Last ride of the month to get me over my 300 mile target. It was red hot and sunny from the off but a little cooler in the shaded stretches along the old railway lines. I hoped onto the old line at Langley Park then along to Broompark. I turned left here and along to Bishop Auckland. The lines are still bone dry, dusty and rock hard so easy going. I had a headwind all the way through which was pulling on my tired legs from yesterday's 50 miler. Once I reached Bishop Auckland I was a little early for Fifteas tea rooms to open so did a loop around the town then I was the first one in the cafe. As normal I had a sausage sandwich before heading back to Langley Park. Half way back it clouded over and the temperature dropped from 26 down to 22 degrees. I also had a tailwind and it felt like I had new legs! I was not planning on going to far but it was 30 miles on the nose with 1000ft of climbing in 2hrs 17mins. Below are a few few snaps from the ride, enjoy and hopefully more soon-
