Paperback. Gravel Rides Northumberland showcases 15 of the best gravel bike rides across North East England. From 10 to 104 kilometres in length and covering a variety of terrain, there is something for every gravel cyclist. From the gentle beauty of the Reiver Trails and South Tyne Trail to the wild uplands of Kielder and the Cheviots, Gravel Rides Northumberland captures the region's full variety. Riders can enjoy peaceful commons, hidden forests and rolling valleys, with everything from easy lowland spins to remote and challenging routes through the most dramatic and rewarding landscapes of Northumberland and the North Pennines. Researched, ridden and written by local author Jordan Matthews, the routes feature clear and easy-to-use Ordnance Survey maps; easy-to-follow directions; details of distance, timings and difficulty gradings; stunning action photography; refreshment stops and local knowledge; and a detailed appendix. Also included is a link to downloadable GPX files. AUTHOR: Jordan Matthews has been riding and racing bikes in the North East all his life. He has devised hundreds of routes in the region, and has become something of an expert in gravel cycling in Northumberland and the North Pennines. There aren't many roads, bridleways or tracks he hasn't ridden in the area. He has worked in the bike industry since he was 16, as a bike builder in a shop, a mechanic at Recyke y'Bike, a cycling charity, and then for an adaptive cycling charity, working with people with disabilities. In 2024, Jordan worked with a gravel cycling events company as events manager for the north of England and Scotland, organising and running over 20 events. Jordan is currently Cycling UK's Cycling Development Officer for the North East region, working to get more people on their bikes through the Big Bike Revival and Community Cycling Club programmes. In 2026, Jordan will take over the route coordination roles for the Sandstone Way and Reivers Off-Road route from Ted Liddle. His writing has appeared in Cycle magazine and he contributed routes and advice to Huw Hennessy's book Cycling in Northumbria (Bradt, 2023). Gravel Rides Northumberland is his first book.
