Introducing our family-friendly bikepacking Collection, featuring tried and tested routes, ideal for riding with kids. This Collection highlights my trip along the North Yorkshire coastline, providing an ideal weekend adventure for the entire family.

Our two-day bikepacking adventure took us along the Cinder Track, a former railway line stretching from Scarborough to Whitby. We cycled a total of 48 miles (76 km), covering 24 miles (38 km) each day on an out-and-back route.

We kicked off our journey with a stay at Scarborough's Bike and Boot Hotel, perfect for outdoor enthusiasts and a great starting point to explore the coastal town and beachfront. Midway, we stayed in Whitby, a lovely seaside town with plenty to offer.

Our group included three mums, a teenager, a child, and two toddlers. We used trailers for the little ones, and CeCe joined us on a recumbent trike. While the gate access was good, the trail varied in difficulty, with some lumpy and challenging sections, making it less suitable for complete beginners. The Cinder Track is family-friendly but requires the right type of bike, especially for adaptive cycles.

Along the way, we enjoyed numerous café stops and had the option to visit interesting spots like Robin Hood's Bay.

I've included the complete route in this Collection, so you can choose to cycle the entire round trip in one day or customise it with additional stops to suit your preferences.
