It has been a while again since I have been out on the bike. The weather has finally picked up and it has stopped raining 24 hours every single day but I am not feeling the best.
I had to get out and get some fresh air through my hair as they say so I hopped onto the old railway line at Langley Park and headed for Consett. I had a massive headwind all the way up so that was not a good start. I turned at Hownsgill viaduct and started to head back down to lower ground. Yes I had the tailwind all the way back down. The lines have started drying up lovely with only one real wet section going through Lanchester woods. The new Hope RX2 brakes are bedding in nicely but I have only been out on the bike twice since getting it back. I have wound in the reach adjustment to both levers so it felt much more in control on this ride. There is loads more power now and it was worth splashing the cash!
All in 25 miles with 1200ft of climbing in 1hr 52mins. Below are a few snaps from the ride and one short video clip, enjoy and hopefully more soon-
