The Top 5 Cycling Routes according to Red Bull
With your Towbar professionally fitted & your Cycle Carrier in tow, you're all set to explore further afield; we have a list of the top 5 awe-inspiring routes according to RedBull.
The Lakeland Loop – Lake District
65km of breath-taking mountainous scenery hugging the shoreline of Lake Coniston. If your legs can take it, the climb through Wrynose Pass hits a gradient of 30% incline, and the whole route's elevation gain is 1,393m. Don't worry; there are some spiralling downwards dips to rest your legs.
The Box Hill Olympic Circuit – Surrey
Starting & finishing at Box Hill, the 17km meandering route overlooks the river Mole whilst speeding through some of England's most accessible & beautiful scenery. A great ride to follow in the pedals of the pro-peloton.
The Camel Trail – Cornwall
A traffic-free route that's ideal for beginners. The Camel Trail provides the perfect setting for carefree cycling or a leisurely Sunday saunter. The route runs the length of a disused railway line and spans 19km of Cornish Countryside.
The Settle Circular – Yorkshire
A hardy route that every cycling enthusiast should attempt. Yorkshire is known as one of the world's best locations when it comes to cycling & has increased in popularity since the Tour De France utilised the dramatic landscape. This 64km loop is both beautiful & challenging. So prepare for short, sharp climbs & fast-rolling descents.
Assynt Achiltibuie Circuit – Scotland
Scotland is rapidly increasing in popularity within the world of cycling, offering the most picturesque landscape & turbulent terrain. The quiet, untapped highland roads are unparalleled when it comes to natural beauty, & the Achiltibuie loop is no exception. The full circuit is 121km & hits an elevation gain of 2079m, so it isn't for the faint-hearted, but the backdrop of landmarks such as Loch Assynt & the ruins of Ardvreck Castle make the aching legs worthwhile.
