We have been away the last couple of days enjoying some lovely Autumn sun in North Yorkshire. We stopped over at Thirsk and called in past Stokesley, Helmsley on the way down and Northallerton on the way back up.
Today it was forecast for a beautiful sunrise and warm temperatures. I was out before the sunrise time but there was no rise, just overcast and cloudy. It was not warm either with the Garmin reading zero degrees. I had on most of my winter kit but for some daft reason I did not put on my Northwave Artic winter boots. The sun did come out at Stanley Crook where the temperature shot up to over 4 degrees. On the way back down to Crook it was freezing again. There was a few others out and about early but not too many. The sun also disappeared with three miles from home. I was not feeling the best today, nothing in my legs and I felt tired and my back is still sore. I plugged away and managed 25.25 miles in 2 hours with just under 1500ft of climbing. Below are a few snaps from the ride, enjoy and hopefully more soon inc a Assos Fresh Goodies Blog!
