From the Wheatsheaf bridge we head east along the C2C towards the coast. Will this be our last summer ride to the seaside? We'll stop on the way to take a peek at the Tufa - a little known Sunderland landmark. Then we'll head to the seafront for a cuppa and snacks and maybe ice cream?
We'll then head up to cross the Wear Bridge to cycle back to Birtley along the tracks on the south side of the river, crossing again at Cox Green before joining the C2C to Birtley.
A steady ride is mostly on quiet roads with a short stretch on a busier road.
Although we have a planned stop please bring drinks and snacks as required, particularly if the weather is hot.
Please check bikes are in good working order and bring tools and a spare inner tube.
Helmets are advisable for Breeze rides.
