Bring the Lake District to your bike with a fast, scenic indoor ride. We roll out from the quiet edges of Redhills, pick up the A592 toward Pooley Bridge, and shadow the River Eamont until Ullswater—one of the Lakes’ true icons—spreads out alongside us.
Hugging the northern shore, we pass through leafy Watermillock and settle into smooth, steady miles before turning south to Glenridding, the gateway for hikers and climbers. From here, the road rises toward Helvellyn, with Place Fell (657 m) setting a dramatic backdrop. We close beneath Sheffield Pike (675 m), where sweeping views take in Ullswater and the rugged flanks of Birkhouse Moor.
Expect a satisfying mix of tempo sections, gentle descents, and a purposeful climb—easy to scale up or down for any fitness level. Dial your resistance to match the terrain and let the scenery do the rest.
