- A ride for the novice off-road mountain biker. The video pays particular attention to the off-road sections to ensure potential riders can view the terrain and judge if it is suitable for their level of riding ability.
A scenic, circular, e-mtb ride in a quiet region of the English Lake District National Park to the South-West of Coniston Water. The first half of the route travels along some wonderful grassy bridleways & quiet, but steep, country lanes around Subberthwaite Common & on towards Woodland Fell. The downhill bridleway on Woodland Fell is somewhat rocky but not too technical and the same goes for a short section down from the Knott towards the end of the ride.
This ride is 19.5 miles long & roughly 65-70% off-road. A basic map showing the route is available at the end of the video.
This is a lovely route for those riders who don't fancy the more technical, high-level routes; the routes that are readily available in books, magazines, youtube etc.
I've put together this ride and several others (work in progress) as I've found a distinct lack of detailed information on rideable off-road routes for those of us with mountain e-bikes (hardtail or full suspension) who want to enjoy an easier, but fun, ride. I've spent considerable time walking bridleways to assess rideability as many are just not suitable for our needs or just overgrown!
The number of senior e-bike riders appears to be rapidly increasing and I'm hoping these routes will be useful to those visiting Cumbria and the Lake District and maybe even the local residents, like ourselves.

Bracken was so high I thought I was in the jungle for a second. Getting braver on the descents now 🤘🏻
Steady away ….. never going to go fast as not sure I would recover from a tumble!! 🤪
Another great video, well done to you both. Can I please ask, what phone mount are you using, it looks pretty stable also what do you use for route planning and does it have turn by turn voice navigation, thanks
Thanks for feedback. I use the Bosch SmartphoneGrip to hold iPhone but think this is only usable with the new Bosch smart system! I plan the routes myself on Komoot and then transfer across to the e-bike flow app so I can view route as we ride. No voice navigation although I have used Komoot app once instead of flow app and that had voice turn by turn navigation on. Prefer not to have voice navigation as find in a bit irritating
@@cumbriane-biketrails7944 Thanks very much for the helpful info
Are you on Strava? I've done most of these bridalways but wouldn't mind knowing the full route you've done? Thank you
I’m visible on Komoot under Cumbrian e-bike trails, not Strava as yet. There is a route map at the end of the video though! 👍🙂
@@cumbriane-biketrails7944 I've not been able to find you on Komoot. Could you possibly follow me so I can see the routes. Thank you
Sorry for delay responding ..... following you now! As yet not all routes visible to public as in process of weeding through rides.
@@cumbriane-biketrails7944 thank you, I love your videos, I'm not in to a lot of technical stuff. I don't have an electric bike but it gives me an idea of the different rides I can do and you explain the directions well. Well done x
Appreciate your comment. Thank you.
