I'll soon be moving to the North East (after several years in Sweden). I'm looking at renting a place in Ovington and wondering whether it's possible to commute by bike into central Newcastle.
I saw that Hadrian's Cycleway covers most of the route but is it possible to commute along it at a reasonable pace? Supposedly it's 15 miles and, asssuming I could do 15mph, that's a 1 hr commute. That would be fine. But as I've got no experience of the route (surface conditions, traffic, obstacles) it's hard to judge what's possible.
A bit of local knowledge would be great.
Thanks
