First cycle back from work of 2017!

cycle route Cycling 1 Comment

Since I cycled to work, I of course had to cycle back home again… last year, I always left my bike at work, then got a lift back the next day. So always cycled home in daylight! So it’s the first, time I’ve cycled back from work at night, in 2 years! Lucky since, I last did it! I’ve got a much better front light again!

First cycle to work of 2017!

cycle route Cycling 5 Comments

That’s me just done the first cycle to work of 2017! Normally don’t even think about doing it, till May or June time! But my car got a flat tire on the way to work on Friday. So using the spire tire right now, which means. I can only go a MAX speed of 50 mph. Try driving down the A1 at that speed and see how many BEEP at you!

Hoping to get it fixed Monday or Tuesday this week! But at least, it give me a good reason to cycle to work! The first of many times this year, I am sure!

Another good cycle, this time Rutland Water

cycle route Cycling 1 Comment

That was another great cycle! This time, I cycled from home around Rutland Water via Oakham! Also my second 30+ mile cycle of the week! Now at 93.1 miles so far this week! So will hit the first 100 mile week, so far this year!

But still got a lot, more to do this month! Right now, only done 127.5 miles when my goal for the month is at least 425.8 miles! I doubt, I will make it! But I will see what I can do!

Had fun looking at the Grantham Southern Relief Road

cycle route Cycling No Comments

That was a great cycle! The longest of the year so far, at 34.13 miles. Also had a look at the first part of the Grantham Southern Relief Road. Which will take the A52 away from the town centre. But it’s a good number of years away from opening! Which now, it’s just a road to nowhere! But believe, they will be linking it up the A1 next. With work staring at some point this year.

But since it’s not open at all right now, to traffic. I had a good look around and also took some photos!

Crow Road and the Stockiemuir cycle

blog cycle route Cycling 2 Comments

That truly was an amazing cycle! First time, I’ve done in Scotland in a long time! This route, more than made for not cycling in Scotland for a good number of years!

The cycle took me from Killearn to Balfron, then to Fintry then over the Crow Road! Then into Strathblane, up onto the Stockiemuir then back into Killearn via Gartness Road!

Check out the killer hills the route took me over at www.strava.com/activities/725740790.

Longest cycle on the new bike…

cycle route Cycling No Comments

That’s me not long back in from doing the longest cycle on the bike so far! I did 36.45 miles! I would have liked to have done over 40 miles! But all the rain, wind and even the hail was starting to do my head in! It’s feeling more like February, than late April! I am normally out in my shorts by now! It’s still way, way to cold for that!!
