Local off road ride on the Beast of 'N' East

Change of bike for todays ride - Cannondale Beast of the East for a quick spin down to Durham for a loop then back home for a walk.
Just where has this good weather come from? don't worry its back to normal at the weekend for the Bishop Auckland Food Festival so make the most of it tomorrow. There was no chilling wind this morning which made it feel even warmer but it came back late in the afternoon. The Garmin was reading 21 degrees at some points in the direct sunlight. Durham's river banks etc were packed with people enjoying the good weather, don't blame them just like I enjoyed the ride.
The new Rocket Ron 27.5"+ tyres were flying on the gravel tracks / tarmac lanes. I didn't venture too much off road into the woods etc as the mud is still very wet / deep.
Below are a few pics so enjoy the sun and hopefully more soon -
