Staycations are in this year, so why not choose something that promises to get your heart rate up? The Yorkshire Dales Cycling Tour is a great way to see some of the local untamed beauty that makes Yorkshire so unique and keep fit in the process.

Cycling offers you a great way to keep fit with exercise that strengthens your core muscles, calves, and thighs. The route offers a challenging terrain that far outstrips any stationary cycle for a range of motion. You’ll be competing in the very place where many a professional has earned their yellow jersey.

With some very steep inclines, this tour is not for the faint-hearted. It covers more than 180 miles from Harrogate to Kirkby Stephen and back again over two days. You’ll be treated to spectacular views, with a specially stocked support vehicle for lunchtime snacks and baggage.

There are options for guided tours with a range of support so you can concentrate on cycling. They also offer self-guided tours for cyclists that prefer to cycle independently. If you’re interested in camping, then in addition to a stay at Tan Hill Inn, you’ll be directed to the best camping spots.

There are a variety of options for booking from now until Christmas. Prices start at just £180 with support and accommodation included. Book with a group of your own or join a group of up to 12 cyclists, to experience the Dales a new way.
