A route around Durham City exploring the newly installed cycle infrastructure and some existing routes, starting and finishing at County Hall

From County Hall, we travel north on cyclepath to Rotary Way near the Arnison Centre, from there we will travel on cycle path through Newton Hall to Crook Hall and then on cycle network route through Durham City and up through Gilesgate and the new road at Dragonville. From here we will descend to Old Durham Gardens and ride along the riverbanks to where we will once again point north and follow the cycle path back to County Hall.

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 2 hours.
