Northumberland niceness
Saturday 31st July 2021 - 40 miles
9:30am from Kirkley cafe, near Kirkley Hall (just outside of Ponteland)

Ride description:
40 mies on the quiet roads and lanes of beautiful Northumberland. There will be a cafe stop included at the half-way point, where there will be the opportunity to buy lunch.
A couple of hills, but the pace will be sociable.
Expect to be out for about 6-7hrs in total.

Please bring a spare inner tube to fit your tyres (check the valve type too!) and/or a puncture repair kit. The leaders can help you fix a puncture, but only if you have the right size inner tube for your bike or a puncture repair kit!

Housekeeping:
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 PRIOR to arriving for the ride.
Helmets are not mandatory, but are strongly advised.

If the weather is poor, we will only contact you if we are cancelling the ride and will do so by putting a message in the ‘conversation’ tab in the ride. You should receive a notification by email if there is a message. If you have not heard from us we are still riding.

Places on rides are very limited, so if you book on this ride and then find you have to cancel, please do so as soon as you can so that your place is available to someone else.
