03-Jun-2015: Maybe the best speed ever on my bike!

OMG! So happy with the speed I got up to, on my bike! Got it up to 39.6 mph. Don’t think, I have ever gone so fast on my bike! Don’t even think, I got up to that speed during the End to End cycle! The hill I used was not even that big! Watch the video!! Which I will post later…

I will now leave you with the route map, elevation graph and route statistics.

27-May-2015 : A nice mini 21 mile cycle!

At long, long last. Think I can say I’ve got the cycling bug again!! Starting to get the miles in at long last! So far done 246.93 miles this month. So only got to do another 10.8 miles and I will have done more than in May of last year

Still got a hell of a lot of catching up to do! By time, last year. I had already done 2,329.2 miles. So far, I’ve only done 692.8 miles. So in another words, I am down 1,636.4 miles on this time, last year!!

So today, I only did 21.13 miles! But every bit helps!!

26-May-2015 : Four county’s cycle

Since I cycled in three county’s yesterday. Wanted to go one better and take in four this time! I started off in Lincolnshire, the county I live in. Also covered Rutland, Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire. They are in no order at all. Since I went in and out of both Rutland and Lincolnshire a number of times.

During this cycle I covered 37.16 miles. Making it the longest cycle of the month so far! So just have hope, the weather is also good, this Thursday. Since it’s the last chance, I have the time, to get a long cycle in!

I will now leave you with the route map, elevation graph and route statistics.

I this a three county’s cycle. Since I started off in, Lincolnshire, the county I live in. Then ended up in Leicestershire for a bit, followed by Rutland, then back into Lincolnshire.

18-Feb-2015 : Starting to get back into cycling!

At long last, think I have got the cycling bug back! Did 23.13 miles, which takes my monthly total to 61.97 miles. Which is still not great, but much better than it was! They are saying it will rain tomorrow. So that, will be the real test! Will or won’t get out a cycle, that is the question!!!??

17-Feb-2015 : First good cycle of the year

Hoping that at long last this year, I am going to start getting back into cycling. So far this year, I have only done 82 miles. When normally by now, I’ve done at least 500 miles. So this month, I am going to have to try to get more of miles in. Which is not going to be easy. Since more than half the month is already gone. And I’ve only done one cycle! But at least at 38.84 miles, it was a good one! 🙂

26-Aug-2014 : Great 60 miles on the bike!

That turned out to be a great 60 mile cycle on the bike. Very pleased with the number of miles I did, since when I set off my goal was only 40 miles. Just not so happy with the average speed of only 11.9 mph. Then it was a bit on the windy side for most of the cycle.

I will now leave you with the route map, route statistics and photos.
