Another sunrise was forecasted for this morning so I was up and out early doors. I missed the sunrise but it was still a beautiful morning. The Garmin was hovering around 6 degrees but I planned a route so I had a tailwind going out and a headwind coming back in when the temperature was due to increase a little. I headed off over to Cox Green the "back way" as I call it. I then crossed over the river and dropped onto the C2C and headed for Sunderland. The section before the A19 was supposed to be closed for resurfacing but they have not started yet, the verges have been cut back and that's it. Talking about that its hawthorn hedge whacking again here, oh the joys. Time to top up the tubeless sealant in the tyres. There was a few others out n about enjoying the sun but not too busy. I did not feel the head wind until I dropped onto the cycle path up the side of the A167 towards home. I hate this stretch at the best of times but with a stonking headwind its a killer at the end of a ride. All in just under 26 miles in 2hrs 2mins with 2100ft of climbing. Below are a few snaps from the ride, enjoy and hopefully more soon.
