Early morning ride on the Litespeed

Todays ride was an early one on the road. I was up and out before 6am so it was cold, dark and very misty in places. I could not believe how many cars are on the roads at 6am on a Saturday morning! It was that dark & foggy i had two lights on the front - Lupine Tesla 5 and USE Flash on blinking mode
and Smart R2 led on the back as normal. Some of the country back lanes were creapy in the pitch black and fog to the door as you can see in the photo to the right. It was daylight by the time i reached Durham City Centre on the way back home. 29 miles and few good climbs chucked in, alittle further than i wanted to go back in time for a wash & change into warm clothing and off to Christmas fair @ New College Durham followed by a trip down to Durham. The kids did the cx race on the old race course and i went out for a 2 1/2hr walk around the river banks etc. I was well shattered by tea time! more road training tomorrow. More soon -
