My story

Join us on this 120 mile journey to raise money for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance. See our ride specific page here.

This will be the 4th time we've made the trip to Durham Cathedral.

Early evening on Friday 28th March - we meet at the York Minster at approximately 5:00pm. cycle the flat to the camp-site at Linton Locks just North of York - a gorgeous place by the river. We'll dine at the Blacksmiths Arms in Newton on Ouse; great food and beer; after pitching the tents ready for closing time!

On Saturday morning we set off for the White Horse and a hill climb up and over the Yorkshire Moors - the support car will carry our tents, equipment and a change of clothes to the campsite on the foothills at the other side of the Moors. There we'll camp in a lovely pub beer garden, enjoy another great meal and a few more beers before hitting the sack again.
Sunday morning, we'll be up early for a hearty breakfast and then set off down the bank into Middlesbrough, along to Hartlepool for lunch by the sea and then work our way inland to Durham Cathedral and the finish line!

The route is mainly traffic free - trundling through countryside, amazing views and some fabulous industrial architecture inMiddlesbrough. We'll take it easy as there's plenty of time to do it. All riders will feel exhilarated when they finish at the huge doors of the impressive Durham Cathedral.
