Go the distance with the new Cycling for All guide
Cycling for all guide
New cycling guide published with information on new 20 to 34 mile bike rides.
Lancaster City Council has launched a colourful new guide to take the more seasoned cyclist venturing deeper into its city, coast and countryside.
Cycle for All (2) provides riders with at-a-glance information on eight great rides ranging from 20-34 miles.
Featuring stunning photography by Jon Sparks and using his experience as a writer of guides for both ramblers and cyclists, the guide takes cyclists from the bustling heart of the city to the edge of the Bowland Hills, the wide-open country surrounding Pilling and many more which offer fantastic views at every turn including the three peaks in Yorkshire.
All rides should be suitable for anyone with a bit of cycling experience. Some can be enjoyed on all types of bike whilst others are best tackled on a mountain bike (although tarmac alternatives are provided for these).
The cycling guide is now available, free of charge from the council's visitor information centres and town halls at Lancaster and Morecambe or via www.celebratingcycling.org
The full list of rides including an electronic map which allows users to view climbs and downhills can also be found at www.bikely.com/listpaths/by/fellstumbler
