This is a ride in 2 parts - the ride for Murdered Women will be a 5km ride starting in Herrington Park at 1.
The ride for murdered women was started by Jean Hatchet in 2017 and is now organised across the country on the same day and time. In County Durham we are supporting our friends at Wearside Women in Need who are cycling in remembrance of Kay Richardson, who was killed by her husband in Sunderland in September 2018. Further details can be found here:

I will be cycling from Durham, setting off at 10am from County Hall, cycling through Sacriston and Chester-Le-Street, across the River Wear to Bournmoor and up to Herrington, we will stop at Penshaw Tea Rooms for lunch before joining the #Rideformurderedwomen in the park at 1.
Following the ride, we will return to Durham via Fence Houses and West Rainton before climbing Cocken Bank back to Brasside and County Hall.
The mileage is @28 miles so expect to get back to Durham by 3.30pm

The ride for Kay is organised by Wearside Women in Need and there is the opportunity to donate towards services which support women experiencing domestic abuse. Further information can be found here: https://www.gofundme.com/ride-for-murdered-women
