Group 1 - left from the Widdy Inn on a local 23 mile loop through Ashington heading to Newbiggin. We had a new member join us too! Stopping on the Bertorelli’s for coffee and sweet treats. A tour of the coast through Lynemouth and Cresswell heading home topped off a brilliant ride!

Group 2 and - set off from Pegswood and later merged with…

Group 2.5 - set off from the Widdy community centre on a fabulous 52 mile route over to Capheaton. The tea rooms was aglow with orange and pink wheelers, all mingling together. A sight to behold when you can get multiple groups able to meet up at a cafe big enough to hold us all!

Group 3 - departed from Widdy community centre to Capheaton on a 62 mile route to meet everyone at the tea rooms.
Nice to have the wind blowing everyone home after a brutal head wind on the way out! 💨

Group 4 - departed from Widdy community centre to Capheaton on a 62 mile route to meet everyone at the tea rooms at a much faster pace. It’s great to be able to offer a wide range of group speeds and distances for all to enjoy!

We had a chain gang group 3/4 group who set off for a training lap and a group of 12 riders who set off for a group ride and began chain gang training led expertly by ride leaders Darren and Mark.

Northumberland hosts Round One of new North East Road Race Series

27/05/2026

Wheelers’ Weekly roundup!

🌞 🚲 🥳
What a weekend for cycling in the North East 🚴‍♂️🔥
As our founder Mark was the named organiser we are incredibly proud that, with the support of Muckle CC, Reifen Racing and NE1 Performance, we helped bring regional road racing back to the North East with a bang.
A few wheelers rode over to Kirkley to watch the road race and cheer on our race team of: Morgan, Isaac, Mark B, Oz and Russ who all did the club and themselves proud in an unbelievably strong race.

To see full fields, strong racing, brilliant support from volunteers and clubs coming together for the good of the sport was genuinely special. It just shows what can be achieved when people are passionate about rebuilding grassroots cycling in the region.
A huge thank you to every rider, marshal, volunteer, driver, commissaire and supporter who helped make it happen from our club. The day wouldn’t have happened without you all and your support.

Please give the page a follow for future updates and events 👉 [NE Road Race Series]
The North East road racing scene is alive again 💙🚴‍♂️

A few wheelers set off for solo rides over the last week too, keeping the cafes going while many wheelers were supporting/riding/helping with the road race!

One to raise particular attention to was member Gillian, who completed (for the 2nd time!) the Genoa shipping ride 2026! What an achievement! 🎉

🚴🚴‍♀️On Monday, two groups of daytime drifters ventured out on a 32 mile loop stopping at The Old School Gallery, Alnmouth. The weather was absolutely stunning and was certainly perfect beer garden weather when we got back to base! 🌞

Wednesday evening saw the first evening club ride of 2026 which saw 16 wheelers come out for a local loop around Widdrington ✅

What a club. You all make it so special. Thankyou all 🩷💙🧡🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️
