Tyne Cycles Off-Road Social - Gosforth Park

Route details still being refined, but we'll head from the shop out through Backworth and Gosforth Park for 20-25 miles mostly off-road on tracks, cycle paths, trails etc. Average pace 10-12 miles per hour. We averaged just shy of 11 miles an hour last time. If you're not sure if this is the right first ride for you to join please call into the shop for a chat or give us a call/email. We'll not leave anyone behind, and will have a mechanic along, but please have a plan to get home, just in case. This is a guided social ride, but you're responsible for your own bike, safety and well-being so please prepare accordingly. Please check your bike well in advance of the day of the ride! We can help give you advice on repairs, but not five minutes before we set off please! Tubes and sundries can be purchased before the ride. Suitable for cyclocross, hybrid and mountainbikes. No road bikes please. Dress for changeable weather, and please bring spare inner tubes, puncture repair kit, water, a set of lights and a snack, if you'll need one. There's no cafe stop on this ride but we'll provide a cuppa back at the shop at the end.
