Trapping Hill / Côte de Lofthouse Climb from Lofthouse

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

This is where Annemiek van Vleuten attacked and started her 105 km solo ride to victory in the 2019 Cycling World Championships.

Steep but great views on the way up. When going up, look around you in the bend for some great views over the valley, when descending, keep your eyes on the road ;-)

Middleham Village Square & Racehorse Parade

Highlight • Historical Site

The racehorses train every morning on the gallops above Middleham/Coverham. They return to the stables from around 10:45. We all know that horses don't understand humans on bikes. If you are descending Coverdale into Middleham between 10:45 & 12:30, please be prepared to show a little patience. It can take 10 minutes to cover 800m. At other times, this is a fast clear run into Middleham. If you are riding out of Middleham at this time, then there's no issue. The horses can see you & you won't be going fast on the uphill drag either!

Bedale Market Town

Highlight • Cafe

Bedale is a thriving market town centred round a cobbled, Georgian square. It still continues its 750 year tradition of holding its market on a Tuesday. As it is on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales it makes for a great base for exploring further.

There are a number of great cafes in the town or for something cycling specific try the Tandem Cafe on the Bedale Road heading north east from the centre.

There a number of interesting historic buildings in Bedale, including Bedale Hall, the Leech House (used by an apothecary to store leeches) and the Old Grammar School.

Pateley Bridge

Highlight • Settlement

A village that's still riding high on the 2014 Tour de France hype, Pateley Bridge is a real treat when you pass through on a bike. A lot of idyllic stone houses in this small market town. In 2016 it won a national award for its high street and the locals really take pride in their environment. The local delicacy is the Pateley Pie and they reckon it's best to try it from one of the two local butchers.
