Ride description:
We won't be serving the magnificent powdered dessert, Angel Delight, but, using a combination of road and cycle trails, we'll find our way to the Angel of the North. Is there a greater symbol of the north?!?... Well, ok, the Tyne Bridge is pretty iconic but we use that on other routes! ha...
This route uses a combination of road and cycle trails - some of the trails are pretty rough and gravelly, so definitely most suited to gravel bikes, hybrids, CX or mountain bikes. Road bikes with skinny tyres are NOT suitable for this route.
Although there'll be an opportunity for a loo stop, we won't be stopping at a cafe - please bring your own packed lunch and hot drink as we'll have ten minutes at the Angel... (Angel Delight optional!!... yum)...

Please make sure your bike is in working condition PRIOR to arriving for the ride and bring a spare inner tube to fit your tyres (check the valve type too!) and/or a puncture repair kit. The leaders can help you fix a puncture, but only if you have the right size inner tube for your bike or a puncture repair kit!
Whilst we welcome any bike type, we have zero knowledge of e-bikes, so if you are riding an e-bike, please come prepared to independently sort out any mechanicals that you may have.

Helmets are not mandatory, but are strongly advised.

If the weather is poor, we will only contact you if we are cancelling the ride and will do so by putting a message in the ‘conversation’ tab in the ride. You should receive a notification by email if there is a message. If you have not heard from us we are still riding.

If you book on this ride and then find you have to cancel, please do so as soon as you can so that your place is available to someone else.

PHOTOGRAPHY - The organiser of the ride may take photographs or videos of the ride and riders for publicity purposes. By registering to participate in the ride, you agree that photographic images of you or containing you, may be used by the organiser, sponsors or promoters of the ride for publicity purposes

We look forward to seeing you.
