Updated VeloViewer map : 12-July-2020

That’s me just updated the VeloViewer map. I’ve filled in a good number of new squares, since I last posted the map on 6th July 2020. Cycled all the way out to the A47 and also into Northamptonshire for the first time this year!

Second 40+ mile cycle of 2020

Happy days! Just back in from my second 40+ mile cycle of 2020! Well in fact, my longest cycle of the year, I did 43.68 miles. Which I’am more than pleased with! Next goal is to do 50 miles, so I can say I’ve done my first half century ride of the year.

Only bad thing about the cycle, was getting my first puncture of the year! Took me like 30 minutes, just getting the tire off the wheel! It was like, it had been glued on! Which of course, it wasn’t! Just not the tire off, in well over a year! Just so glad it was the front tire.

So many bridleways around here!

Since they are so many great bridleways around here, about time I started cycling on them! Since I’ve just about covered most of easy local roads. By going onto bridleways it, open ups every more of local countryside!
