Regular Co Durham mainly gravel loop in the gloom

 


I finished work early today so had a spin out on my original Specialized Creo 1 gravel bike. I just love riding this bike for some reason, it just seems to fit me perfect and is very comfortable in the saddle. Anyway it was a short loop taking in two of Co Durham's old railway lines and a couple of short road sections to join them up. It was lovey and quiet with hardly a sole out and about. Summer had defo gone now, leaves are changing colour and falling from the trees. There is just no heat in the air and feels cold. On the plus side the council have resurfaced the hump from Brandon towards Branscpeth and lifted up the track surface ta the bottom where it always floods with the ponds either side. Below are a couple of snaps from the ride, I call it no weather = overcast, cloudy, no wind, no heat not cold just cool . All in just over 19.5 miles with 750ft of climbing in 1hr 25mins. Enjoy and hopefully more soon-
