6 turned out for Paul's ride, weather classed as slightly intermediate damp. First point to note is that Paul had no shoes, no problem he says, his house is but a small detour...so he reprogrammed his GPS ...We set off from Newbiggin taking an anti-clockwise circuit, heading along disused railway all level and civilized, then a bit of tarmac and we end up at Paul's gaff for tea and cake, no wait a minute a RADs ride with an intermission, all extremely civilized. Cake + diet, no issue just call them buscuits and eat another one, thank you kindly.
Off for the second half up a lane, along a lane, up more lanes, and a big UP onto the bridgeway into that headwind so it ALL felt like uphill, although there must have been some downhill there someplace!
Back to the cars after 11.8 miles and an elapsed time of 2 hrs 27 minutes, max altitude of 1370ft, (small print: all data supplied by Paul's GPS, after the pub stop!)
