Easy Breezy Tithe Barn in the City

Easy Breezy Tithe Barn in the City

Who knew there was a Tithe Barn in the city centre? We discovered this during lockdown so thought it worthy of a Breeze themed ride. This is a short taster breeze ride for those recently returned to cycling or those who haven’t been out for a while.

Our route is a great showcasing of the city. We start by breezing the riverbanks to Shincliffe and back to Green Lane. We’ll pass the Crown Court and discover the Tithe Barn, hidden away behind Whinney Hill. Our journey then explores some of the university site before heading across the river via Prebends Bridge and back down the Bailey, past the Cathedral and Castle to our start by the library.

We’ll be following a mix of good quality off-road paths and quiet roads and being short, the ride is most suitable for beginners or those wanting to build confidence and any type of bike will do the job.

As always we can’t predict the weather so please dress suitably for winter in nirth east England. You may well need gloves and a buff/snood to keep your neck warm. Please come with bike lights in case conditions are dreary.

In order for the ride to leave promptly, please be punctual so we can carry out bike checks, etc. prior to us setting off. Please make sure your bike is in working condition and bring a spare tube to fit your tyres. Expect to be out for about an hour.
