Join Cycling Tynedale for a stewarded ride: 26.5km (16.5 miles) around Tynedale
Join Rob and Deborah of Cycling Tynedale to do a circuit of about 16 miles (26km) around Chollerton, Humshaugh, Fourstones and Warden. They have long experience leading rides and they never leave a rider behind. You get a 'well done' if you get up a hill, and feel safe as they've pre-thought and risk-assessed the route. Ideal if you like riding and want to ride with a group. Adults only, bring your own bike and helmet. See the route here
Sunday 13th October, 10am at Cafe Enna, Tyne Green. Sunday 19th October, same time, same place.
