For a short ride, SB to the ponds at Greenside and return about 1.5 hours. If you go all the way into Stanley on the C2C make that 2 hours. For a full marathon (26 miles) down the Derwent Walk to Swalwell/Metro Centre and back. Cheers Jim |

For some beginner-friendly routes around Shotley Bridge, you might want to explore the Derwent Walk Country Park—it's relatively flat and scenic, perfect for building endurance without too many challenging hills. You can also consider riding along the River Derwent path, which offers gentle terrain and nice views. Start with short rides and gradually increase your professional assignment writing websites at linkedin time as you feel more comfortable. Enjoy the journey back into cycling! |
