As a top caravanning spot, the Lake District has something to offer everyone. But now mountain biking enthusiasts have even more reason to visit.
For the first time this year, a new mountain biking event known as Lake Epic will be taking place over two days in May.
Sponsored by planetFear, the ride will cover 110 kilometres of mountainous Lake District terrain which will challenge even the most seasoned of riders.
It will be held on May 21st and 22nd during the Keswick Mountain Festival, which runs from May 18th to 22nd.
Participants will begin their ride from the festival’s adventure base in Keswick, covering 65 kilometres on the first day before staying overnight in a tent and continuing on to complete the remaining 45 kilometres the next day.
Those who don’t fancy having a go themselves can find a good viewing spot and take in all the action from the sidelines.
Alternatively, they could pack their own mountain bikes on their caravanning trip and sample some of the many gentler but equally scenic routes the Lake District has to offer.
