Sustrans' Circular Day Rides North

75 routes in Northern England, Scotland and Northern Ireland

This brand new collection features 75 circular rides of between 20 and 30 miles on different terrain across the National Cycle Network, quiet lanes and byways. These rides are a great way to explore the northern half of the UK and take in spectacular scenery from the saddle. Most of the rides begin and end at a train station making them very accessible. This book is intended for intermediate to experienced cyclists and rides range from easy to difficult. A map, route profile and text directions are provided for every ride, plus a list of places to eat and drink along the route and nearby bike shops and hire. GPX navigation files for each route are available to download.
