Last night i dropped the kids off for the CX training at Hetton Lyons then i went out for a ride. The weather was alot better this week with lovely clear skies and no rain. I got away 10 minutes earlier and the the sun was just going down when i was 1/2 way through my first loop. What a lovely evening it was but the temperature soon dropped after sunset and drakness feel. On my last loop i turned on my lights but there was still clearish skies as you will see in the photos below. That was the last week at Hetton and back to Meadowfield next Wednesday for more night riding! Todays ride was back on the Krampgrease but without my lights. The miles are raking up on the new girl now and im just loving it. Apart from changing the grips the build is still the same as day one and running perfect. The XX1 has not dropped a beat and i cannot fault it, worth every penny. Anyway back to todays ride it was an out out back along the Bearpark to Consett line which is bone dry again but still a good old headwind for most of the ride out, flew back though. Below are some photos from the rides. Im away to sort out a box of prizes for the One Peak of Hetton this Sunday - more info soon.  |
