DAY RIDE IN SOUTH LAKES

THE LAKE DISTRICT is renowned by cyclists for enormous hills and stunning countryside. Up here today, I decided to find if there are easier rides. Living close to Dartmoor, there is no option but to climb hills for most rides, so I am not afraid to seek out new climbs. Today, however, I wanted an easy day riding with my daughter, Jo where fun rules and not challenges.



Jo loves kite surfing and mountain biking in that order. The off road trails in the Lake District keep her chilled while kite surfing takes her across the World, including South Africa, Brazil, Egypt and even China.
National Cycle Route 6 from Lancaster to Kendal and Route 70 to Grange give some picturesque easy riding without compromising on scenery. Here are a few pictures:
