Durham Loop 44 miles
meet up 9:30 The Cycle Hub, Quayside. NE6 1BU
For a 09:45 prompt start.
The route is a mixture of road surfaces, mostly quiet roads, relatively flat with only 1,425ft over the entire ride, one of my easier rides, we ride out along the Tyne, south side, to Pelaw Metro Station then on to Cox Green, (the only short sharp climb) near Penshaw Monument.
Stopping on outskirts of Durham City for snack at Crook Hall Cafe, approx 25 miles out.
Returning via Birtley, on cycle paths /lanes and quiet roads.
This ride is for advanced riders above beginner level, average speed 12 mph not suitable for mountain bike tyres. do not pass the leader unless you know the road ahead, please shout back any warnings given (bollards etc )
