If you miss this event, the Coast to Coast in a Day will be back on 28th June 2014.
An iconic route cycled by hundreds of people every year, usually over 4 or 5 days. But how about doing it in just 1 day?
A stunning 150 mile road ride from the mountainous Western Lake District, through the Yorkshire Dales, across the flat Vale of York and finally the Northern Valleys of the North York Moors, finishing by the sea in Whitby.
What better way to tick off this iconic cycle than by doing it in one day?.
Registration will be at Seascale School on the Friday evening and Saturday morning. The school grounds will be available for camping, so you can just get up and go first thing in the morning.

For those camping we can transfer your tent too, so long as it's not of marquee proportions! Sorry but no liquids in the bags - they just make a mess of your kit. Unless your making own arrangements please hand your kit bag over to our Kit Van Marshals based at Seascale Primary School before heading to the Start. Your kit bag will be at Whitby Leisure Centre awaiting your arrival.
We would encourage you to wear whatever you feel most comfortable in, giving regard to the fact you will be crossing the country and the very changeable nature of the weather in Northern England. There are a few things we have to insist upon:
- Helmet.
- Waterproof jacket.
- Repair kit including spare inner tubes, pump, multi tool & tyre levers.
- Rear front and lights.
- Maintained bike in good working order.
- We suggest you bring some change with you on the ride, just in case. You might decide on an impromptu café stop or an emergency inner tube purchase.
Trackers are available to hire for the event and a great way for supporters to see your progress along the route. Also after the event we will send you a GPX file containing all the track information to keep as a souvenir.
