Another frosty and sunny winters ride

Another hard overnight frost making it a beautiful sunny winters day. When I fired the van up this morning it was -3 degrees at 6.30am. When out on the bike even though the sun was out it never got above 0 degrees by a long way. The ground was frozen which made it easy going for the out n back route along the old railway line to Bishop. On the way out I got a rear puncture just coming out of Willington, quick change of tubes in the sun shine and the offending piece of sharp plastic pipe! removed from the tyre and the job was a good'un. Again there was loads of other cyclists out as well as runner, dog walkers, horse riders and walkers.
As for the weather well it is back to cloud and +11 degrees tomorrow, so time to put the dark lenses away and fit the bright orange ones again. Might drag the winter road bike out tomorrow for an outing as the frost and ice will have gone.
Below are a few pics for todays ride, enjoy and hopefully more soon -














PS - Fresh Goods Sunday is returning after the festive holiday break in the New Year.
