Conquer the Passes
Legendary mountain passes, hidden gems and the finest biker cafés - on a full-day guided ride led by a local who has known these roads for almost thirty years.
Not a route on a map. A day out with a local.
You bring the bike and the gear - we take care of the route, the timing and the stops. All you have to focus on is the road, the scenery and the ride.
A true local guide
Simon has lived and ridden in the Lakes for almost 30 years - and served on the Kendal Mountain Rescue team. Nobody knows these fells better.
Hidden gems
Quiet back roads, unmarked viewpoints and corners most visitors drive straight past. The kind of places you only find with someone who lives here.
Legendary roads & vistas
Flowing passes, lakeside sweepers and big mountain views around almost every bend - some of the finest riding country in the UK.
Cafés & lunch stops
Every stop is chosen by someone who rides - the best biker-friendly cafés and a proper lunch in a traditional Lakeland spot.

Simon knows every bend
Having lived in the Lakes for almost thirty years, I have extensive knowledge of the local roads, scenic routes, mountain passes and hidden gems that make this one of the finest riding destinations in the UK.
As a keen motorcyclist - and a long-serving member of the Kendal Mountain Rescue Team - I also know the best biker-friendly cafés and stopping points along the way. My aim is simple: a relaxed, memorable ride where you focus on the road while I take care of the rest.
“Ride at a comfortable pace, make regular stops, and enjoy the best roads in the Lakes - it's about the day, not the race.”
What riders say
“Roads I'd never have found on my own, a brilliant café stop and a guide who genuinely cares that everyone has a good day. Faultless.”
“I was worried I'd hold everyone up. Not for a second — relaxed pace, plenty of stops, and the scenery was unreal. Booking the next one.”
“Simon's local knowledge is the difference. The passes were epic and the lunch stop was spot on. Proper day out on two wheels.”
