We will meet at the Cafe in Riverside Park, Chester le Street and cycle up to Crossgate Moor, where we will drop down to join the 'Lanchester line' and go as far as Langley Park. Here we will head to Kaysburn and experience the lovely Charlaw Bank to take us up to our cafe stop at Broom House Farm. Once energy levels are replenished we will head through Burnhope to join the C2C at Greencroft and make the most of a downhill stretch to Pelton, before dropping down into Chester le Street and back to our start point.

We will be using a mixture of shared cycle paths and roads for this route.

Please check that your bike is in good working order before the day and bring with you a spare inner tube. Helmets are strongly recommended.
