Local road ride taking in Moorsley climb

 


I decided to go out on my Creo 1 road bike after a lazy start to the day after a rather stressful day yesterday. I decided to leave it until after the rush hour for the traffic to die down a little and the sun come back out which was a bonus. It was a local road ride heading over to Lumley, West Rainton, Pittington's, Moorsley, Hetton Le Hole, Fence houses, Chester Le Street and back home. The roads were not too buy but I had a complete idiots of drivers who both nearly knocked me off. These were the two closets shaves I have had for a very long time and puts me off from going out on the roads. Not too worry apart from that the roads are in a terrible condition especially over in the Sunderland district side of the route. Today I dressed up with more and thicker layers on the top as there was a biting cold strong wind. Below are a few snaps from the ride, all in 28.5miles in 1hr 53mins with 1650ft of climbing. Enjoy and hopefully more soon-
