Great, Stretch for company so not solo today!

Fit, refreshed and raring to go back from his own relaxing vacation in the sun, my friend and cycling Buddy Stretch was all set for an outing in parts new for him - unfortunately no mercy was shown by yours truly, having enjoyed my 66 miles yesterday, and I duly led him out down to Tynemouth and up the coast to sample the delights of the North Sea coastal gales, and then inland for some traffic-heavy roads.
​Welcome home to Blightly Lee, bosh that's a 60 miler! At least it's a bit flatter than you're used to out West.
