Well not been yet, but it’s finally stopped raining (after 2 weeks straight) and the sun is shining. The bike is pumped, I’m pumped. We’re off :smiley:.

[image] I highly recommend this ride if in North East UK. Hard in places riding on gravel, dirt, sand, stone, long flat road and countryside lanes. Lots of gates open and closing on of road parts. Fantastic views that compete with Taiwan East coast. Private beach enclaves, ride through field of…
