It has been a while since I have slung my leg over the saddle but it was time to get back out n about again. It was a very simple route - out along the railway line to Bishop n back. The line was very wet and muddy with some big puddles in places. Someone has decided to remove nearly all the timber fencing at the roads crossings for some reason, probably for fire wood, who knows. There was not many out at 6.30am! so there was very little slowing down and speeding back up again. The forecast was for some lovely sun but it was overcast and cloudy for most of the outward leg but it finally come out when I reached Bishop Auckland. The temperature has dropped again, hovering around 8 to 10 degrees but no wind at all. My bike was lovely and clean but it is now covered in mud ! The polish has worked, most of the puddle spray just beads off the frame. Below are a few snaps from 19 miles with 500ft of climbing, enjoy and hopefully more soon-
