It was time to sling my leg over the saddle again and try and get a few more miles in for this week. The weather does not encourage me to go out in away shape or form. I decided to go back out on the old railway lines of County Durham. I did not realise just how wet and sloppy they were. The temperature was hovering around 0 degrees which did not help either, on top of that wind gusts of 15mph just to add to the wind chill factor. I hoped onto the old railway line at Langley Park and over to Broompark junction. I decided to turn left and go over to Bishop to see the Christmas festival village they have set up in the market place area. To be honest if you don't live local it is probably not worth the travel unless you have young children. The sun did poke its head out twice on the way back but only for a few minutes each time. On the plus side there was no rain. All in just over 27 miles in 2hrs 7mins with 800ft climbing. Below are a few snaps from ride, enjoy and hopefully more soon-
