The Tour of the Roses

The Tour of the Roses is a guided ride over three successive days, taking in the best of the Yorkshire Dales, Lake District and Forest of Bowland in Lancashire. Covering a total of 315km with nearly 6,000m of climbing, including Buttertubs, Hardknott Pass and 'the Struggle', the Tour of the Roses will be a proper test of endurance for any amateur cyclist.

Places are intentionally limited to keep it as social and safe as possible. We'll ride in small groups, so everyone gets to know each other. There's full support and home-made sandwiches and cakes on offer at the lunches and refreshment breaks.

Our base for the weekend will be Kendal: easy to reach with plenty of accommodation options. We’ve negotiated a fantastic group rate at the four-star Castle Green Hotel, with swimming pool, steam room, and its own local pub in the grounds.
