No riding at the weekend but I managed another 5k run on Saturday morning along the old railway line from the bottom of Moorsely bank towards Hetton n back. It has been a while since I have been along this stretch of track and the County Durham side to the Sunderland boundary has nearly gone. Some parts are down to a foot wide and covered in leaves and mud. Once you cross the boundary the Sunderland side is a lot wider and less muddy. Anyway I did it in 37mins 55 seconds.
Back out on the bike again taking the old railway line from Langley Park up to Consett then straight on towards Blackhill for a short loop through Consett Park etc and back to crossroads. From there it was straight back down the line to Langley Park. There was quite a few others out enjoying the dry weather so was very stop / start ride in both directions. The sun did come out now and then and warmed the air up a little. I had my Northwave Artic winter mtb boots on so no cold feet and my new Assos winter tights again, too warm! I did not notice but I had a tailwind on the way out so that meant a headwind back down. The tracks were mainly dry with a few damp muddy sections. Enjoy and hopefully more soon -
