Local gravel ride on the rebuilt Pilgrims

Well it has stopped raining today so time for a spin out on the newly rebuilt Bowman Pilgrims with a new Ultegra 11 speed groupset. It took some getting used to using normal sti levers again instead of the Di2 buttons. The gear change is slow compared to the Di2 but just as smooth. The rear mech is spot on but the front mech needs a fine tune, adjust the angle of the sti levers as well and re bleed the back brake and its sorted.
The spare parts for the Norco are on there way so fingers crossed I will be out on that this coming weekend for a spin.
Back to todays route and it was mainly on the Brandon to Bishop Auckland line then crossed over onto the Bishop to Spennymoor line with a few linking tarmac sections between. The sun came out a couple of times but mainly overcast but warmer than the last three days. A few people out and about but not many. Only seen another three cyclists the whole time.
A few pics below from ride, enjoy and more soon -
