There is the possibility of an Urban DH race in the Newcastle/Gateshead area. This is your opportunity to suggest possible routes. The Council have requested that we propose three routes to consider, so let me know what you'd like to see.

We need routes that will interfere with traffic as little as possible. It would also be nice if the routes were over 1min 30sec long and finished close to the quayside..

Your ideas please..

I know it's not perfect, but I'll take a look at google earth and see if there's anything that stands out.

I'd love too . I'm going to propose them but I reckon they'll say it's too dangerous because of the handrails in middle..
