Well that's the last of the Bank holiday weekends over with for another year As normal the weather was not great, overcast and cloudy with a couple of rain showers. We had a walk down to the Classic motor show in Durham. It was quite busy but they could have had loads more cars / vehicles there. We also had a walk up and down Silver street, what a complete and utter shit hole, worse than North road and that takes some beating. Durham County Council should be ashamed on themselves for letting it go like this. We had a cuppa and cake in the coffee shop at Cathedral, there prices have shot up!
Anyway todays ride was back in the sunshine but still cool, around 12 degrees. I think Durham has had its summer now and looking at the forecast from this Friday its 10 days of solid wall to wall rain. Anyway back to todays ride I was up in Consett so thought I would have a ride up to Parkhead n back but my legs were not feeling it so turned left at the junction and head down to Langley Park instead. It easy going downhill but once I turned at 10 miles it all up for the return leg. I kept my head down never stopped once , apart for traffic at road crossing. I was only 29 seconds slower coming back! All in 20 miles on the nose with 800ft of climbing. Below are a few snaps from the ride, enjoy and hopefully more soon -
