Easter Sunday Local Transmitters road ride - Pontop Pike & Burnhope.

 


Well after days of decorating and tidying up afterwards we had a day down to Darlo yesterday for a look around. Evans Cycles has opened up a new shop in the House of Fraser which is a good thing for the town. It was lovely and sunny down there but overcast and cloudy back in Durham. 
Today I was up early and decided to go out on my Creo 1 road bike. I have not been out on the local roads for ages now. I thought the roads should be a little quieter with it being Easter Sunday and most of them were. I did my local transmitter route taking in masts at Pontop Pike, Burnhope and Broom House. It was overcast, cloudy and freezing cold on the tops. The wind was not too bad but the Garmin was hovering around 4 to 6 degrees, I am still in full winter kit! Below are a few snaps from the loop, all in just under 37miles in 2hr 34mins with 2600ft of climbing, enjoy and hopefully more soon.
