If you’re fairly confident on your bike and ready to broaden your cycling horizons, our Steady rides are ideal. At a comfortable pace, and possibly with some modest hills along the way, rides take place on mainly quiet roads with plenty of sights along the way. Rides are between 6 and 20 miles long, at a moderate pace of between 7 and 10 miles an hour. A lovely ride exploring the lanes of Eden and the Fellside starting and returning to Acorn Bank, a National Trust property with a working water wheel, cafe and toilets.  Great views of the highest peaks in the Pennines as you cycle along quiet country roads through several 12th century villages. Local bike hire is available from Lake District Cycling, tel 07917608566 up to day before ride. Please state it is for Sky Ride Local.
