after a walk over to the town (errands to do).weather looked like it was improving ,and i thought even this late 11-30 i could fit in a gentle spin.so a quick change and i was heading up the cycle path from the station ,only to be stopped by a police car. they were looking for a man that had gone missing and showed me a pic and asked to lookout for him. once through Shildon opted to make my way over to Eppleby for coffee, it got out nice ☀️☀️ so after coffee extended the ride by returning back via Darlington (as you do ). and came into Aycliffe village via a b/way that misses out all traffic... ended up just over 40 miles

Enjoyed the report. Where is this ride?

The bridges are all quite elegant -- especially the first. When were they built?
 
It was another stellar day on the trails on a warm sunny day. Anytime it registers above freezing temps in February I take advantage of it. Looks like it’s going to be much of the same in the days to follow.

Just when I thought this tree was not going anywhere some kind soul comes along and makes my day.

More DT mural action. Following up on my session on the trails, I briefly rode through the core on my way home.

Excellent pics!
 
Ok, gotta admit some of those murals are pretty cool. The next to last, with the blue face and purple hair in particular, like that one a lot.
Dave. That one is somewhat of a sentimental fave of mine as my family used to own the building (Club Café) next door. The restaurant was in our family for three generations. Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end and it along with the Buffalo Hotel next to it will come down this spring.

Too bad you don't live in a more colorful place.
Yep, snow tends to do that. ;)

I wish I was there too but I would need heated jock strap and riding ensemble, gotta keep the family jewels warm.
My pictures for today my typical ride home from the workshop in Kapolei to Waipahu where home is.
Stop at the Wetlands didn't see my favorite bird it's a bird that hunts fish.
It's still mucky with dry spots and I was careful to point my bike here and there so I don't get too much dirt on my jersey.
My GF threw away couple $50 jerseys already because they were muddied.

All that color downtown must be extra fun in the winter.
It’s part of a city/DBA funded, ‘Meet The Streets’ revitalization program that has been going on for the past couple of years. Our core, like many provincial municipalities has been struggling of late and local businesses are finding it difficult to convince people to return to what used to be a vibrant and thriving part of town. Tackling crime, lack of social housing for the homeless, more residential development have always been hot topics on council and it may take some time before we see real change.

Making it look more attractive, appealing and, as you had mentioned, more colourful is a start but convincing citizens that the core is still a safe place to walk, dine, and shop is proving to be somewhat difficult.
