Route Information
The UK’s most popular challenge cycle route, the C2C is often thought to stand for ‘Coast to Coast’, but the name is actually short for ‘Sea to Sea’. The iconic route travels 137 miles between the Irish Sea and the North Sea, from Cumbria to Tyneside, passing through the northern Lake District before climbing the Pennines and descending to the railway paths of County Durham.

Where do I start? The route is best ridden from west to east to take advantage of the prevailing winds. The gradients are kinder this way round too, with longer downhill and shorter uphill sections.

Don’t forget to follow tradition. Most riders follow the tradition of dipping their back wheel in the Irish Sea at the start of the journey and their front wheel in the North Sea when they finish.

Which bike? All bikes are suitable to tackle the C2C.  There are off-road sections along the route, but you always have the option of taking the surfaced alternative.
