Breeze Durham Starter Ride Heavenly Hallgarth
Thurs 28th July 2022 6.45pm 12 miles
Start Clayport Library DH1 1WA
Join us for this short ride which is part of our weekly summer series
Thursday evening starter rides in the Durham area during May, June and July. These rides are suitable for those new or returning to cycling to build up confidence and stamina over the weeks, while enjoying the summer evenings and good company.
During May we’ll cover the flattest and shortest routes and as the weeks go by the miles and hills (can’t be avoided around Durham) will increase.
Doing as many of the rides as possible is recommended to reap the greatest benefits.
This ride takes us to the very special St Lawrence Church, nestled away to the south of Pittington.
We’ll be heading east via the riverbanks and Old Durham, up to Dragonville, Sherburn and our destination Pittington. We’ll be on a mix of off-road and minor roads so is most suitable for hybrid bikes.
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 and there will be the option to stop for a cuppa/drink once back in town.
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 on an evening in June.
