Washington to Durham Adventure!

This is a long ride aimed at those who are keen to achieve some distance on their bike. The ride will start at Washington Arts Centre at 10am and we will cycle up the C2C track passing though Birtley, Chester-le Street, Beamish until we reach Anfield Plain. There is a Tesco Supermarket  where we can have a short toilet break. We will then cut off the cycle track to cycle downhill into Lanchester. We will then join a cycle track towards Neville's Cross and onto Chester Park.  We will stop for refreshments and a toilet break at the park before heading back to Washington back along the C2C.  Feel free to bring along food for your picnic. Alternatively you could buy some food at Tesco or the cafe in Chester Park. Please ensure that you eat enough food and drink enough water to keep you going throughout the ride as it is approx 35 miles and we will be out for approx 4 hours.  I’m hoping that the sun will be shining but you are advised to bring a water proof jacket in case it rains.  Please also make sure that you carry a spare tyre in case we need to carry out some bicycle maintenance along the route.  There is a car park at the Arts Centre where you can leave your car (if you are brining you bike by car to the start point).  I have done this route a few times and it is one of my favourites. i will guarentee that you will want to do it again!
