What to Expect:
This is a social ride for anyone above beginner level, the Claife Heights loop from Hawkshead is a mixture of terrain, with a good range of tricky climbs, long descents and lake side riding. Take in the beautiful views on this 14 mile loop.
It’s a really varied trail on a wide range of terrain meaning that this is not a ride suitable for absolute beginners- riders must be comfortable in tackling blue and red trails comfortably.
We will meet in the spot listed below, get acquainted and head out.
Once we are warm and ready we will get going at a chill pace, then we can take it from there. The loop itself is 22km / 14 miles with the chance of a coffee stop about 3/4 of the way around! So there will be the opportunity to take a break and grab some food.
It’s a super loose structure; we won’t be rushing to get done, the aim is to have fun, support each other and ride bikes as a group!
No pressure, just good times!
Where to Meet Us:
Lauren will be ready and waiting just outside the Hawkshead carpark at 09:45 ready to ride for 10 am (we’re not going to hang around too long, so try to be on time so you don’t miss the ride).
Lauren will be there so make yourself known to her and get acquainted.
The What3Words for our meeting spot:
What Should you Bring?:
It’s super important to note that we will not ride with anyone who is not wearing a helmet!
Other than that, the protective gear that you bring is up to you- we normally ride with knee pads and maybe gloves, depending on the conditions. You’ll also need a bike that is trail suitable and safe, and some water to keep you going.
It is possible to hire bikes in the area, but we strongly recommend that you do it well in advance if that’s your plan.
What Will it Cost?
The ride itself is totally free, we won’t be charging you anything for our company.
We’re meeting at Hawkshead carpark which is a paid carpark, however there’s no obligation to park here; you’re welcome to park elsewhere and just meet the group at Hawkshead if you like.
It’s totally up to you how long you stay for but getting the full day means we don’t have time restraints.
The prices are as follows(Please note these prices may vary depending on the season!):
2 Hours- £4.00
3 Hours- £5.00
4 Hours- £5.50
5 Hours- £6.60
24 Hours- £8.50
Other than that, having some money spare for a bit of lunch and a coffee is a great idea, although you don’t have to buy anything if you don’t want to- feel free to bring your own pack lunch and snacks, as well as plenty of water.

We do not accept any responsibility / liability for any accidents, and we will refuse to ride with anyone who arrives without the correct safety equipment or an unsafe bike. All riders must sign up in order to ride and in doing so you are agreeing to these terms. All riders must be ages 18 or above.
