Four old railway lines from Consett - 40 mile Gravel ride on the Creo SL

I was up in the Consett area and had the bike in my van so thought of doing this rather silly route. I parked up at Delves Lane and joined the old railway line to Lydgetts Junction. I then turned left and dropped down the line to Lanchester then back up. Turned left and went up the old line to Rowley then back down. Turned left and went down the old railway line - Derwent walk then tuned and come back up then turned left and down the old railway line to Tanfield Lea then back up again = 40.2 miles with just under 2000ft of climbing in 2hrs 55 mins. The lines were very busy with other users and was very stop / start / slow down / speed up on all four lines. The wind was strong again making it hard work but the sun was mainly out. The temperature was a lot cooler than Fridays 60 miler. Below are a few snaps from the ride inc a short video clip at the bottom, enjoy and hopefully more soon -
