Local road ride around the hills of Tow Law way

Angus is not working today so he had a ride through to meet up with me for a local road ride around the country lanes / quiet back roads. We didn't take many photos as we were either climbing hills, head down on the flat section with a tail wind or trying to get away for the dark clouds. At one point the temperature hit 24 degrees on one climb but on the way back in dropped to 17 degrees and went very dark. So dark the cars had there headlights on. We managed to escape the heavy showers and had a cracking ride. Legs felt it on the road through Deerness Valley but kept chugging away. Angus had nearly 3500ft of climbing recorded on his garmin, that is why my legs were feeling it. Wish I had took the Nano but I was expecting wet roads, dry as bone.
Westys box landed with the Surly Dirt Wizard's 29x3.0" and Panaracer Gravelking's 700c x 28c. More on them soon, well when I get a few spare mins to open them up and sniff the rubber!
