Easy Breezy Five great views of Durham Cathedral

Start from Renny's Lane, Burger Van corner outside Magnet Trade. There is free on street parking along Renny's Lane. Just to confuse matters as it is half term the Burger Van, may not be on site but if yiu are in the vicinity of Magnet car park, you will see us.

We will be cycling down Bent House Lane towards Durham Old Gardens. Our first view of the Cathedral is here. Traveling along the riverside we have our second fabulous view.
As we travel up through the city centre we will stop in front of the Cathedral for our 3rd view and photograph. From here we will drop down to the river, crossing over Prebends Bridge and up into the Universty complex for 2 more marvellous views. After this, it is a short downhill ride to Durham Amateur Rowing Club for refreshments. The club may be busy so we could be sitting outside. There are blankets available if you are cold.
Leaving the rowing club we will make our way to Maiden Castle, cross the river and climb up beside Old Durham Gardens back to our start.
Anybody wishing to visit the new Giant Cycle shop, I am more than happy to take you there as it is literally just around the corner.

We do strongly advise that you wrap up warmly, layers are better than one thick top. The weather can be very changeable at this time of year, so waterproofs at the ready are also advisable. On all our rides we do strongly recommend you wear a helmet and you carry with you 2 spare inner tubes that fit your bike

Please also remember, if you are unable to join the ride, to cancel through this porthole and also message the ride leader. In the event we deemed it unsafe to cycle we will let you know no later than 9am on the day.

Please also note, there are a couple of inclines during the ride, which may be challenging if you are new to cycling. If you need to get off and push, that is fine as we will wait for you. We never leave anybody behind.
