October 29 Regular ride - route notes

[Robert Abraham]

Comrades!

For the ride this coming Saturday, I have two routes available. The shorter route is designed to avoid the climbing loop up through Hidden Meadows. It consists of a circuit that will climb Jesmond Dene twice. Those wishing to make their ride even shorter can do it once, or those wishing for a longer ride but want to avoid the climb up Mountain Meadows can feel free to repeat the circuit to rack up the desired mileage. The section of the route that forms the circuit is 3.5 miles long with 260' of elevation gain (so says RwGPS). It climbs North on Jesmond Dene, returns South on Center City, then a left onto Ivy Dell to put riders back on Jesmond Dene.
