The Gathering - Summer Ride and BBQ

Wheelbase North East would like to invite you to a professionally guided mountain bike ride and BBQ in the awesome Hamsterley Forest, County Durham.

With three rides planned for a steady tootle, a fun challenge or a serious test. All rides will head out from Danny Hart’s Descend Bike Park, Hamsterley to tackle the surrounding forest and moorland.

On your return you’ll be treated to a fully catered professional BBQ from the guys at Oakhouse Grill, plus liquid nectar from Darlington based Rocket Town Brewery.

Route 1: Beginners – steady

Approx. 10 miles

A mix of fire road and smooth running single track, a great way to do some non-technical miles in a lovely part of the world.

Route 2: Intermediate - best suited to a more confident active rider

Approx.15 miles

Work that suspension and build up a proper appetite for the BBQ. Some testing climbs and challenging technical bits.

Route 3: Expert - suited seasoned experienced riders, or those that race Enduro

Approx. 25 miles

You think you’re pretty good huh? Well this route will demand some real skills and fitness. Expect serious climbs, super techie lines and a swift pace.

Tickets £20.00 and include guided ride, beer, BBQ and a goodie bag
