Visiting family up in the North East so brought my bike along and got 70 miles in this morning. It really is a beautiful bit of the country, similar riding to the peaks but really underrated IMO. Nice quiet roads with very few cars and friendly people, plenty of nods and waves from fellow cyclists. Some bloody big hills mind, 6500ft of climbing today. 2 x 100 climbs, number 59 Crawleyside, 274m, avg 4%, 6.2km, steepest 20%, and number 60, Peth Bank, 141m, avg 8%, also 20% at its steepest.
