Boxing Day Ride

Up and out early this morning just as the sun was rising, there was an early morning frost and the temperature on the Garmin dropped to minus -1.7 degrees between Langley Park and Lanchester. The lines were wet and had big puddles in places. I also had  head wind all the way from joining on the old railway line at Bearpark to Hownsgill viaduct. Once I reached Consett the temperature increased, the sun went and it started to rain so time to turn and burn on the viaduct after a few snaps. Once back down to Delves Lane the rain had stopped and the sun had come back out again. I was flying back down the line with the tail wind. No cafes open today and the lines were very busy with walkers, dog walkers, horse rides and runners. I only seen a few other cyclists. Once back at Bearpark the temperature was + 1.7 degrees!

















Time to wash two bikes and Angus's first car, hoover all the leaves out of the garden / drive and have a tidy up.
