Derwent

After a few days of high wind it was nice to get a flat day. Roads were pretty quiet at 9am as every normal person should have been hungover after Boxing day.
Sunshine as we rode out of Bradfield but once on the tops we en counted a little rain. Looking back we could see Bradfield framed by a rainbow.
The circuit round Derwent is very popular and today was no different. Lots of walkers and riders enjoying the good early morning weather. The area must have had some heavy rain as water was coming off the hills and covering the road.
its the first time I've seen water coming over both dam walls in a long time. Another plus , the road was closed to cars after the centre.
The weather got better as we returned too. Very nice 35miles.
