Reservoir Romp

Ahh what could be better than a good old Romp around the Dales? A Goldilocks route giving you that just right balance of distance and climbing to ensure a challenging but enjoyable day in the saddle. At just shy of 80 miles and 2,000 meters this is no walk in the park, it's a good solid country Romp.

Riders aged 16 years and over are welcome to ride this route.
