Just done my weekly shopping with my bike again :)

blog Cycling No Comments

Well pleased with myself, just down my weekly shopping on my bike, for the second week in a row :). So saved around £2.78 going by google. So in just two weeks I have saved £5.56. It may not sound much, but it will soon add up very fast indeed. This time I also worked out how much weight I had in each pannier on the way back. In the right one I had 7 kg and in the left 5 kg. So 12 kg in total, which you do really notice when going up hills.

Here all the statistics for the cycle:-

  • Time: 1:07:11 (h:m:s).
  • Avg Speed: 13.3 mph.
  • Max Speed: 31 mph.
  • Elevation Gain: 122 metres.
  • Elevation Loss: 123 metres.
  • Min Elevation: 27 metres.
  • Max Elevation: 57 metres.

Adding GPS data to photos…

blog website No Comments

I have just found some very good software called free GeoSetter that lets you add GPS data to photos.  If you think what is the point of that, then check out www.gordon-valentine.com/zenphoto/me/2011/p3080169.jpg.html and you will see a google map under the photo, showing where it was taken. So far only done three photos, but over time I will do more and more… The first set, I will be doing is all the ones taken during the 2009 End2End cycle.

Longest cycle so far this year (40 miles)…

blog Cycling No Comments

Well pleased with myself, just done my first 40 mile cycle of the year. I was aiming to do 40 miles on Sunday, but I paused my GPS to go into a shop, but forgot to restart it. So I was not fully sure how many miles I had done, so by the time I had added on the section, the GPS did not have the data for, I was short by just 1.11 miles.

So I had to make up for it…. Now my next goal is a 50 mile cycle before the month is out :).

Cycle statistics:-

  • Time: 3:05:12 (h:m:s).
  • Distance: 40.18 miles.
  • Calories: 1,802.
  • Avg Speed: 13.0 mph.
  • Max Speed: 29.3 mph.
  • Elevation Gain: 359 metres.
  • Min Elevation: 44 metres.
  • Max Elevation: 165 metres.

Did my weekly shopping using me bike :)

blog Cycling 1 Comment

I did my weekly shopping using just my bike today. Which may not sound very good at all, but when you take into account, it’s a 14.88 mile round trip. With a good number of hills in between my village and Stamford. Getting there is nice and easy since I had no extra weight on my bike to worry about. On the way back I did notice it just a wee bit. Bt after doing the end2end cycle the weight was nothing at all. I had at least 3 times that when doing that cycle. I used my Arkel XM45 Extreme Mountain Touring Panniers that I got for doing the end2nd cycle. Going by google I saved around £2.78, which is not bad at all. So well pleased with that. It would will soon add up.

Here all the statistics for the cycle:-

  • Time: 1:06:18 (h:m:s).
  • Distance: 14.88 miles.
  • Avg Speed: 13.5 mph.
  • Max Speed: 28.4 mph.
  • Elevation Gain: 122 metres.
  • Elevation Loss: 123 metres.
  • Min Elevation: 27 metres.
  • Max Elevation: 57 metres.

Going to try only to cycle everywhere in June

blog Cycling Driving 5 Comments

I have just set myself a new goal for this year and that is not 2 use my car once in the whole of June. Going to try to cycle everywhere, right now it costs around £40 every two weeks on fuel, just getting to and from work and doing my weekly shopping. So in other words around £100 every month on fuel. That’s with the fuel prices at the “low” £131.9 they are at now. By June I bet it will be around £140.9 is not higher.

Do you think I can do it?? Comment below….

Sorry about the website downtime

website 3 Comments

Sorry about the website down time, was off-line for around12 hours. Some how the domain servers changed themselves. They changed from the 34sp.com ones to servers that I get the domain name from. No idea how it happened. Waiting for a email back from Freeparking, to say how it happened. But at the same time want to thank them for fixing it so fast, once I had worked out, what happened in the first place.
