What a week of mixed weather from pouring rain/flooding, blowing a gale, freezing cold to glourious sunshine and some heat. I have managed four rides this week Tuesday 17mile road, Wednesday 19mile road & 18mile offroad & Thursday 17miles offroad. The best one by far was yesterdays as there was no rain, little wind and the sun was out. The lines had dried up after the flooding on Wednesday morning but still damp in places. Below is some photos from the ride from the phone camera. It was very busy with walkers, cyclists, horse riders & dog walkers. Everyone was making the most of the sun after days of dreadful weather. I took the Beargrease out as it was still dirty from the night ride on Wednesday from Meadowfiled to Bishop Auckland and back along the flooded lines.
Enjoy and keep up the riding.
