Durham 6th Annual Great Milk (Stout) Ride


Hamsterley Forest

Sunday 7th September 2008

Start 10.30 am (Registration from 9 am)


The Event for 2008

Once again we are fortunate to be able to hold the event at Hamsterley Forest in Teesdale.
This year the rides will have clear and easy directions for all the family. The red route will be demanding for the more intrepid and for those who want a serious challenge, we have included an exhilarating black route. The black route is for experienced cyclists only and requires a good level of fitness and technical ability : will include sustained steep climbs with ascents of over 3,000 ft as well as technical descents.

The opportunity to take a quiet and healthy walk reflects the recent upsurge in ‘walking to keep fit’. We have been inundated with requests to continue this part of the event and are only too happy to oblige.
