It was a long over due ride up the old railway line (C2C) towards the Parkhead cafe. It started off overcast then the sun came out but the wind was on the strong side to say the least, 25+ mph gusts. I was hoping to get all the way up to the cafe but I gave up after the car park at St Matthews Church, Waskerley. It is the first time I have rode the full length of the new motorway tarmac section. God help us all when it snows, half melts and becomes a solid sheet of polished ice. There was a few others out but not that many. For some reason all the none cyclists were walking, running etc right in the middle of the track, not too worry my brakes are scrubbed back in again. On the way back down I decided to take in a small road section loop up to Pontop Pike transmitter. There are a few short video clips at the bottom of the blog as well. All in 28 miles with 1500ft of climbing. Enjoy a few photos below from the ride and hopefully more soon-
