“We did not know what to expect as we booked via email from the States. John met us at Oxenholme Station and took us to his home which was to be our base for 4 nights. The bikes were superb road bikes which John fitted to our size, one a titanium men’s bike and the other a ladies carbon bike. Wow, after riding mountain bikes on the road these bikes are really fast and comfy on the road.
We had 3 days touring with John in the South Lake District before setting out for 3 days in the Yorkshire Dales, self guided from supplied instructions and maps. It rained, the sun shone, we went up hills and down Dales, what terrific scenery everywhere.
The itinerary John had planned was perfect – not too hard and not too easy for a couple of relatively unfit Americans. We had dinner on farms and ate their home grown lamb, we ate out in the local pubs, and our bags were transported from place to place. Finally John came to collect us and our bags and we had a final ride and a calm sunny afternoon, around Coniston Water. What a perfect way to end a splendid weeks cycling in the Lakes.”

Centre Based Guided Holiday
Let our guides show you around this stunning part of the Lake District.
We will tailor make a cycling holiday to suit your own requirements. We’ll arrange local accommodation in a friendly B&B or country Inn and each day one of our guides will take you on a guided tour exploring this breathtakingly beautiful area – a different ride every day. Just let us know how many days you want your holiday to last, maybe a weekend break or a full seven days, whether you want a non-cycling day or perhaps some half days and we will get back in touch with you to fully discuss your plans. We offer road cycling or mountain biking tours or a mixture of both! Don’t forget we also have a superb range of Road and Mountain E-Bikes to hire or you can bring your own bikes.
