5,000 miles! Job done :)

Cycling 10 Comments

I am, so pleased with myself. I have just, only gone and cycled 5,000 miles this year. Which was my goal for the year. Meaning I have done a whole 1,000 more miles this year, than I did last year (2010). Before anyone asks. No I will not be setting a goal of 6,000 miles for next year.

Since it was a bit on the cold side. I did the last 25.5 miles that I needed to do wearing a wetsuit. A photo of me geared up can be see to the right. More from the set can be found @ www.gordon-valentine.com/zenphoto/me/2011/page/18/.

I will leave you with cycling statistics from today’s ride.

  • Distance: 25.67 miles.
  • Time: 1:59:47 (h:m:s).
  • Avg Speed: 12.9 mph.
  • Max Speed: 25.5 mph.
  • Elevation Gain: 220 meters.

One day into December and set a new record

blog Cycling No Comments

We’re just one day into December and I have set a new record for the longest cycle I have ever done in December. It was only 29.26 mile’s which during the summer would be nothing at all. During the winter, the cold always stops me from doing so many mile’s and so does the lack of day light. Since it gets dark right now before 4pm.

I have also now done the second most miles, I have ever done in December. Only need to do another 28.2 miles to bet last years record.

Only 332.8 miles till 5,000 cycling

blog Cycling 1 Comment

I only have 332.8 miles left to do this year, then I can say I have done 5,000 miles on the bike in one year. I WILL make it, well that’s if the weather plays ball. I would be pissed off if I only missed 5,000 by lets say 200 miles.

Oh and now I have fully working Internet. It’s time I make up for lost time. And get posting new photos, vlogs etc. So here are the two photos from today’s cycle.

Cristiano Ronaldo looking extra sexy

blog 1 Comment

OMG this has to be the best ever photo, of Cristiano Ronaldo. I was bored so was looking around on flickr to see what new photos, I could find of him. I came across this photo. Maybe not the best wording to use, but you get my point. Now why can’t they play football dressed like this? I am sure lots more people would watch it :).

This photo also reminds me why he’s number 1 on my top sexy men page.
