The Cumbrian Cracker

Cycling Route

Details

56.87 mi

4,694 ft

The Cumbrian Cracker takes place from Grasmere Village Hall. The route is just short of 60 miles and heads South along the shores of Coniston to the feed stop at Cartmel Scout Hut. Following the feed stop the Northern leg then weaves it's way through fantastic cycling lanes, returning via Grizedale forest, Hawkshead and Ambleside.

You will see some fantastic views as you ride alongside Coniston Lake.

The route is undulating but does not climb any of the major passes, the roads in South Lakeland are some of the best you will ever ride and well worth the trip!

Hot food is available for everyone at the finish.
