STEVE'S STAMFORDHAM LOOP 43mi

Nice easy one for regular riders above beginner level, to introduce you back in after the Xmas or if your recovering from the lurgy like me, so I've made the second half of ride downhill, after Stamfordham, so you'll only cycle 23 miles then its downhill with wind on your back, hopefully. Coffee stop at Jan's Kitchen, Ponteland (approx 30 miles)
For the safety and enjoyment of all riders please do not pass the leader unless you know the road ahead, watch you don't cross wheels or follow to close, especially downhill sections, please repeat any warnings given (bollards etc ) shout stopping if you have to stop suddenly. check your bike is roadworthy, that you are capable of the route mileage, your able to maintain average speed 13 mph for entire ride. Bring: helmet, tools, 2 tubes, waterproofs (even in good weather) and lights for your bike, also enough food and drink for hydration and energy
