Adult guided ride and bike maintenance workshop

We're teaming up with Durham County Council and Recyke y'Bike to offer a free guided ride through the Durham City Green Corridor and basic bike mechanic workshop.

  • Booking essential
  • Free event

Recyke y'Bike will be hosting a free guided ride from Crook Hall Gardens towards Maiden Castle and back. It will be mainly on cycle lanes, with a limited amount of road cycling.

They will also be running a basic bike maintenance session during the ride, allowing you to understand more abut your bike and how to keep it in tip top condition.

Please book in advance via the link. Riders need to bring their own bike and helmet. We also recommend you bring some water and a snack. Recyke y'Bike will send out the ride route prior to the event. This ride will be 6-10 miles and is therefore not suitable for young riders.
