Well October ended up being a great month for cycling! Made even better by the fact, I got myself a new bike! Great having a bike with fully working breaks and gears!

See told you! Getting a new bike, means I will be out cycling a lot more wearing sexy wetsuits!

Well now that I have a bike that is fully working order. I can start to get them miles in at long last! Plus since it’s getting much colder, means I can start wearing a wetsuit while out cycling again!

Loving my new bike! I got it on Thursday 12th October. Then I had to wait for new pedals to turn up! They had been due to turn up way before the new bike! At first, I was told it would be around Monday 23rd October, till I would get it!
So I was over the moon, when I got an email from Rutland Cycles. saying it would turn up way before that!
So far, very pleased with it! Just going to take a while getting use to it! Not had a mountain bike in years!

So glad, my bike has been fixed now and had a full service!
Here is what he looked like, before it got fixed! Sorry my bike is male, why would I want to ride a female! LOL!
Here is what, he looks like now! Just like having a new bike again! 🙂
Can’t believe it was a year ago today, that I got the Specialized Crosstrail Sport Disc ’16 from Edinburgh Bicycle Co-Operative. Of course, I need to thank my Mum once again for getting it for me! Since getting him, he’s done 4,467.8 miles! Not been serviced once in that time! Which I do really need to change!
I will leave you with some photos of him! 🙂
That’s me not long back in from doing the longest cycle on the bike so far! I did 36.45 miles! I would have liked to have done over 40 miles! But all the rain, wind and even the hail was starting to do my head in! It’s feeling more like February, than late April! I am normally out in my shorts by now! It’s still way, way to cold for that!!
I will now leave you with the route map, elevation graph, route statistics and photos.

At long last, I got out my first ride on my new bike. I got my Specialized Crosstrail Sport Disc ’16 on Tuesday from Edinburgh Bicycle Co-Operative. But I’ve had a cold/flu but thing most of the week! So going out on it, would not have been a good idea! But so pleased, I’ve got to use it at long last!
I went for a 22.81 mile cycle ride! Making it the longest Saturday ride, I’ve done this year so far! Think I’ve already, falling in love with it!
