First 50 mile cycle of 2014

Well pleased with myself. Just done the first 50+ mile cycle of 2014. That also makes it the longest cycle I have ever done in any January :). Also I have ready done more so far this month, than I did in January last year.

Still got a hell of a lot of miles left to do, if I want to overtake last years record number of miles. Got 5939.5 miles left to do!!

Cycling wise December 20013 is off to a great start!

That’s December of to flying start cycling wise! Did 40.99 miles. Which may not start a lot. But in the whole of December in the following years I only did:-

  • 2004 – 12.9 miles.
  • 2005 – 17.6 miles.
  • 2006 – 12.1 miles.
  • 2007 – 4.5 miles.
  • 2008 – 27.1 miles.

So when you look at it that way, 40.99 miles is a good long cycle :).

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

Cycled to and from work at long last!!

At long last I have gotten around to cycling to and from work for the first time this year! So in other words a 46 mile round trip! It’s taken so long to get around to it this year. Mainly due to the fact, I did not have a pannier rack, fixed to my new bike. Only got around to installing it last Saturday for the Prudential RideLondon FreeCycle.

So now I have have to hope we have great weather for the rest of August and September. So I can do it many times and save lots of money! By not having to use my car so much!

Updated the cycle route section

Over the past 24 to 48 hours I have been working like mad giving the cycle route section a much needed update. Never been fully happy with it, since the new version of the website went live last year.

The new look includes photos from each cycle. Well ones that I have photos from anyway. The maps have been changed from the satellite view to map view. I have also been adding elevation data. Also added new routes, which I have listed below.

New routes:-
