'I'll sleep anywhere after a long days riding'

T H E    L A K E L A N D    L O O P     PIT - STOPS
6 days on/off road trail around the lake District
* One of the hardest thing to get right is to arrange accommodations when you are planning a major biking epic. We at Bicyclemania have done the donkey work for you, so all you have to do now, is see where the Trailfinders stopped off for the night.

* The Pit-Stops used on this trail are all ideally distanced between our achievable riding fitness. Please bear in mind they may not suit some cyclists fitness levels.
