Waggonways to the coast!
This turned out longer than planned but I was determined to get to the sea!
Also my first real zip around the killing worth waggonways and hollywell Dean. Some lovely paths and tracks. Hollywell Dean is fun though the first bit has some big ol' steps - maybe swap to…

First ride since becoming a dad!
I now have a tiny person to look after so this was both short and needed!
I suspect I'll be getting out less frequently for a bit, but so nice to see the wild flowers, nature etc!

Would be rude not to! 🥵🌞
I like this little loop. Almost entirely off road and has a bit of everything. Long ol climb back up the hill was sweaty today!

Pont and dinnington figure 8
Good to get out and this is a lovely loop but just not feeling it for some reason.
Some days you feel like a god of the wind on a bike and others it's all just a bit of a slog, no matter how nice the paths.
Great to see…

That track near where Sage used to be is notorious for being a swamp!

The best gravel loop in the north?
Back to do this loop solo, it's just so nice.
Beautiful views, great track, always more up hill than you think.
Prefer this way round as well - downhill(ish) on the way back.

Quick lunch time spin
It's colder and windier out there than it looks! Didn't have enough layers! 🥶
Met a beautiful horse and the cherry trees being out makes everything better!

Guys, guys! Suns out!
My local lanes and paths but with a couple of new bits out towards wylam. Long hot climb back up from the river though!
One slow puncture but a lovely sunny meadow to sit in and swap it out, saw a deer and I'm pretty sure a red squirrel as…

Sale fell stomp
A windy trip up Sale fell - a small hill, but a strep climb and a great view.
Skiddaw looking all moody on the other side of the lake.

No chain breaks are always good! How did you miss going to the Capheaton cafe ?!? It's a bona fide classic!

A nice route for a muddy day!
It's always nice to find a good variation on well worn paths.

A cold and lovely moor!
Excellent stomp through the snow up on blanchland moor. This was a fun route and pretty much cycleable. The road up would be a particularly nice path up onto the top by bike.

Railway path for miles! loop from Lanchester
Last ride of the year! A good winter route, all tarmac or packed railway path. The hills at the start are a bit killer and I was into the wind for the way back up the valley.
This takes me to 721 miles this year!

It's not terribly nice out there!
Even when not actually raining and thermals up! Doesn't help that I've not been out for a month. Fitness seems to leave much faster than it builds!

@Duncan I beat the rain today by going out for a walk to Killingworth early this morning.

Temporary escape from handling hazardous waste in nappies then!
