S****horpe! Would you believe it?! I went to college there.
I live in Newcastle now, where you'd be very welcome. Much better riding round here. Happy to lend you my 19" rigid steel plus bike: you'd feel much more at home on that while I ride my full-sus talent substitute right? (Seriously though, we'd sort you out with whatever - email in profile)
Edit: your people need to be speaking to these guys: http://www.pedallingsquarescafe.com/ (don't worry, they're not all roadies)

Didn't know there was a college in S****horpe!
Of course there is! Tuts.
I might go to that gig.
Keswick, or Cockermouth as a destination?. that would easily sell out, and plenty of riding to be had.
Californian coming to UK
And going to Scumthorpe?. My heart just sank.

Arriving at Gatwick on 11th July. Speaking at Look Mum No Hands on 13th.
Welcome! Have fun mate.
shout if you make it to Newcastle, would be a pleasure to meet you. Excellent riding to be had in Northumberland.

Tried a couple of shops in Newcastle, no response. Would like to go there, but I need a reason that pays me something. I'm told the Cycle Hub would be a good spot for us, but they don't answer their mail.
Hi Charlie give http://www.tomlinsonsrothbury.co.uk/ a try although it is predominately a roadie based stop.
Sounds like you're missing the South West out?

Pedalling Squares are Newcastle, which is what prompted me to post.
Also [url= http://www.thecyclehub.org/ ]http://www.thecyclehub.org/[/url] in Newcastle.
Edit: sorry, I see you've tried them already!
Sorry to hear Newcastle is slacking.
Couple of other places that might be worth a try, but both charities, so may be reluctant to pay:

And a shop:

Likewise if you're in Newcastle I will come along ... if I am in there at the time that is. If you'd like bike friendly accommodations out towards the better riding let me know too, I am sure I can sort you out.

So, how was it?
nice one 😀
repack rider if you visit the uk again avebury is much better than stonehenge imho. for one it is free to visit and you can get right up to the stones.
*nothing against stonehenge i must add but they do milk people for money there.
there is also the ridgeway that is a stone age road that goes for 85 miles that has some nice offroad cycling that is right by avebury and you can also ride on the marlbrough downs which have some nice trails also. i would recommend a sunny day though as the ground is chalk so very gloopy when wet.
