12.53 Miles. Commons Wood CAMC Site (Welwyn) - Hatfield - Jersey Farm - Hatfield - Commons Wood CAMC Site. Hot sunny day, 27C. Securring problem with Garmin (user error?), it does not appear to be possibly to use the ride timer, and, GPS Sat-Nav function, at same time. The time simply does not record for the activity. Fortunately, Kathleen recording via Runkeeper, hence, the different map. 

The reason for the ride (if there has to be a reason to ride?), is to "bag" the "J" for Cyclechat ABC of Town and Villages Challenge, hence, Jersey Farm.

19.96 miles. I know, the map says 17.96, Garmin/User problem. Runkeeper (as per Kathleen) says 19.96 miles. Commons Wood CAMC Site WGC - Knebworth - Commons Wood CAMC Site. Bright sunny day, but, not too hot. 

Stopped for Lunch in Knebworth, where I also bagged "K" for my Cyclechat ABC Towns and Villages Challenge.

Tuesday 19th March 2024   A tentative return to Cycling and Walking, after a lay-off of several months, due to an Achilles Tendon problem. Diagnosed as "thickening of Achilles Tendon", and told, "this is an over use injury, rest and recuperation is the solution". 6.02 miles. Boldon Colliery and West Boldon. One vintage 1947 pensioner riding Carrera Cross City e-bike (just acquired, not even made the first payment to Klarna yet), the other vintage 1947 pensioner walking (briskly). No ill effects. No video.  Friday 22nd March 2024 4.49 miles. Boldon Colliery and West Boldon. Only one vintage 1947 pensioner today, so, going a little faster, but, nothing too ambitious. Dry and sunny, 12c, but, very windy.

Saturday, 4th March 2024 12.69 miles. Waterpump CL - Badingham - Bruisyard -Framlington - Waterpump CL.   Our first bicycle ride for some months. A quiet start, around Badingham Village, then on to Framlington, much of it on a section of NCN1. A pleasant lunch in Framlington, at what appears to be Avery popular bakers shop come cafe. A little "essential" shopping (milk, and, an easy ready meal for this evening), before we take the "short" route back to the WaterpumpCL, mostly via the B1120. A final stop for refreshments at The White Horse, Badingham. I notice, for some reason, almost every pub is called The White Horse!
