Starting point

NE6 1BU

The cycle hub, newcastle quayside at the intersection of the ouse river. NE6 1BU

Starting from the cycle hub we travel east on the coast to coast cycleway to royal quays, from there we pick up national cycleways 10 travelling north picking up a waggonway after a couple of miles that takes us back to longbenton, a quick left takes us through jesmond dene, armstrong park, heaton park and our first real bit of road to cross before joining more tracks back down to the hub. Total distance is around 20 miles ( not measured, just guessed), no big climbs but the odd little uphill sections. There is nowhere to stop for a cuppa on this route so bring fluid/nibbles if you think you'll need them, also don't forget inner tubes, puncture repair tools, other specific tools your bike might need. This is not a race, i make every effort never to leave anybody behind (baring major mechanical issues) and hope to show some new tracks to those attending. I carry tools, a first aid kit and the route in my head, please consider if your bike is up to this, you are up to this and you are capable of averaging 10mph, it doesn't mean we will average 10mph but it ensures you are fit enough to manage this every so slightly technical route. I cannot be held responsible for you or your bike during this ride but am always happy to help.
