Hi All,

I have just bought my first bike and am looking for some good trails and routes to try starting in and around the North Tyneside Area. I live in shiremoor/backworth currently so any starting there would be even better as I have just moved to this part of the north east and only used my bike to get to work and back I don't know much!

I have just bought a Specialized Crosstrail Sport 2014 MTB so any routes to suit this would be great!

Thanks for reading and I look forward to hearing from you all soon!

Hi Kristo,
Visit http://www.sustrans.org.uk/ncn/map/route/330334,172254,3 type in your home town and it will show all the Sustrans routes in your area. Some of these will be offroad and some will be road. You can also use http://www.bike-and-hike-route.com which also shows cycle routes, you can plan routes and it seems the cycle preference favours cyclepaths and quiet roads. It also can show route profiles which allows you to avoid steep hills until your legs are up to them.

Hope this helps

Chris.
