DH3 2AB
A simple 'there and back' route from Chester le Street to the Royal Quays Marina, North Shields.
We will use a mixture of off road tracks/paths and road riding.
Starting off on the C2C, wending our way through Washington to the Bowes Line to Jarrow and then on to the Tyne Cycle Tunnel.
If the Shields Ferry is back in operation, we have the option of looping back via South Shields (an additional 5 miles), otherwise we will use the same route back.
The Lock cafe is a favourite of mine - on a mild day it's a lovely spot to sit outside and pretend you're on holiday :-D
Please check your bike is in good working condition before the day and bring a spare inner tube to fit your tyres. A drink and a helmet are also advised, as well as clothing appropriate for the weather conditions.
If you're travelling to the start point by car, parking is available at the nearby Dobbies Garden Centre.
You can contact the leader(s) directly via the ‘Message Ride Creator’ tab in the ride posting on Let’s Ride.
We look forward to seeing you.
