Tyne Riverside Country Park - Cafe @ Prudhoe Riverside

Have you spent the summer pottering up and down the Wagonway between Prudhoe and Newburn? Are you ready for something a bit more challenging? Then this is the ride for you. We'll start by walking across Ovingham Bridge and start our ride on the Ovingham side of the river. The first 3 miles are fairly flat, following a quiet country road along the banks of the River Tyne. Once we get to Stocksfield the ride becomes more hilly and a bit of a challenge as we climb up to Wheelbirks Ice Cream Parlour. http://www.wheelbirks.co.uk/home The biggest challenge will be deciding what flavour ice cream you're going to choose or perhaps hot chocolate and cake (bring some money if you'd like refreshments). Then it's downhill all the way (nearly!) back along to Prudhoe. Don't worry if you have a fear of hills. We can take it very slowly and we'll always go at the pace of the slowest. We can always have a walk if we need a breather. Keep an eye on the weather forecast and come prepared. If you have walm feet, hands and ears you can keep cycling whatever the weather!
