Starting from outside B&Q at Morton Park, this ride takes us in a south-easterly direction, heading out through Middleton St George and Middleton One Row, through Aislaby and Yarm, then heading up through Kirklevington and following the country lanes to East Routon for our stopover at Roots Farm Shop & Cafe. The return ride brings us back through Appleton Wiske, Hornby, Girsby and Low Dinsdale, riding through Neasham before making our way back to B&Q via Firthmoor.

This ride is classed as a CHALLENGING ride which is around 33 miles (a little over 15 miles each way). The ride is undulating with some small hill climbs. The ride is almost all on the road or cycleways – all bike types are suitable. It is suitable for riders who are comfortable sustaining around 10mph avg. and can continually cycle for around 2 hours each way. The stopover is usually around 1 hour.
