Breeze Durham Starter Ride 1 Riverbanks
Thurs 6th May 6.45pm 5 miles
Start Clayport Library DH1 1WA

Join us for our 1st of 6 summer weekly Thursday evening rides from Durham starting 6th May. Beginning with our flattest and shortest ride we’ll increase our miles and hills over the weeks to 12 miles on 10th June. Doing all the rides as a series is recommended if you’re a newcomer to cycling so you can build up confidence and stamina over the weeks while enjoying the summer evenings and good company.

This, our first ride will start from outside Clayport Library, Millennium Place DH1 1WA with a 5 mile roam along the riverbanks and passing Old Durham. It is largely off road and mainly flat. There is one short hill up part of Bent House Lane.

The ride is most suitable for hybrid bikes as it is mainly good quality riding surface.

In order for the ride to leave promptly, please be punctual so we can carry out bike checks, etc. prior to us setting off. Please make sure your bike is in working condition and bring a spare tube to fit your tyres. We should be riding for about an hour.

As always we can’t predict the weather so please dress suitably. You are better to be overdressed as you can always take layers off. It may still be glove and buff weather at the start of May.

For any queries please contact us at [email protected]. For any last minute cancellations on the day please text 07708327943 (note this phone is only for the day of the ride) otherwise use the option to cancel when you log in to letsride.co.uk. If the weather is bad we will only contact you if we are cancelling the ride and will do so no later than 5.30pm on the day. If you have not heard from us it is going ahead.

We look forward to meeting you.
