Joined: 05 Jun 2010 Posts: 9 Bike: | How about we all get together for a ride. We could all meet at wingate as it seems to be the common place for all of us. I would suggest the Fir Tree Car Park and then we could join the old railway line from there to get to Wynyard and Hartlepool. Also may I suggest travelling the opposite direction towards sunderland as it has a few more hills to test you. What is everyones thoughts? |

Joined: 05 Jun 2010 Posts: 9 Bike: | hello all, A friend of mine and I are going for a ride on Sunday morning heading towards Hartlepool. Wingate Fir Tree is a good idea for a meeting point as it is somewhere in the middle of peoples routes and it is easy to find without being very far from the cycle network. Let me know what you think and who fancies attending. I suggest 9am. Andy |

So if your oraginising something post it on here, and i will try and join you. I wont be able to make this Sunday as Im laying off the bike on Sunday as I start the coast to coast on Monday morning. :-) |

Joined: 05 Jun 2010 Posts: 9 Bike: | Marvelous, mixed group is great, the more the merrier from my perspective. It all sounds like a plan. Wingate 9am (Fir Tree) if you can make it. Otherwise if you see a group of cyclists and your heading to meet people just stop and ask someone. See people there. Good luck on the coast to coast. What route are you taking? I will be doing it the first weekend in July. Cant wait. |

Joined: 24 Apr 2010 Posts: 4 Bike: | Hi Sorry I haven't been on cycle route to see if there were anymore replies. Haven't received any emails from cycle route. It's really good to hear that there are other people wanting to meet up and cycle. Can I just say I'm over 40 and do cycle at my own pace but I'm not a snail normally cycle every other week from Wingate to Hartlepool or to Thorpe Thewles. Cycled the other weekend from Hounds Gill Waskerly Way to the little cafe at the top good job it was all downhill on the way back. Please let me know if you are going out to cycle and I'll meet up if you think I can keep up. Have emailed Aly but no reply. |

Joined: 28 Sep 2009 Posts: 26 Bike: My Profile | Hello. I met up with the others and we had a wet mucky ride down to thorpe thewles... We seemed to get on quite well but split up without any other arrangements (it was'nt the weather to hang about). I think the boy's...Andy and Mal are doing the c2c shortly and i recieved an email from Aly saying that she was away this nxt week but would contact the group through the cycle forum when she got back..I will not be out for a couple of weeks as i need a minor opp but should'nt be out of action too long... Hope that you manage to meet up with the little group.. They seem a nice bunch...PS I wouldnt worry about being 40 I'm 54 and we just went easy..:-) |

Joined: 19 Jun 2010 Posts: 4 Bike: | Hi there, I have been reading your Forum and looks as though it's exactly what I'm looking for. My wife rides with me occasionally but I am looking for something more challenging.( no disrespect to her) I ride a road bike (Paganini) and mountain bike (Ridgeback)but am enjoying being on the Mountain bike at the mo. I would love to join anyone who is interested for a ride next weekend.I can travel by car to meet, so starting point not a problem. ( I live in Sunderland).Look forward to hearing from anyone interested. PS I'm 50 (just) but consider myself reasonably fit ish :-),, so like the idea of going at a steady pace! |
