Another overcast but warmish/dry ride on the Dale Super X

No ride yesterday, busy at work then home to package up 12no ebay items ready for posting. It was a lovely day as well with the sun shinning but a cool wind. I have had a quick spin on my Dale Super X cx bike today taking in some of the local country back lanes and old lines to form a loop. I decided to ride it in the opposite direction to normal today as I thought the climb on the tarmac country back lane would be easier with the skinny tyres but I had a headwind nearly all the way to the top but the old girl was flying coming back down the old line off the top. Loads of dog walkers, horse riders, cyclists and walkers out and about. The lines were mainly dry as well so very little mud splatter. Snow forecast by all accounts again tomorrow so time to dig the Beargrease back out again! below are a few pics from the ride -

Time for a quick drink, 3/4 way up the climb here
