On Sunday 2nd July 2017 Newcastle will be hosting the HSBC City Ride.
The ride takes place in Newcastle City Centre and will be traffic free on closed roads and is for everyone.
Whether you’re 8 or 80, regardless of your ability, all you need is a bicycle or tandem or tricycle. In fact any wheeled contraption powered by you! Oh and it’s free!
SPACE for Gosforth folks are going to meet up at the War Memorial at 10:30am in Gosforth Central Park and then head off to join the Let’s Ride event, cycling around Newcastle on closed roads for the day.
This is the route we’ll be taking. Which as far as possible we’ve tried to keep on quieter roads.
Please note that our ride from Gosforth to Exhibition park won’t be on closed roads and we’re not having Ride Leaders or Marshals – riders take part at their own risk and children under 16 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. We have registered our ride as a “Ride Social” on British Cycling’s Let’s Ride page – click here for the link to the “Ride Social” Terms and Conditions.
The Newcastle City Ride
The Newcastle City Ride is on closed roads and there will be a number of activities for you and your family and friends to take part in. The City Ride starts at 11:00am but you can arrive at any time during the day
You can find more information and registration on the ride here – and it’s free!
It would be brilliant for everyone to meet up and head in together. See you there!
Does this run down both sides of the pedestrianised section of Northumberland St? Presumably fenced off but maybe not a good day to go shopping! Hope everyone has a good day and the expected change in the weather occurs and holds.
