Friday night pedal away to the Tithe Barn and University sculptures

Join us for this short ride around Durham City when we’ll discover some of Durhams’s best kept secrets - its Tithe Barn round the back of the prison and various sculptures around the university campus.

We start by pedalling the riverbanks to Shincliffe and back to Green Lane. We’ll pass the Crown Court and discover the Tithe Barn, hidden away behind Whinney Hill. Our journey then explores some of the university site before heading across the river via Prebends Bridge and back down the Bailey, past the Cathedral and Castle to our start by the library.

We’ll be following a mix of good quality off-road paths and quiet roads. Any type of bike will do the job.

As always we can’t predict the weather so please dress suitably. You may well need gloves and a buff/snood to keep your neck warm. Please come with bike lights in case light conditions are dreary.

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 two hours.

For any queries please use the option to ‘Message Ride Creator’. If you book and later can’t make it please cancel your place so we know for sure who to expect on the day. For any last minute cancellations on the day please also add a note in the ride Conversation before cancelling so increasing its chance of being seen and so we know who we are expecting.

Look forward to seeing you.
