Nice route through the lanes to Staindrop today then took the private estate road through to Ingleton. Saw my first swallow of the year while riding through there. Lots of water and mud still on the roads and some flooding in the fields but at last there's blossom about and the trees are coming into leaf. From Summerhouse went up to the top of Brussleton Bank on the Roman road which, true to type, crosses the contours at right angles. Would have been all downhill from there except I had to climb up to Kirk Merrington from Leasingthorne with the speedo refusing to show much above walking pace. 48 miles with 3,660 feet of climbing - felt like I'd done twice that.
Great being partially retired and getting out on a Monday when the roads and caffs are quieter.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Good morning chaps. A horrible dreary, dark, rainy day here. Has winter come back again?

.Overcast and windy here, supposed to be better from tomorrow onwards. Off back home tomorrow. We've had the site to ourselves all week which has been very nice and peaceful, nothing but nice views, cows, deer, buzzards and all sorts of other wildlife passing through. Plenty of good walks, nice weather and pubs has made it a very pleasant week away from the daily grind of retirement. Perfect.

3.3 mile run, light weights (arm and back day today). Just cooling off so I can have a shower.

My internet is down, I got back from yoga and there was a red light on the router, I'm now waiting for them to fix it, until they do I'm going to be burning through my mobile data.

I'm back, I have working internet.
Its amazing how much time you gain by being offline, I've managed two trips to the tip and some minor bike fettling this afternoon.
