Tyne Cycles Fast CX / MTB Social

A fast paced off- road ride. Heading from North Shields through Shiremoor, Seghill, Seaton Deleval, New Hartley before returning to Tyne Cycles for a cuppa. You'll need to be able to maintain a 12-14mph average pace and have a suitable off road bike - a cyclocross, gravel bike or mountain bike. You’ll be used to varied terrain, not scared of a few tree roots or a gravel corner. We won't leave anyone behind, and will wait and regroup but expect you to be fairly fit and proficient on your bike. We will be on unlit paths and tracks. You’ll need to be kitted out for dealing with foul weather and lots of mud. Essential is a front light bright enough to light up the way ahead of you - we'd suggest at least 500 lumens, and able to run on bright beam for several hours. A cheap ebay light is unlikely to be sufficient. You should be carrying a spare front and back light, too. Please feel free to call into the shop to have a look at what we have in stock – we sell a good range. Ask us what we’ve tested and use ourselves. If you’ve got any questions please give us a ring on 0191 259 2266 or pop into the shop.
