Evans Cycles, Durham - I am sick of the rain and wind. New - The Ride Journal, Peloton

Yes Evans Cycles are opening a branch which is a good stones throw away from me at Pity Me, Durham. Its the old Topps Tiles factory unit, next door to City Plumbing Supplies and opposite Pullmans. The shop fitters have been in for a couple of weeks now but when the new curtain walling went in the other day I recognised the shade of green straight away. Well today the massive signs have gone up on the front of the unit. Not sure on when they are planning to open but looking inside don't think it will be this side of crimbo.

Well the weather has been well and truly crap up here in Co Durham with days of lashing continuous rain, gale force winds, freezing temperatures then back up to 13 degrees today and its spitting rain yet again. Then 16hrs solid heavy rain forecasted for tomorrow, more flooding again.

On the plus side I have a few new publications to keep me entertained as the house is getting a good battering -
The Ride Journal No10 - the last one - fantastic read and as always even better photos
We were up to the TOON last weekend and called into WH Smiths for a troll through the cycling mags and decided to buy Peloton, not bought a copy for a while but plenty of interesting articles in the Nov edition.
