gonna be starting at wheelbase, and want to stay where there are good real ale pubs.
was thinking keswick or patterdale/ullswater 1st night, buttermere 2nd night and coniston 3rd night.
now to link it up or any better ideas.
Patterdale to buttermere would be a right old ride mate.
Sounds like a good un tho.
dave, helvellyn and lanes will do, were are gonna be on our holidays mate.............. 8)
One possible Patterdale to Buttermere route:

You could always come over Sticks Pass rather than take the Coach Road (a fair amount of hike a bike though)...also it can get a bit boggy coming over to Watendlath from Thirlmere.

that is the route i was looking at, but doing sticks 1st.
might cut is short tho and stay in rosthwaite area.
thanks
The Lakeland Loop book By Tim Woodcock is worth a look for the classic route round the lakes. Two day ride really, but two really big days so could easily be spread out a bit more for a more relaxed approach 😉

The Langstrath Inn at Stonethwaite is good for a pint.
If you're setting off from Rosthwaite on the second day, you could try something like...

...dropping you out at pub in Wasdale (bit cheeky over Haystacks).
