Through Birtley then a short climb to the new bridge over the A1 and onwards to Eighton Banks. Onto the monkton cycleway to Jarrow to join cycle lanes through South Shields to the sea front. At Marsden we turn in and head along Lizard Lane for a cafe stop. Then make our way back through Whitburn, Boldon and Washington.
There are a couple of climbs on this ride and a stretch on a fairly busy road.
Please bring layers, a snack and check bikes are in good working order.
If the weather is bad this ride may be altered or postponed. We will let you know as early as we can if this happens.
