This site is the home of a group of Teessiders who like to get out and about on our bikes at weekends or whenever possible.

As well as doing regular trips around North Yorkshire we occasionally venture further afield and tackle much longer routes sometimes over several days or even weeks.

In June 2012 we head for Bourg D’Oisans in the French Alps for this year’s tour, Jura Alps 2012. We’ll be tackling many of the Tour de France classic climbs including the Col du Galibier, L’Alpe d’Huez and Les Deux Alpes.

At the end of June 2011 we headed for the South of France for Le Tour 2011. We tackled two of the peaks made famous via the Tour de France, Mont Ventoux and the Col Du Tourmalet, in between travelling along the Canal du Midi.

In June 2010 we tackled the Camino de Santiago, a pilgrim route starting in Saint Jean Pied de Port , France and finishing in Santiago de Compostela, Spain, a distance of nearly 900 km.

On an annual basis we also tackle the Coast to Coast route and that’s where our name ‘Coastbusters’ comes from.

The Coast to Coast (C2C) cycle route which runs across the North of England from the Cumbrian coast to Sunderland, Tynemouth or Saltburn on the North Sea coast.

At the C2C start on Walney Island 2011

On August 19th 2011 we rode the Coast to Coast from Walney Island, via Kendal and Barnard Castle and finishing up in Saltburn.

On August 20th 2010 we rode the Coast to Coast from Whitehaven to South Shields.
