Lakes have to offer. Not for the fainthearted, these guided days will give you the opportunity to tick off some of the Lakeland classics while in the company of some of the most experienced MTB guides in the UK. The rides are designed for those who have already completed a minimum of our Cyclewise Core Skills course and are now proficient in all of those techniques PLUS have a great fitness level and a sense of adventure to match.

Both days will start from the YHA at Ambleside, giving us great access to some of the best riding in the Lakes, such as Walna Scar, Garburn Pass, High Street and even Helvellyn to name a few. With a good forecast, good fitness and a good sense of adventure, we aim to bag some of these biggies. These are BIG days with BIG views which will pack in some BIG climbs but also some BIG descents and leave BIG smiles!!
