Breeze Summer evening Tootle to the Tithe Barn
Thurs 15th May 2025 7pm 6 miles
Start at 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.
Who knew there was a Tithe Barn in the city centre? We discovered this during lockdown and perfect for a visit on a short evening bike trip.
Our route showcases the city. We start by breezing the riverbanks to Shincliffe and back the other side to Green Lane. We’ll pass the Crown Court and discover the Tithe Barn, hidden away behind Whinney Hill. Our journey then explores some of the university site before heading across the river via Prebends Bridge and back down the Bailey, past the Cathedral and Castle to our start by the library.
We’ll be following a mix of good quality off-road paths and quiet roads. Any type of bike will do the job.
As always we can’t predict the weather so please dress suitably. You may well need gloves and a buff/snood to keep your neck warm. Please come with bike lights in case light conditions are dreary.
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. Expect to be out for about an hour and a half.
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.
For any queries ‘message ride creator’ in the ride posting.
We look forward to meeting you.
