Lambton Worm down to Sunderland Glass Centre n back on the Creo 2

 

With rain overnight the tracks n trails were damp under tyre on the C2C from the Lambton Worm at South Pelaw down to Sunderland. The sun was in and out but did not feel that warm. The ride down was easy enough as I had a massive tailwind nearly all the way. Once down at Sunderland I stopped and had a break at the Glass Centre which is now closed. On the return leg I now had the strong wind straight into my face so it was head down and arse up. The C2C was lovely and quiet all the way down but a lot busier through Washington to Birtley on the way back up. All in just over 24 miles in 1hr 55mins with nearly a 1000ft of climbing, enjoy the snaps below and hopefully more soon- 

Steady sunny spin from Meadowfield back home the long way.

Back out on the bike yesterday for a short steady spin back home from Meadowfield where I dropped my ca off for an mot. It was lovely and sunny and warm as well but a very strong wind but mainly either on my side or rear. The tracks n trails were lovely and quiet with only a few others out n about. I am still on my original Creo 2 with the 2.2" tyres for the mo and still taking it steady. The off road sections have started to soften up inc some mud and puddles from the recent heavy rain storms but not too bad. Below are a few snaps from 18.5mile route 1hr 20mins with 850ft of climbing, enjoy and hopefully more soon-
