Short loop west of Chester le Street

This route uses a mixture of off road track, roads and cycle lanes. We want to set off at 9.45am - please arrive a few minutes earlier so we can complete introductions and bike checks first.

From the bridge over the A167, we will head up the C2C track to Annfield Plain. This is a steady climb up, but we can reward ourselves with a coffee stop at The Greenhouse before continuing our ride. (There is about 1200 feet of elevation across the whole ride).

From here we will use roads to head over to Burnhope, Holmeside, Edmonsley and Waldridge Fell before joining the A167 cycle path by the Church Mouse pub.

We will use our usual route to cut through the Riverside Park before joining the cycle lane on the A167.

Please check your bike is in good working condition before the day and bring a spare inner tube to fit your tyres. A drink and a helmet are also advised, as well as clothing appropriate for the weather conditions.

You can contact the leader(s) directly via the ‘Message Ride Creator’ tab in the ride posting on Let’s Ride.

We look forward to seeing you.

Kay and Janet
