March 2011 cycling statistics

Cycling monthly cycling statistics 4 Comments

Here are my cycling statistics for March. I now this month is still not fully over, I was really hoping to get out on the bike again one last time this month. It’s just so windy, it’s not going to happen. The wind speed is up 30 mph. I don’t really feel like getting blowing off my bike. It’s really pissed me off, since I really wanted to do another 34 miles, then I would have done 700 miles this month.

Here is the data from March 2011:-

  • Total cycles: 29
  • Total Distance: 666 miles
  • Total Time: 50:07:28 (h:m:s)
  • Avg Speed: 12.9 mph
  • Max Time: 4:30:57 (h:m:s)
  • Max Speed: 33.9 mph
  • Avg Distance: 23.11 miles
  • Max Distance: 60.10 miles

Data from: Garmin Connect.

Here are my favourite cycling photos from the month:-

Personal Vlog 1 Comment

During on my last webcam chat people said they like it when I do outdoor vlogs. They also said I would try to do them in lots of different locations. So I filmed this one under a old railway bridge, near to my home in Little Bytham.

Here are some photos taken in the same location.

New poll on-line

website 2 Comments

I have just added a new poll. Which can be found on the top right of each page. This poll is about what would you like more of, on the website.

You can vote from two of the following:-

  • Blog posts
  • Photos
  • Podcasts
  • Vlogs

Also big thanks to everyone that voted in the last poll. I asked “What would you like to see more photos of?” the poll results were as followed.

I was hoping that my motorcycle gear would win, since right now it’s my favourite gear. But oh well. But I do still of course really like to wear my cycling gear and wetsuits. So I have posted two photos showing the best of best, lycra and my motorcycle helmet :).

Longest cycle so far this year (60 miles)…

blog Cycling 1 Comment

This is where I should really say I did my 4th weekly shopping in a two using my bike… but no, I was bad boy and used my car. Also did it on Sunday… But now looking at it, it worked out for the best or I would not have done  the 60 mile cycle that I did 🙂

Think it may we one of the longest, if not the longest single day cycle, I have done since the End 2 End cycle, but I would need to check all my cycling data, to be fully sure. But one thing I do know for sure, it’s the most miles I have done in a single but, if I don’t count August 2009, when I did the End 2 End cycle. If the weather plays nice, may end my miles up to 700 before the month is out! So that’s my next goal…

Here are the statistics from the cycle:-

  • Time: 4:30:57 (h:m:s).
  • Avg Speed: 13.3 mph.
  • Max Speed: 30 mph.
  • Calories: 2,719.
  • Elevation Gain: 492 metres.
  • Elevation Loss: 486 metres.
  • Min Elevation: 31 metres.
  • Max Elevation: 161 metres.

Some extra data from the cycle:-

Now done over 1,000 miles on the bike

blog Cycling No Comments

I have now done 1,040.9 miles of cycling so far this year!! Well pleased with myself, to think my aim was 1,000 miles before the 1st April. Still got another 9 days to go, till then. 1,040.9 may not sound much, it’s like cycling from John O’Groats to Land’s End, with a good number of miles to play with.

So now on to today’s cycle.  I did the longest cycle of the year so far… I did wait for it… 51.7 miles. Even did my best average speed of the year so far, with 13.8 mph.

Here are the statistics from the cycle:-

  • Time: 3:44:30 (h:m:s).
  • Avg Speed: 13.8 mph.
  • Max Speed: 30 mph.
  • Calories: 2,351.
  • Elevation Gain: 510 metres.
  • Elevation Loss: 509 metres.
  • Min Elevation: 43 metres.
  • Max Elevation: 164 metres.

Weekly shopping with my bike, yes again :)

blog Cycling No Comments

That’s me now done my weekly shopping using my bike for a third week in a row :P. So again saved £2.78 going by google. So now saved £8.34, so just need to do it again two times and will have saved around the same money I use on a average weeks shopping. This time I only had 4 kg in each pannier. Even with just 8 kg in total, you still notice it when going up the hill.

Here all the statistics for the cycle:-

  • Time: 1:06:14 (h:m:s).
  • Avg Speed: 13.5 mph.
  • Max Speed: 30.7 mph.
  • Elevation Gain: 122 metres.
  • Elevation Loss: 123 metres.
  • Min Elevation: 27 metres.
  • Max Elevation: 57 metres.

Also well pleased with myself set myself target of doing 1,000 miles on the bike, by the start of April. So far I have done 989.2, meaning I only have another 10.8 miles to go. Oh even better looks like this will be my first 500 mile+ month of the year. Done 414.5 so far.  So only got around 85.5 more to go. Which if the weather stays like this, I will have done by Friday 🙂

989.2

Had a great day cycling with a mate

blog Cycling 5 Comments

Today I met up with a friend that I have been chatting to on the net for year and years… But till today, never got around to meeting up. It was great to get to meet you at long last Mark.

While he was here, both both had good look around Stamford. When he first got here, we went to Marks & Spencer to get some food. Then after that we went cycle to Burghley House. Then we cycled to Tallington to watch some train go nice on the ECML. Then after that we did some more cycling around the place. Before cycling back to Stamford, where we stopped at The Tobie Norris, we were hopping to get there, but did not start food service till 6pm. So we just had a nice drink and chat there, before going to Ask, which was lucky doing food. Big thanks to Mark, for picking up the bill. I will make sure I pay the next time. Then after the meal, we cycled around for a bit longer before he got the train back down to London town. So thanks once again to Mark for a fun filled day.

If you want to see the full cycle we did. Here is the map from the cycle :).
