After a red hot night with no breeze it was lovely to get out on the bike with a strong cooling wind for a change, the temperature was alot lower this morning and was pleasant to ride the for a change. Today we set off from Broompark Picnic area up the old railway line towards Consett. Once we reached Knitsley Farm Shop/Cafe Jane & Arran had a refreshment break. Me and Angus continued into the headwind up to the coal truck junction then along to Hownsgill Viaduct for a quick photo. You could hardly stand up as the wind was that strong so a quick u turn to head back down to Knitsley with a massive tail wind. Me & Angus had some refreshments then we all headed back to Bearpark. From here Angus turned off and rode home, we continued to Broompark. 26miles of easy riding but my legs are getting tired now, 6 days of riding without a day off, might have a rest day tomorrow or Tuesday before some more MTBing ! Below is a few photos from ride enjoy -
