Breeze round the block and up the bank

From New College Durham we will cycle along the road and up to Sacriston before swooping down through the village and up through Daisy Hill, turning right at Edmondsley to enjoy the downhill through Waldridge and then Chester-le-Street. From here we will cross the A167 and the River Wear to climb back up to Great Lumley and enjoy the views over weardale. A final pedal past Finchale Priory and up Cocken Bank to Brasside and return to the start.
A lovely loop for a sunny Spring evening.

A lovely, challenging loop from Durham to Chester-le-Street and back over the hills and back up Cocken Bank

All on road, expect to be cycling in traffic as some of the roads will be busy.

We will stop along the road for photos, but no refreshment stops are planned.

Helmets are always advisable, as are clothing suitable for the weather. Hi Viz or colourful jacket, a pump and a spare inner tube as well as a bottle of water. We also suggest you bring along lights as this is an evening ride.

We never leave anyone behind
