We are cycling the Strategic Cycle Routes (SCRs). This year’s dates are listed below. All dates have been set for Saturdays, and we hope you can join us. We will meet at Civic Centre, Ceremonial Way, at 10:00am. Each tour should not take longer than three hours. Join us for all or parts of it, or meet us afterwards for a coffee.
Please email us newcastle.cycling.campaign@gmail.com if you are coming so that we get an idea about numbers before the ride.
14 June – SCR 4 – Gosforth
12 July – SCR 1 – Newburn
9 August – SCR 6 – Benfield
13 September – SCR 7 – Walker
We’ve also had a look at which wards the Strategic Cycle Routes run through and will invite councillors to join us on the day.
Newcastle City Council promises to create these sections of the Strategic Cycle Routes in the next two years (status summer 2013):
The ten-year plan is to create the full set of all seven Strategic Cycle Routes:
Information on the remaining three SCRs West Denton, Great Park and Longbenton is here. We hope to scout these next year.
