This ride is really designed for novices, we are confident that most people can manage this route if you prepare properly (see Training Plan links below). We hope you’ll enjoy it so much that you’ll become a regular on the roads in future!
The route starts in Wylam, heads out through Ovingham to Bywell along flat roads. Crossing Bywell Bridge we head up towards New Ridley and Hindley before turning back towards Stocksfield. The loop finishes by returning over Bywell Bridge to Ovingham and back to Wylam. This is a route that anyone with even modest fitness can do on pretty much any kind of bike! There will be a feed station at the Jubilee Field in Wylam.
