Gibside Loop

Join us on some amazing rides, created in association with our friends at the National Trust. Make the most of some beautiful countryside, and great facilities for cyclists. You don’t have to be the next Bradley Wiggins, but you’ll need to know your way around a bike and be fairly fit to take part in our Challenging rides. If you’re comfortable riding with other people and fancy a fresh challenge, these rides are perfect for you. They start at around twenty miles long, and are paced at between 11 and 12 miles an hour. This route follows NCN route 72 along the beautiful Newcastle Quayside to Newburn with many fantastic views along the way. The route climbs across to the Derwent valley passing through the picturesque village of Ryton before visiting Gibside for coffee. The route back is down the Derwent valley to pick up Route 14 and back along the Gateshead Quayside with many spectacular views and crossing the famous Gateshead Millenium Bridge before returning to the Cycle Hub for a well earned cuppa and cake!
