6.12 miles. The Boldons. One vintage 1947 Pensioner., riding Specialised Vado SL for a change. Dull and overcast on leaving, which soon turned to rain. Ride shortened to minimise the soaking!








Tuesday, 23rd July 2024


7.64 miles. The Boldons and Downhill Lane. One vintage 1947 pensioner, riding Specialised Vado 4 SL. Dull and damp. This is supposed to be summer!








Wednesday, 24th July 2024


10.91 miles. Boldon - Follingsby. Vintage 1947 pensioner riding Specialised Vado 4 SL. Sunny and pleasant morning, like it should be in July!

11.08 miles. Boldon - Whitburn. Vintage 1947 pensioner, riding Specialised Vado 4 SL. Weather has returned to rubbish, dull, and, then, rain on the way home. Mild is the only positive!

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.

  Sunday, 8th November 2020 15.20 miles. Boldon Colliery - Jarrow - Gateshead - Boldon Colliery.   Dull, damp, and, eventually, raining. An outing (solo) to collect "E" (St Edmunds) in my Cyclechat ABC Saints Names Challenge.   Rather disappointing that I could not also get the "G" (Gateshead) for the Cyclechat ABC Towns and Villages , there does not appear to be a place name board for Gateshead, perhaps, no-one wants to know when they enter there? Monday, 9th November 2020 15.84 miles. Boldon Colliery - Sunderland - Whitburn - Boldon Colliery. Dull and damp, but, mild at 11C. Thursday, 12th November 2020 25.52 miles. Boldon Colliery - Jarrow - Hebburn - Pelaw - Gateshead - Newcastle-upon-Tyne - North Shields - South Shields - Boldon Colliery.    Sunny, and mild 13C, but, windy. A bumper day for the Cyclechat Saints Names Challenge , "F", "G", and "H", and a "G" for Cyclechat ABC Towns and Villages.
