Del's Run
|
Sun 11th Sept |
Del's Run |
| A
160 mile run from the main meet-up at Kirkby Stephen, on the borders
between Cumbria and Teesdale, via Middleton in
Teesdale from where a small loop is made to the east via Wolsingham and
West Auckland, back past Middleton in Tees and then on to Alston before
turning south for the run through Melmerby to Penrith, and then the
famous Shap run down to Devil's Bridge.
A great collection of superb biking roads, through some spectacular and beautiful countryside taking a close look at some of the lesser known biking pleasures of the north. There will be an early meet-up at Skipton for those travelling from the south. |
