Fully Loaded

With the snow levels falling i took maybe my last chance to get out in snow so loaded up the bike and took off for a few or more hours..

Joined by Dave(Ramsay) we headed out past the quayside in Newcastle and picked up the C2C route out onto the Derwent Vallet trail...



The bike is really good... comfortable to ride and even loaded it was still fun. Alpkit kindly sent me some new Airlock Xtra dry bags to play with and they strap easily to the racks and look the part in orange.

We deviated from the Derwent Valley Walk and took a nice descent before starting the long push and ride to the top of Chopwell Woods.



After a bit of playing we spun home...



Really pleased with everything so far and next addition will be some handmade handlebar pogies from Dogwood Designs in Alaska.. custom brown to match bike:)
