Local loop down to Durham / Maiden Castle on the Cube E mtb

 


What a weekend we have had, never stopped. Saturday we has a spin through to Dalton Park for some food shopping at Morrisons then for a walk around the retail side. After that it was a full loop of the park land inc the climb right up to the top where we once did a cx race. Then it was over to Seaham for a walk round shops / sea front. 
Yesterday we had a spin up to the toon for a walk around the quayside market, that was disappointing compared to the last time we were there then a walk around the shops. Both days we covered over 12000 steps each day. 
Today the sun was out early again and so was I. Overnight frost and the Garmin was reading 0.7 degrees so a nippy one! It was my usual down to Durham, around Maiden Castle, The Trod and back home via Frankland loop - 14 miles on the Cube e mtb. I was feeling rough with empty legs so was hard going but nice to get out. I was 3 miles or so away from home and it started clouding over and it turned real cold in the headwind. The tracks and trails were lovely and quiet with hardly a sole kicking around. I climbed nearly 700ft in the 1hr 10 mins. Below are a few photos from the ride, enjoy and hopefully more soon-
