Saturday morning spin through to Bishop n back on the old lines

Forecast was dry so decided to have a spin along the old railways to Bishop Auckland and back. The heavy overnight rain formed more bigger puddles and muddy sections through the wooded sections. There was a canny headwind all the way through as well as odd spots of rain but sunny spells now and then. Once at Bishop we did some banking, then shopping including the pie shop next to Infinity Cycles then to the café for a cuppa and bacon buttie. On the way back it was slightly warmer and a tailwind so was a lot easier going. Lines were busy with cyclists inc a few riders we knew. Angus took the Cannondale Slate Apex, I was on my Mason Bokeh and Jane on her Scott Contessa carbon scale, no probs. Once back home it was shower, wash the bikes and cycle kit in the washer time! Below are some pics of the ride and hopefully more soon -
