  Tuesday 17th June 2025 6.74 Miles. Boldon - West Pasture - Downhill Lane.  One vintage 1947 pensioner, riding Specialised Vado 4SL e-bike. A dry and mild morning, but, with a brisk wind blowing from the South. Saw a surprising number of cyclists, maybe as many as 10-12, mostly en-route to work, or, going home after the night-shift, I would guess. Wednesday 18th June 2025 8.06 miles. Boldon - Jarrow - White Mare Pool - Boldon.   One vintage 1947 pensioner, riding Specialised Vado 4SL e-bike. Pleasant morning, very mild 17c, calm.
