Week Ending, Saturday 3th September 2022 (32.85 miles)
Sunday, 28th August 2022
7.68 Miles. Boldon Colliery - East Boldon - West Boldon. An early morning ride, so, only one vintage 1947 pensioner. Cool, dry and still, at 12c, borderline for an extra layer. My monthly target of 150 miles/month is looking doubtful, only 122.9miles done, leaving 27.1 to do, only 3 days to do it in.

10.77 Miles. Haydon Bridge - Fourstones - Haydon Bridge. Two vintage 1947 Pensioners. AKASO EK7000 Camera. Cloudy and cool with slight breeze from the East. This was undulating with a capital "U"! Lots of fun downhill stretches, but, for every downhill stretch, there is an UP! Included a short section of NCN72 (on quiet road).

14.40 Miles. Haydon Bridge - Bardon Mill - Henshaw. Two vintage 1947 Pensioners. AKASO EK7000 Camera. Sunny and warm, 20c, a breeze, from the East.We first follow a signed trail, but, that becomes an unrideable. So, plan B, follow the 'old road' through Haydon Bridge, inevitably we come to the A69. We take a chance to ride the four miles to Bardon Mill, along the A69. Not really enjoyable, too noisy, and, or course, the constant thought 'is some clown playing with their phone, instead of watching where they
are going!". A stop for coffee and cake at Bardon Mill, then, a little further on NCN72. We could have returned via the NCN72, but, it was decided that risking the A69 again was better than the prospect of big hills!
