Longest cycle of October 2012 so far…

I have done 244.2 miles so far this month. Making it the most ever miles I have done in any October, well since I started keeping a full log away.  Oh and believe it or not this the first time I have ever cycling right into Oakham. I need to make sure I do it again, it’s a nice wee Market Town to look around.

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

Route map:-

The dark blue section of the route, shows new roads I covered during the cycle. That was myself looking for Tesco. Which I could remember that Oakham had one, but was not to sure where it was, since I have only been once and that was maybe 4+ years ago.
