| 1. Spennymoor to Shildon via Kirk Merrington and Leasingthorne then up Brusselton Bank before crossing the A68 and heading down the roman road to Piercebridge then along the A67 through Gainford to Barnard Castle then back along the A688 through Staindrop and West Auckland to Spennymoor. A couple of good climbs and nice fast descents (straight and not too scary) |
