START: Dobbies Garden Centre at 9:30am
Our ride takes us to South Shields and will include a visit to the Arbeia Fort (No entry fee) and to the Ray Lonsdale sculpture 'Forgotten Army'.
Due to the changeable weather, our cafe stop will be The Haven Leisure Centre situated in North Marine Park. If weather permits, there are picnic benches outside, if you want to take your own lunch. The cafe offers Bacon/Sausage sandwiches. Soup, Toasties and Jacket Potatoes.
Our lunch stop will be after our visit to Arebia Fort, so please take a snack to keep you going
Our ride takes in part of the Bowes railway line and part of the C2C track. Please note, the tracks could be muddy with large puddles.
For all our rides we do strongly recommend you wear a helmet and you carry 2 spare inner tubes that fit your bike. We also recommend that you consider the weather conditions and dress appropriately.
