Starting point

SR5 1NB

St Benedict's Hospice, Newcastle Road, SR5 1NB

PLEASE NOTE THE TIME OF THIS RIDE HAS CHANGED.  Following a risk assessment, we have decided to move the start time forwards by 30 mins to 09.30am.  This is to avoid pedestrians and bus traffic in Sunderland city centre. This is a gentle ride on a mostly flat route that will take us from the current St Benedict's Hospice at Monkwearmouth to the new build in Ryhope.  The ride will celebrate the opening of the new hospice building and will coincide with an open day. This is perfect for beginners of those that have not been out on a bike for a while. We really welcome newcomers to our rides; we will always ride at the pace of the slowest rider so no one is left behind.  We'll also stop for coffee and cakes along the way. Wearing a helmet is advisable; if you don’t have one please do not to worry you can still take part.  If you enjoy the bike ride and would like to come again perhaps you could look to buy one then.  We hope the weather will be warm, but be prepared and bring warm clothes or wear layers.  Look forward to seeing you there.
