Stamfordham - Matfen Loop

This is the perfect ride if you want to go a little further afield, but lack confidence when cycling on the road. This is a 9 mile ride on quiet roads and country lanes. It's a gently undulating route through pretty Northumberland countryside and villages. Starting from Stamfordham, we'll cycle along to Matfen calling in at the coffee shop there for refreshments (bring some money if you'd like tea/coffee/cake) before looping back round to Stamfordham. If the weather is bad we can take a more direct route to Matfen and back which is only 6 miles. At this time of year fingers and toes get cold very quickly so make sure you've got good socks and gloves. Layers of clothing are a good idea. We also recommend a helmet, but they're not compulsory. A spare inner tube and a bike lock are also handy. This will be a leisurely, social ride. We always go at the pace of the slowest rider and never leave anyone behind. Newcomers to Breeze rides are especially welcome. You can contact me at [email protected] if you need any further details
