Overview
Summary
Our unique mountain biking C2C route is an incredible off-road coast to coast biking holiday based on the classic Sustrans C2C cycle route from Whitehaven to Tynemouth. If you're looking for a mountain biking trip that takes in all of the best parts of the original coast to coast cycle route but includes miles of remote, challenging mountain biking trail through the Lake District, North Pennines and Northumberland, then this is the biking tour for you!

Our off-road C2C route is a real test of your technical mountain biking skills and stamina and will take you on some awesome Lake District mountain bike trails, over the Pennines and through some of the finest singletrack in Northumberland. It is normally ridden in 4 days, so you have time to take in all of the extra trails (such as the fantastic Ullswater loop) but if you are up for a tougher challenge then you can also arrange it over 3 days.

The c2c with you guys surely was a highlight of my summer too, and I'm already planning next years adventures, including a 293 km one-day road race in early july. That will be great training for a c2c somewhere later in the summer ;-)
