The artwork ‘C’ celebrates and creates an end point for cyclists as they finish this challenging journey.

‘C’ is a large granite monolith, which will frame Roker Lighthouse and place the end of the route firmly in Sunderland. The mirror-polished finish, reflecting surroundings and people nearby, will have star constellations etched into its surface. The work was inspired by Bede, the 8th century monk and father of modern history based in Monkwearmouth and Jarrow, who calculated the motion of the Sun and the Moon to set the date of Easter.
