With the new year just ahead of us, we’ve put together this handy guide to the 100 best British cycle routes.

Covering the whole of the UK and with routes listed for different levels of fitness, cycling ability and style of bike you’re sure to find something to whet your cycling appetite and get you out on the road, trail or bridle path amongst this little lot.

Ranging from short leisure rides suitable for all the family to more demanding road routes aimed at the wannabe Wiggins all the way through to the best mountain bike spots for trail tearaways we’ve done the research, plotted the routes and measured the distances so you don’t have to. All you need to do is saddle up and get out there!

Packing spare inner tubes, hand pump, a multi-tool and a waterproof jacket into a backpack or your panniers would also be a good idea. Take our word for it, packing the wrong type of inner tube into our bag before riding around the coast of the Isle Of Wight did inevitably come back to haunt us.
