We had a ride down to Durhma for a night ride and had to call in past a couple of banks so had a quick look at the lights this year. It was Durham's Christmas Lights Turn on yesterday but we didnt go to the event. As ever they get smaller and less of them each year. The plastic tree in the market place is dreadful and as you can see in the photo only the lights at the bottom are working! The suspended curtain of lights over the market place is impressive and way better than most of the Lumiere lights lol. Talking of the Lumiere looks like that was the last one for Durham. Back to the ride itself it was freezing cold for the whole ride and we hit minus -2 on the garmin but was dry and clear night. The tracks are still muddy but drying up alittle now in places. I had a mechanical on my Pompino on the way back, there was a plastic mud flap on the front mudguard many years ago but it snapped off. The remains on the plastic tucked up against the tyre with mud and jammed up the wheel. 10mins of trying to clear it and adjust the guard in the pitch black and freezing cold was enough for me so we took a short cut and headed straight home for some repair work.  |
