got myself motivated this morning as forecast was canny .... a bit chilly on setting out, headed to the seaside on my usual route down to Wynyard- GT Stainton-Bishopton-Thorpe Thewles and the start of the Wynyard cycle route.(and a great cafe) grabbed a hot coffee+sauage roll mainly to thaw my fingers .
it had got a lot warmer by the time i left there , down to Station Town and on towards Wingate were a sharp right to pick up the Castle Eden Walk/cycle route when i came across a fallen tree blocking the path.... once you pass Hart Station you leave the path and you meander almost at the Headland at Hartlepool -headed to the Marina then all the way into Seaton Carew a long the promenade .
left a long the Seal Sands road as the boss (Karon) lives just off there and was i need of tea+cake . once refreshed i set off back towards Thorpe Thewles at Redmarshall took a left and head towards the A66 as i dont like returning the same way as i came (OCD) I think. then over to the the road to Longnewton were i pick up the cyclepath into Darlington passing through Sadberge once in Darlington headed to the A167 and lastly the cyclepath back home. got 66miles under my belt so glad i pushed myself this morning ... ride to the seaside and called in to see the boss plus i needed tea+cake | Ride | Strava

as the sun was out first thing i thought a trip out to see my mate he's only about 5 miles down the road so had to go the scenic route as you do. went my usual route to Wynyard cycle track via GT Staainton-Redmarshall and Thorpe Thewles, had coffee+cake and got thawed out as it was very chilly.
headed off down the Wynyard cycle path which is part of the (NCN 1)towards the A689, there is a track that runs along side the A689 all the way into Sedgefield which i normally use but today i felt like a change. after about 1 miles i took a right turn and headed over towards Fishburn , its here i got a little mixed up at the cross roads i should have gone straight over but took a left and the next thing i was almost in Sedgefield which i was trying to avoid... its an AGE thing . any way took the first right and picked up the A177 to find Bishop Middleham straight through and down to Ferryhill Station.
left just after the bridge and on towards Chilton.had tea and a bit crack putting the world to rights :laugh: then it was time to head home as the sun had vanished and was getting cool very quickly. along side the A167 back into Newton Aycliffe. ... 3 ride this week beats working for sure Morning Ride | Ride | Strava 32 chilly miles ...but good to be out again.

By choice we live where the weather makes cycling fun 365 days out of the year. Unfortunately most of the area is unsafe for bicyclists with motorists driving at high speeds on the country roads which have no shoulders at the edges. So we stay on the bike paths and mountain bike trails for the most part.

Some recent photos and a video of some of the local trails that I ride. The footage on this morning was a bit long as it combines three separate but consecutively ridden trails.

Prairie Dog that was one of the best MTB vids I've seen. What a sensational job.... thanks for that!

I agree, great work. I hadn’t seen Prairie Dog’s videos before, some beautiful rides!

Thanks fellas. I can only recall a handful of times when I’ve exited the bluff trail with a clean run. I usually get hung up on that gnarly rooted slope near the top as a result of pedal strikes. The Bluff is not as flowy as I would like but it is what it is and it’s still my fave spot to ride. Second would be the Pines singletrack.

It’s only a matter of time before the first real snowfall arrives. For the time being, I’ve been riding the trails with more frequency taking full advantage of the relatively dry conditions. This bodes well as I’m not in any rush to switch over to studs just yet.

With that being said, the mornings have been cold enough in recent days to form a thin veil of ice on the local ponds.

I’m all for sharing the trails but something needs to be done about the piles of manure left behind particularly along narrow stretches where it’s virtually unavoidable. Wishful thinking.

Despite that, I’m still quite fond of this tight little single at Heritage.

These deer were crossing the river as I approached from their flank.

It’s rutting season on this stretch of the Heritage Ranch trail system.

Riding the MUPs is sometimes inescapable but sometimes it’s just a matter of deviating through the urban forest when transitioning to the next trailhead.

a trip out to see a mate ,who is just out of hospital. he lives in Brandon .... which is only 15 miles up the road and just of the Bishop Auckland-Brandon railway path.. at Brandon so its always a great ride as its virtually all traffic free , ( all but 2 miles )
i picked the track up just after the Newton Cap Viaduct on the right next to the entrance to the the Kynren show ground, the view from the viaduct was good this morning ... but seeing all the flower tribute's that are tied to the railings always make me feel sad and makes me glad of the people i have in my life.
after coffee and biscuit's i continued along the Brandon rail line as far as Broompark ,which was my turn around point and planned my return via the Deerness Valley railway path. head towards Ushaw Moor-Esh Winning-Billy Row . from here i left the railway line and skirted Crook then just before Willington took a right up Rumby hill and down to High Grange, over the A689 through Witton Park through Woodside-down to Woodlouse's and down to Tindale Crescent back to shildon and the cyclepath home along side the rail line into Newton Aycliffe... just as the rain started to fall . timed it good

todays little jaunt was to be a short affair as rain was forecast .so i headed to my fav cafe in Barnard Castle but decided to go the reverse of my normal route for a change, well into the wind in the hope it will help blow me back lol.
off through the industrial estate to pick up the cycle path up to Heighington making my way for Piecebridge then on to Eppleby my other fav cafe stop but with only 15 miles under my belt to early to stop .
pressing on to Cadwell-Thorpe and then the crossing of the A66,it was here i fancied a change of route .instead of Greta Bridge and back over the A66 my normal way, i choose to go up through Bignall then drop down to the easier crossing of the A66 which takes you down the B6277 to Barnard Castle.
while sat eating my bacon+chip butty i ummm and arrred about the return leg , with an eye on the sky i opted to take the B6278 out up towards folly top then tuned right to head to Woodland. and now the wind was at my back i was flying along 14 gear of the Rohloff and hitting 34 mph whoooooo... back on the B6282 through Toft Hill and down through Woodhouses and Tindale Crescent crossroads. has it was only 1 pm i headed left towards Spennymoor via the Auckland way cycle path to see a mate and get a coffee.
left Spennymoor climbed up to Kirk Merrington -Leasingthorne-Old Eldon dropped down the Elephants trunk to Shildon station and the cycle path home. and still no rain 62 miles and very warm

looks like a great setup with pannier to carry some wet weather gear and just head off into the countryside. The great thing about ebikes is that once you get one, you find reasons to ride, so just heading out across the countryside for a coffee and a sausage sarnie...aye that's the way to spend a day!

Before you criticize, keep in mind that there are lots of people who are on a class 2 ebike because they do not have the ability to pedel. A throttle gives those people the ability to get out and enjoy biking.

Just running a few errands around town on the bike paths and cycle lanes, here a new cycle/pedestrian bridge under construction which will link bike paths on either side of the river (Avon, Christchurch, NZ). There is a growing network of bike paths within the city, it's becoming more possible to get about town and avoid having to bike amongst traffic. Whenever the local council releases information about the cost and projected spending on designated bike paths or cycle lanes there is always an outcry about it, I suspect mostly from non cyclists. I think what some folks fail to understand is that these bike paths and lanes are not just for those of us who use them now, but for future generations. We can never expect that people will want to take up cycling as a commute option, or as a prefered form of transport if there is nowhere safe to ride. It's becoming a real pleasure to just get on the bike and do a circuit of the town without having to share a space with motor vehicles. Footnote: The visible road surface and the land on the left of picture were once residential but was damaged during the earthquakes,(Feb 22, 2011). The dwellings are all gone now, the trees and shrubs remain. The plan now approved is to replant and landscape this entire area either side of the river to create a cycle/pedestrian green belt linking the centre of the city with the eastern beachside suburbs, A distance spanning about 12klm. The replanting will consist of predominantly native flora and fauna to create a natural park-like setting.
