The Great North Bike Ride takes you from Seahouses, a designated area of outstanding natural beauty, along the beautiful North Northumberland coastline to Tynemouth Priory and Castle. Established in 2000, the ride supports the Chris Lucas Trust in memory of Chris who died age 18 of rhabdomyosarcoma. Money raised from the event funds medical research into this form of cancer.
