did a few jobs in garden yesterday . so had a free day so decided to pop out for coffee+cake as you do. just went the scenic route ^_^ out to shildon along the cyclepath to pick up the off road route (part of the W2W) towards Langton -Little Newsham to join the A67 to drop into Barnard Castle.
there was wall to wall traffic and one of my fav coffee stop was heaving ,so i pressed on to the next one but for a change took the Greta bridge road which meant using the A66 hmy: but it was only about a mile. which then put me back on track to Eppleby . coffee and scone gulped down it was time to head to the next stop via Manfield and the back way into Darlington.
took the short route through Darlo to get to the cyclepath by the A167 to Brafferton then called in at the Cozy coffee for some of Rosie's very yummy Mango and white choc cake :hungry:. as it was now getting very chilly headed home with a detour to the hole in the wall another good day 50 miles done.

Rio was unusually enthusiastic to go tonight. Wanted to run ahead first few miles. OK says I. I can keep up. I've been conditioning him last few months cause he's never really been asked to run any distance these first 8 years of his life. But I could see him getting soft and decided to start taking him when I ride, for a few miles anyway. Then I'd put him up and go blast around for a while. Tonight he was all for it. After about five miles at really his easy cantor pace he was glad to see the river, of which he drank copiously. We finished up the last couple miles at his dog-trot pace which is around 5.5 mph. Although he decided to race me the last couple hundred yards. I whipped his butt. Race wise I mean. I've never hit this dog.

Tried a new path on the north side of the north arm of Fraser river...















Portions of the path ran through parks, and man those parks were jam packed with people.
Great ride on a hot day.

Poor horses in this heat!

Poor horses in this heat!

Yeah, there was a lady there with a hose and a big industrial fan. As soon as the horses got in she was cooling them down straight away. But still...

yesterdays ride ... well thought i had worked it out ok mileage=twin batteries . used my usual cyclists lanes to get to Hawes Piercebridge- Aldbrough- st-John- over the A66 -Richmond -Redmire- Askrigg- Hawes . it was very busy and queues so had a bannana while sat outside the Wensleydale creamery at the foot of the start to climb Fleet Moss. went through Galye then its just up and nothing else, once at the top all was good and headed down the other side , through places that brought back memories of rides i had done this way years ago. Oughtershaw- Yockenthwaite- Hubberholme- Buckden.
this was where i had to make a choice left and head back ...up Kidstones (56 mile point) . as i had no time restraints and still 3 bars showing went right and headed to Kettlewell then turned left and attacked Park rash. (note to self you are almost 66 not 36), thee Rohloff did its job and got us both up just (65 mile) . the ride down Coverdale seemed to take ages and on reaching Layburn ,
was when i started to doubt of making it knocked it down to eco mode . boy that was a shock to the old legs (used to tour mode all day)...once i got through Richmond and dropped down to Gilling West the climb up to re-cross the A66 felt like FLEET MOSS by now i was turning motor off for the level and trying to keep what i had left for the last climb at Walworth... power went 50 yards after the top (101 mile) those last 6 miles home almost killed me :laugh::laugh: but once i got to Highington i knew it was all down hill
mileage 107 Miles 7,625 FT... was a funny old day

after Mondays epic ride ..needed to loosen the old legs up so just a short trip to Barnard castle via off road route and back lanes, as it was not as warm thought it would be ok to call in at my fav coffee stop the Teesdale Tea Room .
.excellent staff and good grub .came back via a short section of the A66 .. as Whorlton bridge out of action .whizzed through Eppleby my other coffee as there was no one around and was getting a tad chilly.
ended up doing 45 miles and the old legs feeling canny

Nice 30km ride today.

Found a park I'd never seen before





Is my bike trying to tell me something?

 

[theloafer]

was to be a short trip to collect 2 locks i had ordered for my and karons e-bikes (needed them keyed the same as the other locks).decided to go via the ncn 715 picking it up at Bishop Aucland just over the Newton gap viaduct ,which now is also the entrance for Kynren .
not used this route in years but it leaves all the traffic and was excellent. after crossing over rough lea lane it turns into the ncn70 getting through sunnybrow- Willington- Brandon- ,on reaching broom lane headed for Neville's cross and the A167 (cyclepath) runs along side all the way to Framwellgate Moor and the e-bike shop.
on the return leg when i got to Broompark picnic area i appeared to get a little muddled, and ended up going towards Crook. but on the good side i found aa great place for a coffee stop , a young lad with a converted horse box into a mobile cafe ( ON THE HOOF ) its called so i just had to stop.
coffee and a toasted teacake filled a hole, after going a few more mile and not recognised anything i had passed i asked a local who told me i was not were i wanted to be lol .turned round and made my way back to picnic area, and noticed were i went wrong
once back on track i made good time as i could see rain clouds building. but as i got back to the viaduct the heavens opened thunder and lighting (pleased i had my jacket ).a very very wet ride to tindale- through shildon to pick up the cycle path back to Aycliffe. ended up doing 49 miles almost 40 of them traffic free.

a nice accidental ride to Powell butte in PORTLAND OR. I meant to go to this mount tabor and I missed one turn (I guess I was on auto pilot to the bike path) then I forgot to turn again to get back on track so we decided to go up Powell butte. we took the smoother path but till roots and a few turns made it hards on the tandem. but we managed and made it to the top. last Monday when the city saw 115 degree temps this would have been hell its so dry up here anyway and surrounded by city it would have been so hot.

ya we have not went up since last summer. stronger so it was not as hard. still tricky on a tandem avoiding roots and such. my wife is blind and she treats out on sudden dips and such.

Yes I can imagine being in that situation. Good on you guys for getting out there. You must be in constant verbal contact with Mrs. Foofer in order to keep her in the know!

we went on a nice mountain bike ride on our tandem I had a route all mapped out. well it Wass a 20 mile ride to the top. doing down the map had us go on a fire road. it was Fine for awhile then it got way to tricky for a tandem. so we walked it down the rest of the way a bit crazy but not too bad. so the map took us to another tail going down but it was for hiking. so stupid me figured we would walk the tandem down. well it was ok for a bit but it got worse and worse. but it seemed going back up with be impossible. we had 2 foot drops with roots we had to get the tandem down my wife was having a real fun time of it. someone coming up told us there were steep stains and it was like great. people coming down realized we were having issues and when we got to a really bad part right before those steep stairs. I don't think we could have gotten down them on our own. it was work for us too guys to carry the tandem down and to go around the turns till we got to the road.
we got to cross the St johns bridge and it was a fantastic view.
But this is the thing I used a app thats made to map bike rides and it chose that path even though it is a walking path. When I checked it on google choosing that path from where we were at the top to the bridge google chose that path too.; so it was a lesson for sure. that path would have been pretty hard for my wife without the bike. it was more work then riding. so we got across the bridge found a Chinese restaurant as we were a bit wobbly after getting down that trail. we had a whole battery left so we road the 15 miles back on full assist so we did not have to work too hard. luckily there was a 711 close so we both could get an energy drink after 4 dishes at the Chinese place. ti was pretty good too. 42 miles several miles of walking and over 2000 feet of climbing. You can see the end of the stairs. we had to lift the tandem high to get it around the corners.

Holy Carp!
Sorry you had a bit of a tough time on some of that ride, it was obviously unexpected.
That said you both have a major story to tell, and I'm impressed!
Chinese food was a great reward too
