Day off before the elections so time for a ride on the Krampgrease followed by a walk

Day off today to get ready for the elections tomorrow but time for a spin on a bike followed by a walk.
I was up and getting the Krampgease ready early morning with the sun blazing away. It was red hot already so no base layer / arm warmers today. Its been a while since I have ridden the Krampgrease so I was looking forward to it. I have forgot just how comfortable this bike is to ride and just how quick it rolls along the old smooth railway lines when you get it up to speed. The plan was to ride over to Baxters Wood over the back way to join onto the old line to Broompark then turn onto the Brandon line then drop down to Croxdale Estate, out at Bowburn then the back way down to Maiden Castle and meet up with Jane in the van at Low Shincliffe. Really enjoyed spinning a few miles on this bike and must start taking it out more often. After 18 miles Jane was waiting so got changed in to walking gear and off we set for a lovely off road loop just under 7 miles. Again it was cool in wooded sections, stiff breeze in places with the sun in and out the whole time. Below are a few pics from the ride / walk, enjoy and more soon -
