| Many experienced riders will happily to tackle the entire northern tour in a day, but it lends itself to a more leisurely approach, either staying overnight in Arnside, or as two separate rides, using the good train service between Lancaster and Arnside. The mix of scenery – pastoral, coastal, woodland, wetland, even some rocky bits – means there’s never a dull moment.
Ride and terrain: The main route includes several short but delightful off-road sections; none are very difficult but a mountain bike is recommended. |

| This ride seeks out as much legal off-road action as possible in the rolling country south of Lancaster. It’s unlikely to satisfy hardcore mountain-bikers but does link some pleasant tracks, using quiet lanes wherever possible to make the connection. The undoubted highlight is the lovely descent of Grize Dale.
Mostly on quiet lanes and rough tracks. Experienced mountain bikers will find it tame, but novices should approach with caution. Naturally, a genuine mountain bike is ideal, though full suspension is unnecessary. The ford at Barrow Greaves and the salt-marsh after Cockerham are difficult after wet weather. |

| This route aims for the wide-open country around Pilling; once a landscape of meres and marshes, it has nearly all been drained and tamed, but the huge skies remain. As the land dried out, it also shrank, and in places the road stands well above the surrounding fields of black soil.
The first third of the ride is undulating, with one short steep climb at Tarnwater Lane. The ride’s on tarmac throughout and any serviceable bike will do fine. |

| Opening alongside the Lune Estuary, the route then explores rolling green farming country.
Apart from a short stretch on the A588, this route is mostly on quiet lanes plus some sections of cycle-path. There are few steep hills. Possible on any serviceable bike. |

| Venture out onto the heathery moors of the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This ride reaches 280m/920ft above sea-level; the climbing is mostly gradual and of course the views are stunning.
The ride’s all on tarmac. As it’s hilly, a good range of gears is a big help – and make sure your brakes are in good order before the descent of Quernmore Brow. |

| Flex your climbing muscles on this action-packed little ride; between Dolphinlee Bridge (point B) and Claughton (Point F), there’s scarcely a metre of level road. The challenge is matched by the rewards; this ride, more than any other, shows just how close Lancaster is to some truly stunning scenery. On a clear day it’s truly memorable.
This short ride packs in plenty of hills and some roughish tracks, so don’t underestimate it. A mountain bike is best, though you don’t need full suspension. An alternative route avoiding the off-road stuff is much shorter but still takes in a couple of tough climbs. Steep descents mean good brakes are a must too. |

| A beautiful ride, exploring the Lune Valley and quiet corners in the hills to the north. Great views crop up seemingly at every turn, especially over the Lune to the Three Peaks in Yorkshire.
Ride and terrain: There’s one short but very steep climb after Halton Park and several longer but more gradual ascents; the Lord's Lot climb is particularly satisfying. The route is all on tarmac and can be enjoyed on any serviceable bike.
Homeward route rejoins outward route before end. Bikely software doesn't like re-tracing the route so total distance given is an underestimate – it should be 45.4 km. |
