If the coast is what you crave, then we couldn’t recommend this route enough! Spanning 65 miles of generally, uninterrupted costal road, the route from Woolacombe to Bridgwater via Exmoor National Park is truly incredible. Taking roughly 2 hours of solid riding, there are plenty of banking turns, a spectacular views, but we do suggest stopping about 30 minutes into the ride at the Old Station House Inn.

• Total distance: 105 miles

Twists, turns and bends, the route from Skipton to Gretna through the Yorkshire Dales, and scooting past the North Pennines, will truly take you through your paces. Starting in Skipton, within a short ½ mile you are within the Yorkshire Dales. Climbing up to Buttertubs Pass, you will drop into some incredible twits and turns that will truly give you a thrill. As this is quite a long ride, you’ll certainly need a break. Where else would we recommend other than the services at Tebay – just over an hour into your ride it provides a haven to rest and recharge. Continue from here up the M6 to Gretna which generally has a clear run giving you the freedom to ride! With a combination of intense riding at the start, with more of a straight run at the end, this was a no brainer for placing second in our top rides for April.
