CITY Exploro Newcastle, UK

The perfect combo of pavement and dirt (and maybe mud?) along the Tyne river and beyond

Text by Paul Errington , photos by Paul Errington - 26 June 2019

City: Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK
Bike: EXPLORO
KM: 58km
Hours: 2:45
Best time of the day: Early morning 
Best period of the year: All year … just be prepared for a little mud in winter
Elevation: 640m
Route: https://www.komoot.com/tour/65445421

 

Starting from the heart of the city this route showcases how easy you can escape the urban environment.

Heading out along the River Tyne the route is initially gently undulating.  However, soon you must do a series of climbs to reach a neighboring valley before you can start to ride back.

Around two-thirds of the way around this loop take the opportunity to enjoy Pedalling Squares Café, award-winning for its food and décor this should not be missed.


This route is perfect for gravel bikes, a mix of road and off-road, all quiet and mostly traffic free … the culmination of many years of exploring.
