Evening Breeze to Brandon and Holywell

Merryoaks Community Centre, Park House Rd DH1 3QF

Join us for this short relaxing evening ride from Durham, along quiet roads, old railway line and cycle paths.

We’ll head out along a short road section to the Brandon Bishop railway path at Langley Moor to Brandon. From here we’ll freewheel down the Scripton Gill Road to follow the scenic bridleway underneath the Croxdale Viaduct to the River Wear at Sunderland Bridge. There’s a climb back up to the Cock of the North from where we’ll weave our way back to Merryoaks.

The ride is most suitable for hybrid bikes as it is a mix of surfaces and largely away from traffic.

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, bring a spare tube to fit your tyres and have lights in case the eve is dreary. We should be riding for about an hour and a half and there will be the option to stop for a cuppa/drink once back.

If you book a place and cannot make it please cancel your place.

For any queries ‘message ride creator’ in the ride posting.

We look forward to meeting you.
