Welcome to Mountain Bike Cumbria
There are many thousands of reasons to come and ride your mountain bike on Cumbria's sweet trails, even if you already live here! Here I have placed photography of my travels, some of them might not be from Cumbria or even closer to home in the Lake District, but there is more information and trails to be found around. Delve in, discover more and take notes! Then ride!
Madcap comic Phil Kay will be leading a special bike ride around the Grizedale Forest on 26 May during which he will give fellow cyclists the benefit of his unique brand of humour through a loudhailer. 5pm from Cafe In The Forest.
Later, that evening he will be heading to Wheelbase at Staveley, Cumbria for a mad bike comedy show 7.30pm.
Tickets are available from our Box Office 01539 725133 or web breweryarts.co.uk , there are discount for group bookings.
As you may have noticed this site hasn't been updated since 2009 for a few reasons.
In 2012 I plan to get the site going again with new trails and photographs! - James
