Last cycle of 2016!!

WOW! Can’t believe that’s the last cycle of 2016 done! Can’t believe just how fast the year has gone! Only feels like yesterday is was 2006! Back to the cycle, I did 19.38 miles. Which takes my monthly total to 321.3 miles. Total for the year 4,583.8, which is 2,993.6 more miles that I did last year! Which shows just how bad 2015, was cycling wise!

You can check out the route of the cycle, along with stats @ www.strava.com/activities/808310380.

First good cycle of August 2016!

That worked out being a good cycle! Even with how windy it was for the cycle! Set 6 new PRs on Strava, which I am very pleased with! Also did just over 40 miles, so of course, making it the longest cycle of the month so far!

Prudential RideLondon FreeCycle 2016

I had so much fun doing the Prudential RideLondon FreeCycle. I did the very first back in 2013! But had not been again since now! I loved it! The weather could not have been better! Was great seeing so many other cyclists out! I be be for sure going again next year!

Here is a speeded for video of the cycle! I start the ride from King’s Cross station, then via various roads, before cycling down Oxford Street and Regent Street before meeting up with the FreeCycle route at Trafalgar Square.

Now done 603.8 miles this month!!

That’s me now done 603.8 miles of cycling this month!!!!!! Well pleased with that! But still got a long way, to go! Need to end this month on at least 777 miles! To get my “July Distance Challenge” trophy this month on Strava!

But at least, I got my “July Climbing Challenge” trophy, which means I’ve climbed over 8,000 meters!

Getting so close to 600 miles!!

I am getting so close to doing 600 miles of cycling this month! Right now my total stands at 575.6 miles! So just 24.4 miles to go, then I will have done 600 miles!! Last time, I did over 600 miles in a single month, was way back in July 2014! When I did 705.2 miles! Really hoping, I do can do more than that!!

Really hoping that I can get the “July Distance Challenge” trophy this month on Strava! To get that, I need to have done 1,250km (776.714 miles). So still got another 202 miles left to do this month!!!

Getting closer to 200 miles!!

Getting extra close to 200 miles of cycling in a single week! Right, I am at 130.9 miles! So got to do another 69.1 miles between now and Sunday! Which works out at around 24 miles, per day! So should be easy to do!!

Also think, many more sexy Lycra photos, I can take during that time!! 🙂

Oh and remember to follow me at www.strava.com/athletes/gsvalentine. If your cycling stats are not on strava, it did not happen! FACT!!!

That’s another 30 miles done!

I am doing so far this week on the bike! Every cycle so far this week has been 30 miles, or just over! So now weekly total now stand at 95.3. Which is good, since my goal for the week is only 110 miles!

Since I’ve started using Strava, it’s really helped me get back into cycling! Since, I can set weekly goals, join monthly challenges, have fun setting new PR when doing segments! Plus of course, see what people I am following are up to!
