Get Set for 2020 and a Breeze New Year
Fri 3rd Jan 2020 1.30pm 10 miles
Start Shincliffe - lay-by/old road near Betty Bees (DH1 2PF)

Pedal with us and celebrate the start of a new year of cycling. Starting from the old road near Betty Bees we’ll pedal our way to Bowburn, climbing up to Old Quarrington from where we'll take in the the views before descending back to Coxhoe and Shincliffe. Averagely hilly for Durham standards and a mix of on and off road.

The route is best for hybrid bikes due to the mix of surfaces. Please come prepared for winter weather with plenty of clothes including gloves and bring a spare inner tube for your tyres. Also make sure you’ve got front and back lights in case light conditions are poor. As the weather is unpredictable at this time of year we may alter the ride slightly if conditions are not great or go for a walk instead. If it's really treacherous we'll make any decision to cancel/amend by 11am on the morning and let you know via the conversation tab within the ride booking system and on our Breeze network Durham Facebook page.

For any last minute cancellations on the day please text 07493808927 (note this phone is only for the day of the ride and is not switched on at other times) otherwise use the option to cancel when you log in to letsride.co.uk.

In order for the ride to leave promptly, please be punctual so we can carry out bike checks, etc. prior to us setting off. Make sure your bike is in working condition and bring a spare tube to fit your tyres. We should be out for up to 2 hours but as always it is difficult to be precise about timing. There will be the option to stop for a cuppa on our return to Betty Bees.

Hope you can join us for a fun and friendly ride. If you want any more information email us at [email protected]. Audrey
