*Travel to and from Scotland is expected to resume from 26th April. The 2021 LEJOG tour is sheduled to depart in late August.
Coast to Coast (from £425)
Another of the UK's signature rides, and possibly the most popular long distance route in the country, the 'c2c' is a must-do for keen cyclists. On this self-guided weekender of intermediate difficulty, you'll explore some of the most stunning UK countryside. From the Georgian port of Whitehaven on the Irish Sea to the castle on the rock at Tynemouth facing the North Sea, you'll cross some of the most dramatic landscapes in the UK: the silvery, shining levels and the high crags of the Lake District, the vast, eerily empty moorland on the Cumbrian Fells, and the Tyne Valley, it's all there!

Yorkshire Dales Weekender (from £225)

On this self-guided weekend tour you'll face some of the famous climbs that the pros tackled, including the Col du Buttertubs and Grinton Moor.
Now is your chance to visit Yorkshire and ride some of these world class cycling routes. You will also be based for the weekend in the beautiful spa town of Harrogate, and when not on the bike will be located perfectly to enjoy the amazing cycle cafes, craft beer brewery's and top rated restaurants.
