MTB: Sedbergh - the Bowderdale Classic
Cycling Route
Details
39.4 km
930 m
A truly classic trip that should be saved for a good day. The Howgills reach 676m and poor weather would mean good navigation and difficult trail conditions. The description below takes you up the steep way and down Bowderdale valley, often voted one of the best bits of singletrack in the country. Some prefer to go the other way round - the choice is yours.
