Well after heavy rain all night and most of Wednesday afternoon the sun finally came out today and it was lovely to see instead of overcast cloud. I had a few hours to spare so decided to have a ride along the lines to try and keep reasonably free of mud! I decided to head up the C2C line / Waskerley to Park Head cafe, turn and burn then straight back down. It started off canny but by the time i got near the moors i could feel the wind and what a headwind it was. The last 6 mile of the 15mile out leg was a full on head busting slog and too top it off they had just laid a new subbase surface on the last 3miles to the cafe and it was like riding through glue. The cafe was closed when i got up there so had a quick drink and straight back down again. Still cool at times but for a change it was hotter at the top than it was at Consett and further down the line. As in the post below its was time to put on the winter boots so my feet were not cold or wet this time.
