After yesterdays near 12 hours of continuous heavy rain / localised flooding I did not find riding along the old railway lines very attractive this morning. So I dug out my Creo 1 road bike, pumped up the tyres and checked the battery. Doh forgot to charge it from the last ride! I plugged it in and gave it 45 minutes and added my range extender for an extra 50%. Off I set in the overcast cloud and mist but it was warm with the Garmin reading over 16 degrees. The sun started to burn through then it clouded over then the sun come back out again. I did one of my local road loops called the "Transmitters" as I pass three local transmitters - Pontop Pike, Burnhope and the one at Broom House. The roads were mainly lovely and quiet and not too wet, must have dried out during the night. All in 30 miles on the nose with 2000ft of climbing in 2hrs 7mins. Below are a few snaps, enjoy and hopefully more soon -
