Fantastic weather today, perfect for being out on the bike - not too hot, slight cooling breeze.
A new route (for me) today, along to Hexham and then south, via some big climbs (Hexham up to Dukehouse Woods, then down to the Linnels at Devils Water & up all the way to and beyond Slaley, heading for Blanchland and the back of Derwent Reservoir, before heading north again to Shotley Fields, & [eventually] down through Hindley, and along back to Riding Mill.
Just 40 miles covered at this point, so I pushed-on past my turn for home, dropping down into Corbridge and along to Hexham, then looped back home. Job done, 51 miles, and 4,200ft of ascent today!
