Breeze Summer Evening Riverbanks

Thurs 8th May 2025 7pm 5 miles
Breeze Summer evening Riverbanks
Start Gala Theatre DH1 1WA

Join us for this short ride which is part of our weekly summer series of 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.

The 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.

A hybrid bike would be the best choice but any bike will be suitable - it is mainly a 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, bring a spare tube to fit your tyres and have lights in case the eve is dreary. 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 ‘message ride creator’ in the ride posting.

If you cannot make it please cancel your place using the option in let’s ride.

If there is inclement weather we may need to cancel the ride and will do so no later than 5.30pm on the day. If you have not heard from us the ride is going ahead.

We look forward to meeting you.
