After a short climb west we turn onto quiet roads for a short downhill section before starting to climb up to Tanfield. We will join the railway lines for a while then head on off road sections around Sunnyside and Whickham before descending into Blaydon. Using quiet roads again through Whickham thorns and onto Dunston, Ladypark and Lamesley, one more climb up to Ouston and back roads to Dobbies.
The first 9 mile is mostly uphill and there are some off road sections mostly good surfaces if a little bumpy.
Please bring layers according to the ever changing weather and plenty to drink if warm.
There will be a cafe stop but bring snacks.
Please check bikes are in good working order and a helmet is advised.
