Heading out from Lyme Valley Stadium, this 13 mile route heads south out of Newcastle towards Hargreaves Wood before turning east and heading out to Keele. There is a natural stopping point after you have conquered the small climb up 3 mile lane to reach Keele. The route is then downhill back to the Velodrome making it ideal for anyone wanting to stretch their legs and get out of town.
