The Classic Coast to Coast Cycle Route
Whitehaven to Tynemouth - C2C bike ride
137 miles over 2 or 3 days
Crossing the country by bike is a fabulous trip to do, and gives riders a great sense of achievement as they pedal those last miles with the North Sea insight. Along the way on the Coast 2 Coast, you take in The Lake District, Eden Valley, Pennines and Northumbria - altogether some of the most beautiful parts of Great Britain.
Our trips give you the choice of completing the Coast to Coast cycle route over 2 or 3 days of cycling.
The 2 day version is aimed at the swift fit road cyclist happy with 70 miles a day. Arriving Friday evening and cycling on the Saturday, complete the ride on Sunday afternoon.
The 3 day version is enough to be a challenge, but still do-able by any moderately fit person. We also make the best use of the weekends, so you arrive with us on a Thursday evening and ride on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

A road bike, hybrid bike or mountain bike is suited for this Sustrans C2C bike ride route, as the route has small variants for each type of rider.
For mountain bikers we also offer something a little different - extra C2C bike ride route options with great off-road riding. With CycleActive being based on the Coast to Coast cycle route itself, it's not surprising that we know a few great detours, not shown on any "Coast 2 Coast route - official maps". These are all legal (on rights of way), and really spice up the ride for those people who want to try them.
