At long last got around to posting my first vlog since July. This is only a short one, I will record and upload a longer one later today.

Cycle goals for 2012
Last year my main cycling goal was to do 5,000 miles. Which I am pleased to say I did. This year I have set myself lots of smaller goals.
Here is a list of them. I am sure this list will just grow and grow.
- Cycle at least 4,500 miles this year.
- Do at least two 100 mile bike rides.
- Aim for a 125 mile one.
- Set off on a cycle every hour between 9am and 11pm.
- Beat every months longest cycle, that I set last year.
- Do the Rest and Be Thankful road (A83) in Scotland.
If you have set any cycling goals this year, I would love to hear about them. Add your comments to this post PLEASE :).
Second cycle of 2012
That’s me just done my second cycle of 2012. I did 19.08 miles, so a bit better than I did yesterday. My average speed was much better it was 13.4 mph. When it was only 12.6 mph, the other day.
You will be pleased to hear I was only wearing tight cycling gear, no trousers over the top of my cycling shorts. Since I broke the button just above the fly zip. So they don’t stay up :(. But right now, my loss is your gain. But I would make the most of it, while you can. I have ordered some new one’s from Chain Reaction Cycles, which should turn up later this week.
I will leave you with cycling statistics from today’s ride.
- Distance: 19.08 miles.
- Time: 1:25:26 (h:m:s).
- Avg Speed: 13.4 mph.
- Max Speed: 26.8 mph.
- Elevation Gain: 165 meters.
Data from: Garmin Connect.

First cycle of 2012
That’s me just done my very first cycle of the year :). I did a whole 17.7 miles so only 4,48.2.3 miles till I get to this years goal of 4,500. Yes I know that’s less than last year. But I think that 5,000 miles in one year was a one off. But who knows.
I will leave you with cycling statistics from today’s ride.
- Distance: 17.7 miles.
- Time: 1:24:17 (h:m:s).
- Avg Speed: 12.6 mph.
