Saturday Morning ride out on the Fat Bikes

First day of the School Holidays and woke up to a dry morning after heavy overnight rain. The sun was trying to come out but failed so was overcast, coolish with little wind. Had a gentle ride over to Broompark to join onto the old line to Consett. Took it steady going up taking a few photos along the way and called in past Knitsley farm shop for some goodies then into the cafe for a refuel. Nearly £20 later we escaped for a faster spin back down to Broompark then home. Here a gallery of some photos from the mornings ride. We also bumped into an old friend Griff out with his brother on his old Merlin Rocklobster, its still going strong by the looks of it.
