From the Wheatsheaf bridge we head west up through Stanley then turn onto quiet roads to pass Harperley (first cafe choice). On roads through Tanfield Lea and up towards Tanfield village to pass round the back of Causey Arch and up to Causey cafe (second cafe choice). From here we will pass Birkheads cafe (luckily closed for winter). Then a nice downhill and uphill stretch to High Urpeth and Ouston and back to Birtley.
The ride is mostly on quiet roads and notice there are a few ups as well as downs.
Please check bikes are in good working order.
Layer up accordingly and bring a drink and snack although we will stop at a cafe.
