Tynemouth tinsel... (includes the cycle tunnel)

Tynemouth tinsel (including the cycle tunnel)
10am - 25 miles
Expect to be out for about 4hrs

We leave the Cycle Hub and head over the iconic Millennium bridge to the south side of the river. Following a cycle track to Jarrow, we will go through the recently refurbished historic Tyne Pedestrian and Cycle tunnel.
Obligatory photos complete, we will then ride to Tynemouth, where we will have the opportunity to grab a takeaway coffee (and have a wee!), before heading back to the Cycle Hub on the north side of the river.
Although the pace will be steady, this route is not flat.
As the weather is changeable at this time of year, you will need to consider your visibility and bring front and rear lights.
The route is suitable for all bike types.

In order for the ride to leave promptly, please be punctual so we can carry out bike checks, etc. prior to us setting off. Please make sure your bike is in working condition and bring a spare tube to fit your tyres. Helmets are not mandatory, but are strongly advised.
PHOTOGRAPHY - The organiser of the ride may take photographs or videos of the ride and riders for publicity purposes. By registering to participate in the ride, you agree that photographic images of you or containing you, may be used by the organiser, sponsors or promoters of the ride for publicity purposes


If the weather is poor, we will only contact you if we are cancelling the ride and will do so by putting a message in the ‘conversation’ tab in the ride. You should receive a notification by email if there is a message. If you have not heard from us we are still riding.

Places on rides are very limited, so if you book on this ride and then find you have to cancel, please do so as soon as you can so that your place is available to someone else.

COVID-19
We will be taking this into account with our ride leading and we will follow govt. guidelines. Please note the following:
• We will not share any equipment so please be organised and bring your own items eg drink, spare inner tube, tyre levers and pump, sun cream and hand sanitiser.
• You should pay particular attention to your bike being in good working order before attending a ride so as to minimise risks and disruption to rides.
• We will ride taking social distancing into account. At the time of writing British Cycling recommend riding 2m apart.
• Participants must not attend a ride if they have COVID-19 symptoms or have been in contact with anyone with symptoms
• Anyone who develops COVID-19 symptoms during a ride must inform a leader.
• Anyone who develops COVID symptoms after a ride must contact the leader who will inform British Cycling HQ who will then contact everyone who attended the ride.
You can contact the leader directly via the ‘Message Ride Creator’ tab in the ride posting on Let’s Ride.

Look forward to seeing you.
