An out n back ride on the Waskerley Way - C2C. Creo 1 gravel bike

 

Well we still have the heat, not as warm and the sun came back out again today along with the wind. It was a simple out n back route from Greencroft on the old C2C up the Waskerley for 10 miles then turned and headed back down again. Durham County Council have started scraping off the edges to widen the track back to its original width when they re topped it many moons ago. The plan was to resurface it with tarmac but its looks like they are not going to do that as the surface is in too good a condition! thank the lords for that. I had a head wind for most of the way up but that meant a tailwind on the way back down! I have finally managed to give my Creo 1 gravel bike a test ride after spending time re adjusting the rear gears and they are finally working near perfect. That has saved me buying a new shifter and or rear mech. Not sure whether to fit the new chain, cassette and chainring now or just run it into ground as they say and replace at that point. There was quite a few others out n about so it was very stop / start ride, not too worry at least I got a ride in. Below are a few snaps from the ride, enjoy and hopefully more soon- 

All degreased, oiled and adjusted and now indexing perfectly
