Newburn Rowing Club

Starting from Asda, we'll ride through Jesmond and Shieldfield down to the Tyne. We'll cross the Millennium bridge and follow the southern side of the river west to Newburn, where we'll stop for a sticky bun and a cuppa.

We'll ride back along the northern side of the river. We can return to Gosforth either through the city centre, or via Byker Link.

If you’d like to join the ride at the southern side of the Millennium bridge at 10:31, please let me know

I've limited the ride to 8 places (me and 7 others). That's mainly for the initial section from Gosforth down to the river. So if the ride is full, please message me and I'm sure we'll sort something out.

Although most of the ride is on wagonways and cycle/shared paths, there will be some stretches of road. Remember that it's winter/spring/summer/autumn and there will be rain and snow and hail and mud and ice and sunshine!

Please be prepared to fix any mechanical issues you may have, and especially punctures (a spare inner tube is *much* better than a repair kit). That said, there will be plenty of help if you do have issues.
