Mountain Biking in the Lake District is an indispensible biking guidebook that describes 24 cracking routes in the English Lakes, offering some of the best off road riding in the UK. The routes are suitable for all abilities of MTB riders and are arranged by difficulty so that you pick your level and go straight to the right route for you. Covering the whole of the Lake District, no matter where you are staying, there should be a suitable route for you.
Routes are graded from blue (medium), to red (hard) and then black (very hard). Novice mountain bikers with reasonable bike-handling skills should be able to complete the blue routes, while more proficient and experienced riders will find the red routes more interesting and then be fully challenged by the black routes. Each route is given an Off Road Percentage so that you know how much tarmac you will have to tread compared to the real off road fun
