After all the current heavy continuous rain I decided to keep away from anything off road for this ride. I dragged out my old Cannondale Neo Synapse, pumped up the tyres and knocked the dust off the saddle and bar tape and it was good enough for a local spin. The sun was shinning and the wind was blowing so decided to keep it local. I head over to West Rainton direction then over to Hetton Le Hole then down to Chester Le Street. The traffic was not too busy which was a bonus but what I did not realise is just how bad the local roads are with pot holes, breaking up etc. The climb up and over Moorsley sharp warmed up my legs and my lungs. As ever some drivers skills are poor to say the least, only two very close passes during the ride so not too bad! Below are a few snaps from the ride inc the route map. All in just under 28.5 miles in 1hr 50mins with just over 1500ft of climbing. Enjoy and hopefully more soon-
