Thanks! I've lost a little mobility in my left elbow, but as long as I can play guitar and ride my bike I'm OK with that.:)
I've got a tricky knee and I've alway had problems with my elbows. I've found that standing on the pedals over nasty ground really messes with my knee and the same ground does not make my elbows happy. So I slow down and maybe even let my butt take a little more discomfort rather than the crappy knee. 👍 🤗

One of my favorite places to ride to date. I posted this image here almost a year ago during a brief stopover along Athabasca River while cycling in Jasper National Park. We enjoyed the fall ride so much that we plan on replicating it next month and may extend the scope of the ride to cover areas that we missed during our last visit.

today ... had the urge for a bacon sarnie this morning so off to barny we go 😁.. my usual route out cycle path to Shildon then the track under the A6072 to brusselton lane up the bank to royal oak then drop down to Bolam then lovely almost traffic free lanes -Hilton-Langton-Little Newsham to pick up the A67 into Barnard castle .
the Teesdale cafe was packed :( so change of plan and headed out past the Bowes museum on Westwick road then a left down to Abbey bridge where i spotted a mobile tea stall, slammed on brakes . i ordered a sausage sarnie + coffee. and it gets a 10/10 from me for taste and value ... then it was of to Eppleby via a short section of the A66 .
on reaching the A66 the inside lane was closed off with cones all the way down to the turn off point , great i thought will have it all to myself :) but it was not to be.. two guys in a van were adamant i had to cross over :mad: it was not a hardship but crossing over i knew i had to drag a big heavy bike up 23 steps . just pleased i am a fit oldstick :D ... once up the steps it was down up over the bridge and at the next junction re-crossed the A66 into the coned off section for 400yds quick dash :laugh: and on to Thorpe-Cadwell- Eppleby .were a coffee+scone was needed ,then home bound via Piercebridge-Walworth -Heighington-aycliffe . a nice steady 44 miles after yesterdays 63 ..

a trip to the seaside ... through the lanes to Thorpe-thewels to pick up the Wynyard cycle route (ncn1 )...then picked up the castle eden walk way (ncn14 ) which takes you past Hart station, then on the outskirts of Hartlepool. made my way to the marina, past the Museum to pick up the promenade which leads you all the way to Seaton Carew. called in to ice cream shop i had a lemon top then left on the seal sands road ( not many seals about today ) , it was here i decided as i was passing i would call in and see my fav MIL. had a quick cuppa and a chat.
time to head homeward through Wolviston past Wynyard heading back to ThorpeThewels were i changed my route to go see my best mate at Chilton, i picked up the wynyard cycle route again and when i reached the A680 picked up the track along side it (ncn1) all the way to sedgefield. then i had to join the A689 for a short run down to the Ferryhill turn off up Gipsy Lane , then on to Chilton. two cups of tea and a good catch up it was 6-30,home time .. down to Rushyford along the A167 to pick up the bridleway to Woodham Village then home at last. great day out even if it was longer than planned ,a round trip of almost 65 miles ^_^^_^

todays little jaunt ... had not decided exactly my route while eating my porridge, had it down to choice of 2 and would make my mind up once i got to the start of both at Darlington.
picked the shorter route as the wind was getting blustery ...lol headed out by the Stadium and on to Neasham-low dinsdale over the river tees and almost traffic free through Girsby over the B1264 onto Hornby- Appleton Wiske- then more quite lanes through Deighton -Brompton and onto Northallerton for coffee+ sausage sarnie,which was had in a small little cafe up a small alleyway which pleased me..... as Northallerton was manic .
left Northallerton on the B6271 to Yafforth then took a right turn on a very dodgy bend to Danby Wiske, it took a lot of will power to not stop at the pub. through Streetlam then took a left at Atley hill down to Scorton -Moulton -Middleton Tyas then drop down and through Barton-Stapleton and back at Darlington.
the market square had a cycle event on to get the kids on bikes Bikes of all types on offer at summer cycling event | The Northern Echo it look great fun. left Darlo via Cockerton and the back road up to Walworth gate then over to Heighington then dropped down to Aycliffe and home . another good day out 63 miles done

Sounds delightful but can you tell me what “pleased me as the place was manic” means?
You like busy places, I assume?
 
had planned to ride over the Butter tubs today ... but after i left Richmond the rain started , jacket on and time for a re-think. thought it best to stay low in the valley so headed for the Dales bike centre to get a bacon+egg sarnie and coffee, and pick another route.
Decided to ride the Swale trail (last done 2018),inspired by @Cathryn post. plus once i got to the end at Keld if weather was good i could still get up to Tan hill.
you could see the trail has been well used since i was here last .. more new signs and a few more gates been added but it still was great fun, at the cafe had a sausage roll and chocolate cake + coffee ,and had a discussion about the merits of e-bikes.
then i headed up to Tan hill which was very busy so no time for a beer. off along the road towards Reeth for about 3 miles then took the turn for a short cut to Bowes (not for road bikes).
once at Bowes picked up the A67 into Barnard castle straight through till a left turn for Little Newsham-Bolam up to RoyalOak across the A68 down Brusselton bank to Shildon aand the cycle path all the way back to Newto aycliffe and home. bloody knacked but was a really good day despite the earl showers. 79 miles done

I thought there some crazy names in Scotland but Crackpot wins! 🤣
 
Riding on the levy. The tree line is the Rio Grande River, the border with Mexico. In this area they grow sugar cane and behind me are mountain bike trails. You should be able to see some of the border wall on one of the pictures.
