Ride to Darlington

It's the return of one of our most popular rides from last year - with a slight twist on the route! Starting at Hemlington Recreation Centre, this ride goes out through Stainton village, Thornton, Maltby, Hilton, Middleton-on-Leven, Castle Levington, then down into Yarm for a comfort stop. Up through Eaglescliffe, then through the villages of Elton, Long Newton and Middleton St. George, following the new Darlington Eastern Transport Corridor into the Town Centre and a longer break. The return route comes back through Middleton St. George, Newsham & Aislaby before joining up with Yarm again and returning to Hemlington via Leven Bank.
