　　Route：

　　Rostrevor to Carlingford, County Down (30­42 miles)

　　"My favourite bike ride would start in Rostrevor, County Down, where I grew up，" says Oisin Sands.

　　The ride takes in some breathtaking views on the way to the pretty harbour town of Carlingford. From Carlingford, head back to Newry. Or save on tired legs by taking the ferry from Omeath on the south side to Warrenpoint in the summer, and cycling the short distance back to the start.

　　"The ride weaves through the dramatic countryside of the North, my homeland, before finishing in South Shields，" says Kirsty, who in 2012 completed a 4,000­mile ride around the coast of Britain with her father.

　　Route：Union Canal, Linlithgow to the Falkirk Wheel (12 miles)

　　This flat journey along the Scottish branch of the Union Canal is a favourite with Helen Curry.

　　"Follow the towpath (拉船路) along the northern bank of the canal and cross the River Avon，" says Helen. "You'll pass the impressive ruins of Almond Castle."

　　At over 2,000 feet long, you'll be cycling through Scotland's longest canal tunnel.
