Hope you all had a good time over the festive period. As for me well I caught the bug that most people have been bad with. Been to the doc's and on tablets and today is the first day my body left like it could do anything more physical than walking a couple of miles on the flat!
So I waited until after sunrise and headed out along the old railway from Langley Park to Broompark, then I turned left and and ended up at Bishop Auckland. The vast majority of the line was frozen solid after the temperature dropped through the night and with previous two days of heavy rain. It was mainly lovely and quiet with just a few others out and about enjoying some sunshine for a change. The Garmin never got above minus -1.5 degrees for the whole ride. I had plenty of layers on so was not feeling the cold. The wind was making it feel even colder on the way back. All in 22.5miles in 1hr 57mins with 750ft of climbing. Below are a few sold looking snaps from the ride, enjoy and hopefully more soon-
