Riverside & Woodland
Sunday 4th Sept 2022
12:30pm from Hedley’s coffee shop at Newburn (near the Big Lamp brewery/Keelman pub)
14 miles

Ride description:
We’ll mostly follow traffic-free tree-lined tracks along riverside and through Derwent Walk County Park.
The pace will be an easygoing sociable pace. The route is mostly flat but does have a gentle incline of a couple of miles.
We'll stop for a cuppa at Lank of Oak and Iron.
The route is mostly suited to hybrid/gravel/mountain bikes, but road bikes will cope.
With a stop for a cuppa, expect to be out for about 2.5-3hrs in total.

Please make sure your bike is in working condition PRIOR to arriving for the ride and bring a spare inner tube to fit your tyres (check the valve type too!) and/or a puncture repair kit. The leaders can help you fix a puncture, but only if you have the right size inner tube for your bike or a puncture repair kit!
Whilst we welcome any bike type, we have zero knowledge of e-bikes, so if you are riding an e-bike, please come prepared to independently sort out any mechanicals that you may have.

Helmets are not mandatory, but are strongly advised.

If the weather is poor, we will only contact you if we are cancelling the ride and will do so by putting a message in the ‘conversation’ tab in the ride. You should receive a notification by email if there is a message. If you have not heard from us we are still riding.

If you book on this ride and then find you have to cancel, please do so as soon as you can so that your place is available to someone else.

By registering to participate in the ride, you agree that photographic images of you or containing you, may be used by the organiser, sponsors or promoters of the ride for publicity purposes

We look forward to seeing you.
