Overcast, cold but no gale force wind local gravel loop on Creo SL E Bike

Sorry for the shortage of blogs recently but I have been busy with the lads who have dug out 2/3rds of the front of our house and put a new drive in. I had to wait a fair while for them to land but once they landed all five of them cracked on and had it done in two and a half days. I can highly recommend Steve and his son Lee from Spring Drives. He also offers a three year guarantee. They are fully booked up for the next 9-10 weeks so you have to pre plan any works well in advance with them.
I had a massive clear up on the Monday afternoon when they had gone and back to work yesterday.
Today the forecast was for some lovely winter sunshine but by the time I managed to get out it had gone and clouded over. It was not that warm wither with the Garmin hovering around 4 to 5 degrees. It was a local mainly gravel / old railway line loop taking in Meadowfield, Broompark, Ushaw Moor, East Hedleyhope, Stanley Crook, Crook, Willington, Brancepth, Brandon. The lines are damp and muddy in places but still fast going for the middle of winter. There was quite a few others out and about as well.
Below area few cold / cloudy looking snaps, enjoy and hopefully more soon -
