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!

Boldon - Whitburn.  A dry autumn morning, stiff breeze from the West, cooler now, but, still mild enough for fingerless gloves. One    vintage 1947 Pensioner, riding Specialised Vado 4 SL e-bike. AKASO EK7000 Camera. Wednesday 4th September 2024 5.54 Miles. Boldon - Downhill Lane. What was supposed to be a quick spin out, became a problem, spots of rain, within the first five minutes, then, Garmin Mount came loose. So, a return to base, quick tighten of Garmin Mount, by which time, rain. stopped, so, ride continues. A cloudy, but mild (16c) afternoon.   One    vintage 1947 Pensioner, riding Carrera Cross City Folding e-bike. AKASO...

Sunday, 6th July 2025 7.10 miles. Boldon - West Meadows - Nissan. No video, because I have not got camera mounts on the tandem yet.   Mild and still morning 16c, but, cloudy. Two vintage 1947 pensioners, riding our new to us Hase Pino Steps, semi-recumbent tandem. All very good fun on our first home area outing. Gave a laugh. to a couple of passers-by. Tuesday, 8th July 2025 15.49 Miles. Boldon - Jarrow - Washington Village - Boldon.   No video, because I have not got camera mounts on the tandem yet.   Mild and calm morning 18c, and sunny. Two vintage 1947 pensioners, riding Hase Pino semi-recumbent tandem. Coffee stop at Washington Village. A couple of problematic barriers with tandem, one of which was impossible, and, alternative route very overgrown and neglected. We will have to find a better alternative route, Thursday, 10th July 2025 11.29 miles. Boldon - Whitburn - Boldon.     No video, because I have not got camera mounts on the tandem yet. ...
