Askham Fell Loop - Let's Ride Through Winter

Join us for a 9 mile mountain bike ride from Lowther Castle. This ride is suitable for anyone who is new to mountain biking or wants to give mountain biking a go. We will be riding on a mix of the Lowther Estate cycle trails, quiet country roads, bridleways and tracks on Askham Fell. There are no technical sections on this ride though there is a good climb at the start to take us onto Askham Fell.
We will always ride at the pace of the slowest rider so no one is left behind. The aim of the ride is to have a fun sociable ride in the company of other women, build up confidence in our riding in a supportive group environment, as well ask questions about bikes and riding, and make links with others.
Remember to wear clothes that are comfortable to cycle in and suitable for the weather conditions. It is a good idea to bring a spare inner tube, a waterproof jacket, a snack and a bottle of water. We always recommend that you wear a cycle helmet.

This is a mountain bike ride and we will mostly be riding off-road though there is a short section on quiet country road.

I am planning to have coffee and cake at the end of the ride at Lowther Castle.

Please wear a helmet and bring a spare inner tube.

We never leave anyone behind
