This picturesque route, celebrating the welcome re-opening of Whorlton Bridge, takes us from our start point at Staindrop to cross the Tees River over four bridges at Barnard Castle, Eggleston Abbey, Whorlton and Winston.
The route is entirely on roads, most of which are fairly quiet, but be prepared for some traffic especially in and around Barnard Castle. The route is lumpy - there is c.1600 feet of elevation spread over the course of the ride, so nothing too awful.
We will have a cafe stop at Eppleby, which is about 25 miles into the ride, so please bring water and any snacks you need before then with you.
A cycle helmet and clothing appropriate to the weather are also needed. Please check your bike is in good working order before the day and bring one or two spare inner tubes to fit your bike's tyres.
We will message you the day before if the weather looks like the ride needs to be re-arranged. If you have any questions you can message us via this page.
We look forward to seeing you.
Janet and Kay
