Ken and Kathleen Cycling Diary

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.

  Friday, 15th December 2023 4.76 miles.   Boldon Colliery and Downhill Lane.  One vintage 1947 pensioner walking, one cycling on folding bicycle. Bright and sunny. Becoming rather fed up with this achilles tendon problem now, it has been about 8 months, and, no real improvement.
