Fellow cyclists.
Lake District is not too far away from my flat in Paisley, Scotland and I am keen to have a bite at the famous roads down there this summer. I am planning a 2-3 days long bikeride through the area and I am happily doing 150 km a day or so. I will use tent.
I am playing around with Google Earth which is not the most reliable when it comes to hills and steepness. But it still comes up with a lot of "candy". The biggest piece of candy is Honister Pass which I guess is obligatory. I guess I have to build my tour around Honister. But how is Cockley Beck when it comes to fun on a racing bike ? How high above sea level is it ? How is the road between Lake Windermere and Keswick ? Both seems fun on Google Earth, but what is the reality ?
Is there any good roads I as fond of brilliant sceneries and use Isle Of Arran as a reference point for fun cycling should not miss out on ?
