Pootle to Prudhoe

Pootle to Prudhoe
Sunday 1st May - 11 miles
Expect to be out for a couple of hrs in total
(there is an option to do 17 miles by joining us earlier on the route, which adds 3 miles on to the beginning and end of the route - send a message to ride creator for details of earlier start)

Ride description:
Beginning at Newburn, we'll use the recently upgraded shared-use path (fresh tarmac - bliss!) to reach Wylam. From there, we'll continue along the tree-lined path to reach Prudhoe riverside, where we'll loop back on ourselves and re-trace out wheel tracks back to the start point.
A flat, easygoing ride on tree lined tracks... Entirely traffic free.
There will be an opportunity to get a brew at the coffee shop at the end of the ride.

Please make sure your bike is in working condition PRIOR to arriving for the ride and 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!
Whilst we welcome any bike type, we have zero knowledge of e-bikes, so if you are riding an e-bike, please come prepared to independently sort out any mechanicals that you may have.

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.

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.

PHOTOGRAPHY - The organiser of the ride may take photographs or videos of the ride and riders for publicity purposes. By registering to participate in the ride, you agree that photographic images of you or containing you, may be used by the organiser, sponsors or promoters of the ride for publicity purposes

We look forward to seeing you.
