Very cold overnight but a dry bright Morning after a couple of Wet and Windy days so an opportunity to get out on the Bicycle and rack up a few steady base miles just riding around at an easy effort level.
I set off through Dundonald and in to the Belfast road then across the Holywood road to Craigantlet and down the Ballymoney road crossing the Bangor dual carriageway and descending in to Helens Bay and a stop at the Beach. One crazy lady was getting in some swimming despite the cold and the rolling waves.
Setting off again after that short stop I cycled on round to Crawfordsburn Country Park and in to the Park to explore a little.
Leaving the Park I returned along the same roads and back up to Craigantlet then a descent down Bradshaws Brae to Kiltonga Nature Reserve in Newtownards.
Leaving Newtownards and a climb up around Scrabo, down in to Comber and home via the Greenway for a pleasant 35 miles.
