I had planned on going out another ride yesterday, Bank holiday Monday but I woke up rough and tired. Instead I pottered around most of the day doing jobs.
Today it was forecasted for a sunrise so I was up and out after 6.30am with the Garmin reading less than four degrees. I joined on to the old railway line at Langley Park and headed straight up to Consett then Whitehall picnic area. I turned at this point and discovered I had a head wind all the way up as I was freewheeling most of the way back down. The lines were damp on the top after yesterdays rain but no big puddles. Once I was back at Langley Park I decided to head straight on to Broompark picnic area then straight on again. By the time I reached Waterhouses / Ivesley Cottages I turned and headed back. There was a few others out enjoying the early morning sun. I was over dressed for the last return leg, with the Garmin now reading nearly elven degrees. Below are a few snaps from the ride, all in 42 miles in 3hrs 9mins with 1400ft of climbing, enjoy and hopefully more soon-
