Hi
I'm meeting a roadie pal in Alnmouth tomorrow and the idea is to do a 50-60 miler or so on the road bikes, including a stop for some pub grub. Does anyone have any ideas or recommendations for a good route and pub?
Many thanks
Fraser
I'd go up the coast to belford, over Bowden Doors to Chatton, past chillingham to Eglingham, over to Alnwick and back. Must be about 50 so you could extend north to Lowick/Ford if you wanted a bit more distance. There's a pub in Eglingham which is a bit posh but the food's good and they're happy to have cyclists in.
Not an especially "hardcore" ride but spectacularly beautiful and decent roads.
LS - that sounds perfect as a hardcore day wasn't planned, many thanks.
Cool, have a good one! Bowden Doors is just about my favourite place in the world.
A ride a have done a few times, got a bit of everything beach moors and fields.

Druridge bay country park ( via the cycle route nr the beach)
Aklington
Felton
Longframlington
Rothbury (turn off to go via Cragside)
Alnwick
back to Alnmouth
50 miles if you detour into Rothbury
cant really recommend anywhere to eat en route but there are loads of places.
If you're doing righog's route - highly recommend the Running Fox in Felton for food.

Is the road not still closed or can you get round another way?
