Finally a sunrise first thing so I was up and out well before 6am for a fresh ride from Annfield Plain up the old railway line / C2C to Waskerley. There was a freezing cold stiff wind and the Garmin dipped to 5.5 degrees. Just as well I opted for nearly full winter kit today. It was nice to see the sun before midday for a change. The rain over night has dampened down the dust on the line but the wind and sun was soon drying it back out again. Hardly seen a sole at that time of morning up there, just sheep. Yesterday I had a bit of a clean up / sorting day. I washed and cleaned out one of our cars then washed both my Creo 1 & 2 gravel bikes and both sets of spare wheels. I have left the 29x2.2" wheels on my Creo 2 and swapped over onto 700x43c Gravelking wheels on my Creo 1. What a difference these wheels make on this bike, it flies along, especially if you have a good tailwind! I also tweaked some brake rub and super glued some torn bar tape back down. All in 26.5 miles in 1hr 59mins with 1000ft of climbing. Below are some snaps from the out n back, enjoy and hopefully more soon inc some Fresh Goodies!
