Bournemouth – Bradford on Avon – Bourton on the Water – Burton on Trent – Bollington (or Broadbottom) – Blackpool
All the ‘Bs’ with loads of teas and other treats along this south – north route with options to include more (or less) hills
A sample here: Stow on the Wold (there was no room in any inn in Bourton) – Burton on Trent. On this occasion the weather had been harsh and the bike had been temperamental; there were ongoing ankle and back issues
Day 3: Stow – Burton 117km 536m elevation gain

Bournemouth:Blackpool can in five days give the most established stamina a thorough beating. Recommended for experienced riders seeking a demanding challenge. Spreading it over a longer timespan – or just doing a bit or two – means more time to enjoy some of the best of English countryside and a fair bit of heritage
