Sundays ride to South Shields on the Beargrease

Day two on the Beargrease for a ride to South Shields. It was warmer when i left the house but still chilly and very overcast but no overnight frost or ice. The wind kept off until i got to Rocker then it was a full on headwind blast until i turned in land. The ground conditions were even worse today with more overnight rain but nothing can stop the 4" Surly Nate's ! Speaking of tyres i stopped quite a few cyclists in their tracks when out today, they could not believe their own eyes, the comments are just class lol. Overall it was a good ride apart from all the brocken glass near Sunderland and the horrid headwind up the coast. Covered just over 25miles in total and below are some photos from todays ride. Going to try and get a few more rides in this week if possible and build the mileage/hours in the saddle. Hopefully geta a couple of night rides as well. Need to spend a few hours washing and fetteling a couple of bikes as well.

This is one reason why i use narrow bars

Hope there is no gales due !

Beautiful sign next to cycle lane

National Glass Centre, Sunderland

A few years ago this box was manned to stop people using the coastal path when they were using the rifle ranges
