Very nice well run event.
The grounds of Newby Hall are beautiful.
The run is 2 laps of 5k, very nice run, all bar 800m on closed roads and farm track, and the road section is through a very quiet village.
The cycle is part single track tarmac and main road. The roads where quiet but that’s due to the 8 am start! The route was well signed.
All in all, good event.
They are doing a Tri there too on the 17th June.

Beat my target time and was miles from last, so good result for me!

plan is to ride out to button bank and have a go at how fast we can get up it (those of you who follow the facebook page will already be aware) certainly just a bit of fun and something we will replicate sporadically so you're racing yourself, not others. Even if you dont want to time/race up it its a good bank to do some reps (we will cycle it gently first to make sure everyone is familiar and warmed up) or tehre are a number of short hilly loops to try.

sounds like some people will be joining us to get back to durham promptly and make time for the chester le street swim session, others may choose to ride further and get some hills in since its the theme of the day - leaders welcome to speak up.

NB I'm not offering a timing service so bring a watch/bike speedo with timer and a pinch of honesty ;o) . if well attended we can organise something formal for future visits with a more elaborate system and make it all formal n that.

hope to see you there]]> Sparky_Marc Latest News Wed, 22 Feb 2012 11:05:32 +0000 http://www.durhamtri.org/Forum/read.php?4,379,379#msg-379 http://www.durhamtri.org/Forum/read.php?4,379,379#msg-379
Just a reminder that the Sunday Cycle meets at the Lodge on the A167 near to the Bearpark turning at 10am.

Unfortunately I won't be there this week but if you meet up have fun cycling.

This week, hopefully no snow, I will be looking at doing a 3 hr ride which could be shortened to suit anyone not wanting to be out for so long, I'm open to suggestions for the ride.

So we meet at the Lodge at 10 am, which is on the A167 near the Bearpark turning.

I hope to see you there.

This week I will be going out for a 2 hour ride and I'm open to ideas about a route.

I hope to see you there.

no promises need to me be made (until you actually enter a race with someone!), just thought it could be a place for a good coming-together for people...

With the weather starting to turn colder the Sunday Cycle will start at 10am instead of 9am until the springtime.

This week I am aiming to go out for a 2 hr+ undulating ride at a steady pace and maybe some faster bits.

We meet at the Lodge on the A167 near to the turning to Bearpark at !0am


See you there.

Also wondering who's up for a night out in Notts after. I've booked the premier inn (london road) btw. The on site place didn't get many good reviews and love them or loath them i always find them ok and more importantly don't tend to have wedding and birthdays etc that keep you awake all night as happened before Edinburgh Marathon among other events.

Last week I headed out over the hills towards Satley for a two & a half hour ride.

This week I'm proposing is a 26 mile loop through Waldridge, Edmondsley, Holmside, Maiden Law, Greencroft and back a more familiar route ending up though Bearpark.

We meet as usual at the Lodge on the A167 near to the Bearpark turning at 9am.

I hope to see you there.

Does anyone fancy an off road cycle next week along the old railway tracks start from Broompark and heading towards Langley Park? If so, let me know.

This week we meet as usual at the Lodge at 9am, which is on the A167 near the Bearpark turning.

There was a good turnout for the first winter duathlon last week and this week we will be meeting as usual at the Lodge on the A167 near to the Bearpark turning at 9am.

I will be doing a two hour ride heading over towards Shincliffe and beyond.

I hope to see you there.

This week is the return of the winter club duathlon so there will be no planned cycle.

However, I hope to see everyone at High Shincliffe for the duathlon, remember you can enter online.

A bit later than usual, this weekend several members will be running marathons, most for the first time, so good luck to you all. I will be attempting one and most likely walking most of it.

The Sunday Cycle will meet as usual from the Lodge on the A167, near to the Bearpark turning, at 9am.

Have fun folks.

The weather's been good this week so lets hope it ok for Sunday. I'm unable to be there until after the Kielder marathon next month, whether I can do it is another matter, it is likely to turn into a very long walk for me.

Anyone who fancies meeting for a cycle, we meet at the Lodge which is on the A167 near to the Bearpark turning at 9am,

Have fun.

It looks like the gales are gone so the Sunday cycle will meet at the usual place the Lodge which is on the A167 near the Bearpark turning at 9am, I'm not suggesting a
route bacause I most likely won't be there.

But the weather looks promising.so get out and meet at the Lodge.

Have fun.

Last week Steve Lindsay and myself headed through Quebec, Butsfield and did a loop over the other side of the A68 before sprinting along the road by Hedleyhope with three other stray cyclists and then headed back, great weather and good fun.

This week I'm unable to meet as I need to put in a 18/20 mile run but please meet at the Lodge on the A167 at the usual time 9am and remember to cheer me on if you pass me.

Last week we headed to the coast on a blustery cycle through Seaham and stopping in a favourite cafe on the front.

This week I'm thinking about covering part of the Beast route unless anyone has any other ideas.

This Sunday is the Club's Away-day Race at Stockton and as a result there are likely to be few takers for the Sunday Cycle, if you do still fancy meeting up to cycle with others then meet at the Lodge at 9am on the A167 near to the turning to Bearpark but numbers cannot be guaranteed.

Have fun

Just a reminder that Butterwick Hospice will be running their annual ride to raise funds on Sunday 25th September starting at Elm Tree Social Club, Bishopton Lane, Stockton-on-Tees. The ride starts at 10.30am and is 25 miles of easy undulating road for a fast or easy ride.

Two years ago, a group of club members rode down from the Lodge, with Neil's great directions, in time to enrole and start. So how about it this year! It's a very worthy cause and it would be good to have club support.

Last week we did two loops, one over the hills beyond Cornsay and then a second loop over the old C-le-S timetrial route through Leamside.

This week I'm proposing a shorter ride through Satley up the hill to Butsfield across to Knitsley a faster return to Lanchester, up Maiden Law across to Burnhope and back.This could be extended or shortened to suit all abilities.

I hope to see you all.

Last week seven of us headed out through Butsfield to the A68 and crossing over at Rowley to take a quiet back route to the Derwent Reservoir, the guys decided to head back whilst Roz and myself circuited the reservoir then foolishly decided to take a different route back with two long winding roads with 20% hills.

This week I'm planning to go out by 7.30 but I will still meet up at the Lodge at 9am.If anyone would like an earlier start let me know.

Any suggestions for routes would be welcome!

Last week several people braved the wet weather and headed for the hills, I'm not sure where to??? as I couldn't join them.

This week I am looking to do a loop around Derwent Reservoir which will be about 52 miles although this could be cut shorter to suit.

We meet at the lodge at 9am near to the Bearpark turning on the A167.

This week the ride is heading towards the hills, I will be doing a three hour + ride unless it is tipping it down ( forecast looks a bit dubious at the moment)
