Spin up the C2C old line to Consett n back

 


Yet again another glorious day here in Co Durham weather wise so I took the Creo gravel bike up the old railway line from Pelton Fell to Consett n back. A lovely simple out n back ride with very little wind today compared to yesterdays ride. The sun was out again but it felt a lot colder with the Garmin reading around 3 degrees. There was quite a bit of frost / icy sections on the line in the shaded parts. The line was lovely and quiet with not many others out n about. I also swapped my 650b wheelset for my DT Swiss 700c wheels. What a difference it makes on the smoother tarmacked sections of the line. The wheels were flying on the descent on the way back down! 
All in 22 miles in 1hr 41mins, ave 13mph with just under 900ft of climbing. Below are a few snaps from the ride, enjoy and hopefully more soon-
