Cicerone Press's video: The Way of the Roses cycle route highlights from the Cicerone guidebook set to music

The Way of the Roses guidebook author Rachel Crolla has written a song about the route. The video of images from the route gives a flavour of The Way of the Roses; it is a genuinely inspirational ride! The video features hand-drawn animation from junior cyclists as well as Rachel's original song. Rachel says: "I wrote about the highlights and key moments of the Way of the Roses ride. The lyrics had to include my personal favourite parts of the route such as the historic county border at the Great Stone of Fourstones, the iconic Three Peaks and the toughest climb of the route at Settle’s High Hill Lane. The song was truly inspired by a great ride and to me it encapsulates everything that is great about the Way of the Roses and the spirit of the route." A 170-mile challenge within the reach of cyclists of all abilities. The Way of the Roses is possible on a road bike or a hybrid. A three day itinerary of 50-60 miles per day is described, along with longer and shorter options. Cycle from coast to coast from Morecambe to Bridlington through the spectacular scenery of the Lune Valley, the Forest of Bowland, the Yorkshire Dales, Nidderdale, the Vale of York and the Yorkshire Wolds, on peaceful minor roads and with traffic-free sections on dismantled railways.
