A hot and cold ride up the old railway line on the Specialized Creo 2

 


Back out on the Creo 2 gravel for a local spin up the old railway line. I joined onto the line at Langley Park and headed towards Consett. It was mainly overcast and cloudy with a strong headwind all the way up. There was a few others out but not that many so was easier going. The lines were still mainly dry and mud free which was a bonus. It was really cold down in the Lanchester valley, less than 4 degrees but when I started climbing it was 9 degrees. Once at the crossroads I turned left and over Hownsgill viaduct and headed toward Parkhead. Once I reached the A68 I turned and headed back down again, this time with a tailwind! All in 20.5 miles in 1hr 31 mins with 750ft of climbing. Enjoy a few snaps below and hopefully more soon-
