Starting point

NE6 1BU

The Cycle Hub, Quayside, Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear NE6 1BU

This ride will start and finish at the wonderful Cycle Hub on Newcastle Quayside. Following National Cycle routes we will cycle along the North side of the Tyne, via the Quayside, to Newburn. After a cuppa and cake stop, we will cross the River Tyne and return on the South Side of the river and cross the Millennium Bridge back to the Quayside and onto the Cycle Hub. We have a choice of places to stop and have a cuppa and a cake - we can decide where would like to stop on the day. The route is fairly flat, so nothing to worry about. There are sections of the ride on roads, but these roads are fairly quiet. Newcomers are welcome and we will ride at a leisurely pace and no-one is left behind. The route is suitable for all types of bikes (as long as it is roadworthy!). Please check the weather forecast on the day and wear appropriate clothing for the ride. We advise you to wear a helmet and also bring with you a bike lock and any money should you require a drink when we stop.
