We have family doen from the wee Highlands so only had a hour or so spare early morning so it was an up and out 7am ride. Weather was warmer today and the sun was out with no wind. Still lovely and cool/shaded in the wood sections which are also drying out nicely now. The ride was all local in and around the Durham area and did 17miles of pure fun on the Carbon Beargrease. Its nice to be back on the full fat 4" tyres again but i did get a rear puncture - thorn. Below are a few photos from the ride, enjoy -  |
| Ponds drying out @ the nature reserve |
 |
| Council have finally cut back the verges, this track was down to less than a foot wide last week |
 |
| This one was over 6ft during the winter months |
 |
| Rivers running low at the moment |
 |
| Under the old viaduct |
 |
| Now this is a steep short climb, cannot really show the ture gradient in the photo |
 |
| Down the steps and onto the flowing singletrack sections |
 |
| Flying through the bomb hole until! |
 |
| I came to top on the other side and found this fallen tree with a section cut out and a dirt ramp in front, i got the shock of my life |
 |
| Over a foot drop off on the other side |
 |
| Baths bridge - plenty of rowers out today |
