Easy Breezy Durham City

Easy Breezy Durham City
Sun 7th October 10am 5 miles
Start Clayport Library Millennium Place DH1 1WA

This is a regular favourite of ours - a surprising 5 mile circuit largely on traffic free cycle routes from Durham City Centre to Newton Hall and Brasside and back along the River Wear. You will be impressed with the network of off road routes close to Durham as well as the lovely Crook Hall cafe which was voted favourite cake stop in a recent Breeze Network Durham poll. We’ll stop here for a cuppa and present them with a momento of their accolade.

The ride is suitable for any bike other than very skinny road tyres. In true Durham style there are some hills but they are worth the effort for the lovely views of the Cathedral on the way back downhill to town. We may even be amongst a blaze of autumn colour. If you’re new to Breeze this is a great opportunity to take that leap and join us for a short ride.

It may be cold at this time of year so please dress suitably for the weather - decent gloves, a buff and extra layers and remember to bring a spare tube to fit your tyres. You are better to be overdressed as you can always take layers off.

In order for the ride to leave promptly, please be punctual so we can carry out bike checks, etc. prior to us setting off. Give yourself time if you need to park and get to Millennium Place. Expect to be out for up to a couple of hours including our refreshment stop.

For any queries you can send us a message via our Breeze network Durham Facebook page or once booked on the ride via the ‘Conversation’ tab. For any last minute cancellations on the day please text 07493808927 (note this phone is only for the day of the ride) otherwise use the option to cancel when you log in to letsride.co.uk. If the weather is poor we will only contact you if we are cancelling the ride and will do so no later than 8am on the day. If you haven’t heard from us the ride is going ahead.
