Routes

As most of the people come from around Consett, the training routes naturally have a Consett bias. Other routes, including the much dreamed about Houghton to Hartlepool and back route may be added in the future. The training routes shown here have a large map on each page so please be patient while the file loads.

Other Cycle Routes

A series of excellent up to date (as at 2008) cycle maps have been produced by the councils in the region. These maps detail cycle friendly routes from North Tyneside right down to Durham and are available for free by emailing your local council (See links from North Tyneside Council)

If you're interested in other cycle routes in Durham, the council provide some very nice free Cycle Maps for Durham North (From the Tyne down to Peterlee, Consett over to Seaham), Durham South (Peterlee down to Stockton, Bishop Auckland to Hartlepool) and Durham West (Tow Law down to Barnard Castle, Eggleston over to Bishop Auckland).
