Sky Ride Local in Middlesbrough

Get out and explore the countryside with the brand new rural off-road routes from Sky Ride Local.  Off-road Ride Steady is mostly traffic free rural bike riding for the family and novice cyclist.  There is barely a metre of tarmac in sight on these rides so come and enjoy the scrunch of gravel and the squelch of mud under your tyres with us!

Come join us on this scenic ride through Guisborough Forest.  This circular route takes in all the sights, sounds and smells of Guisborough Forest while riding on the fire roads throughout.  At just over 8 miles this is the perfect way to stretch your legs and explore the forest with your family, friends and mother nature!

Location and Route

Meet the Ride Leaders

• Chris Orr Hello,
  
  I'm one of the latest additions to the Sky ride leader group for the area so have a lot of catching up to do!
  That said, I am not new to cycling and have been interested in cycling all my life. I work as Cycling Officer for Middlesbrough Council, so my love of bikes has spilled over into my day job. Love mountain biking, but also commute to work via bike, so innevitably end up riding nearly every day in some way or shape.
  Hope to see you all on a ride at some time,
  
  Thanks
  Chris
• Christine Lewis I'm a woman in my forties with a love of cycling. Family life revolves around cycling holidays and competitions and I tend to cycle socially a couple of times a week with friends. I have got such a lot out of cycling in the last few years that I wanted to get involved in encouraging others to do the same. I thoroughly enjoyed being a Sky Ride Leader in 2011 and am looking forward to 2012.
