Roll out from Elterwater. A gentle warm-up leads south toward Colwith Orchard, with soft climbs, hedgerows, and the River Brathay keeping you company.

Sweep into Little Langdale. The valley opens up as you pass the calm waters of Little Langdale Tarn. The gradients begin to build and the terrain turns wilder.

Tackle the Side Gates climb. Steep and unrelenting, this iconic ascent pays you back with big views over the Langdale Valley. Near Side Pike, take a moment to breathe it in, then get ready to fly.

Descend into Great Langdale. Fast, technical, and unforgettable. Thread sharp bends beneath towering fells, then cruise past the mirror-still Blea Tarn and its postcard reflections.

Finish strong through Chapel Stile. Roll through the welcoming village and close the loop back at Elterwater. Recovery pint optional, highly recommended.
