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…

Beautiful Walla crag
A lovely walk up and over Walla crag. Defo do it this way round as the views are wonderful. Pasties in keswick before wandering back along the lake

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!

Nice little figure of 8.
Enjoyed this one. Tracks up by Pont are excellent. Lost tracking before the end.

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!

Figure of 8 stopped by footpaths closed!
Quick new route round familiar paths. The main path through the havannah reserve is very closed. So had to re route and double back.

Up over the moors and down through the woods! Whitley chapel and slaley forest
This was fun, wet, a slog and a delight.
Long climb up to some great views, rough rocky tracks.
Lovely autumn weather to start then very menacing clouds rolled in, only got a bit rained on.
Rougher tracks then I anticipated for pretty much the whole route and the tracks…
