Ride home from Spennymoor the long way on the Creo 2

 

Time to get back out on the bike again for another spin to ramp the mileage up for the week. The weather is back to normal today as I call it. Overcast, cloudy, cold and yet another headwind on the way back home. We did some food shopping at Spenny and I rode home via Bishop Auckland using the old railway lines. I am back in full winter kit again as the temperature was around 4 degrees on the Garmin but felt colder in the strong headwind. There was a few others out n about but not many. My legs are still feeling tired into the headwind and on the hills. Not too worry I got 20 miles in in 1hr 30mins with 850ft of climbing. Below are a few snaps from the ride, enjoy and hopefully more soon- 

Spin up the old railway line to Fawcett Park & Hownsgill viaduct in the sun

 

Another day and wall to wall sunshine again. It may look warm in the photos but we are the second coldest place in the UK again today in Co Durham. I am back out on my Creo 2 gravel bike and have removed the rear mudguard! The lines are bone dry, rock hard and dusty which means fast going under the tyre. I hoped onto the old railway line at Langley Park and headed up to Consett then over to Fawcett park where I turned and headed back down. I had a tail wind on the way up which meant a colder headwind all the way back down. No where near hard going as yesterdays headwind but still a tug in places. Loads of others out n about near the villages but quieter in between. Below are a few snaps from the ride, enjoy and hopefully more soon- 

The new cafe has opened up next to the E Bike shop and was very busy! 

Sunny but very windy ride in Weardale to Cowshill / Killhope.

Well what a few days of glorious sunshine, cool'ish temperatures, overnight frosts and the bloody wind again. Todays route was up in Weardale, Co Durham. It was an out n back ride to Cowshill / Killhope. The ride out was on the quiet country back lanes but on the return leg I was on the A689 back to Stanhope with a huge 25+mph headwind for 13 miles. There was no escaping the wind apart from the last couple of miles to Frosterley from Stanhope as I decided to turn back off the main road. I took the Cannondale Synapse Neo and had no problems. Not like my legs as they felt hollow for the whole ride. I was over dressed on the way out with the tailwind and just right on the way back with the wind chill factor. Below is a few sunny snaps, 27 miles with 1700ft of climbing, enjoy and hopefully more soon-
