Back to some sun, heat and black fly's on the Creo 1 gravel bike.

 


Finally got some heat and sun back in Co Durham. I was back out on the Creo 1 gravel bike for another short out n back local spin. I hoped onto the old railway line at Langley Park then straight up to the crossroads at Consett. Here I turned left and over Hownsgill viaduct and at the next two gate / farm track crossing I turned right and followed the lane all the way to the A68 where I turned and headed back. There was a strong cooling breeze but it was sunny and the Garmin was still reading 20 degrees. On the way back down I turned off onto the country back lanes around to the other side of Lanchester then back on the line to Langley Park. The lines are back to being bone dry and dusty again! Today it was not all green fly but black fly's, it is worse than ever for some reason, covered from head to toe again. There was a few others out but not too busy. 
Enjoy the few sunny snaps below and hopefully more soon-
