Well no cycling or any form of exercise really this week. Managed a 2+ hour steady walk on Thursday also went up the docs to get all the bandages, stiches, strips etc off and cleaned up. They are happy with progress so far. My back looks like its done ten rounds with Frankie Bruno and lost! Anyway needed some gentle exercise / fresh air to clean the lungs so headed out to drive through to Bishop to park up. Me and Jane then went out and did a short steady loop. The lines were damp from the two days of continuous rain midweek but not too bad. The lines were also lovely and quiet. It started out sunny but clouded over and there was a real nip in the air. The Garmin was reading 5 degrees for most of the ride but got up to 7 to 8 near the end. The only mishap was my Garmin come off its munt when I was opening a gate and did not notice until 1/2 a mile later so had to track back but found it lying on the ground!
We also came across a couple of swimmers in the river Browney, one had a wet suit on but the other one just a swimming costume! must have been bloody freezing to say the least. Everyone to there own and they looked like they were enjoying it. Below are a few snaps of them and a short video clip.
Once back to the van we had a walk around the town centre for some shopping, breakfast in spoons, food and petrol from morrisons then down to Pound Stretcher then over to Bolmans in Sedgefield then over to Brandon to see Janes mum and dad then back home, what a day!
And a short video clip of the swimmers in the Browney
