I love this sign, I found on A1 at Great Ponton, during today’s mini 30.26 mile. I have a feeling it’s not an official Highways Agency road sign!
Out cycling in the Orca S2 wetsuit
Yes I was out cycling in a wetsuit again! This time for a nice change, I put the Orca S2 on!!
Cycling and locked in my O’Neill Gooru wetsuit
Before setting off on today’s cycle. I put on my O’Neill Gooru F.U.Z.E GBS 2mm long Sleeve Spring Suit. Then added a padlock, leaving the key at home!! So I had no way off getting out of the wetsuit, till I was back home!
Here are some photos taken during the cycle. In which you can clearly see the padlock.

Maybe the last white lycra cycle of 2013!
This maybe the last time, I go out cycling in my sexy Pearl Izumi Team Garmin-Chipotle team kit this year. Mainly since I am going on holiday on Wednesday and I am not back till the 6th October. By which point the weather, will have not doubt started to get much colder and wetter :(.

End to End cycle photos on flickr
Can’t believe it was way back in August 2009, that I did the End to End cycle. So just over 4 years ago. Now for the first time ever, you can view the full sized photos from the cycle on my flickr account at www.flickr.com/photos/gsvalentine/sets/72157626244100664/.
Looking at all these photos. Really makes me want to do the End to End cycle again! Just need to find some fit lads to do it with me!! Any offers???

My 17 year bike, just had only it’s second full service
Believe it or not. The bike that I have had for 17 years has just had, what I believe is only it’s second ever full service. It only cost £92.99, which I am very happy with indeed. Feels so nice having a fully working bike again. It’s even got fully working back and back breaks for the first time in god knows how long! Big thanks to Terry Wright Cycles for keeping it on the road. So who knows, maybe for another 17 years :).
I give it a quick test cycle tonight. I did a whole 12.1 miles on it. Which is also the first cycle, I have done since Wednesday 23rd October, which is a long time ago for me.
