Ken and Kathleen Cycling Diary

Thursday, 30th April 2026  2.4 miles. Boldon Colliery. Our first outing of 2026 on the Hase Pino Steps. A very short ride, mainly to satisfy Kathleen that desfpitethe slow progress of her Alzheimer's, she can still ride as stoker on the Pino. In that respect, a success, she managed superbly, and, thoroughly enjoyed it. Unfortunately the cycle track on our regular route is closed because of road works. True to form, local council has made no provision for an alternative route. Friday, 1st May 2026 6.48 miles. Boldon Colliery - Nissan - West Pasture . Only on vintage 1947 pensioner, early morning ride. Sunny and calm, but a cool 8c. So long since I used my camera, I got the video upside down!, hopefully, I can flip it over in Youtube. 9.91 miles. Boldon Colliery - Dipe Lane - Downhill Lane - Nissan - West Pasture. Two vintage 1947 pensioners, riding Hase Pino Steps Semi-recumbent tandem. Beautiful sunny day, 20c.

  Tuesday 7th April 2026 4.72 miles. Boldon - Downhill Lane. First outing since mid November 2025, so, only a short one. Only one vintage 1947 pensioner. A cool (6c), but, dry, calm and sunny. Video is rear view, and upside down!, front view failed to. record. Total failure.
