Breezing from Newburn to Newcastle Cycle Hub

Meet in Newburn Country Park car park (free parking) - just opposite Hedley's Coffee Shop. This will be a leisurely, social ride, following the cycle route along the banks of the River Tyne. We'll stop at the Cycle Hub on Newcastle Quayside for tea/coffee/goodies (bring some money if you'd like refreshments). Once we're full of cake and warmed up we'll retrace our route back along to Newburn. This ride is mainly flat with some short hills and on multi-user cycle path. We will always go at the pace of the slowest rider and never leave anyone behind. Make sure you've got plenty of layers of clothing and in particular make sure your hands and feet are warm. If the weather is particularly bad (raining heavily or high winds) we can do a much shorter ride of about 6 miles to Wylam and back with a stop at French's Cafe. Please bring a bike lock. An spare inner tube is also a good idea. Helmets are recommended but not compulsory. A sense of humour is vital. If you have any questions you can contact me at [email protected]
