5,000 miles! Job done :)

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.

Data from: Garmin Connect.

Got Freesat? Then here is some great news :)

Great news for anyone like myself living in the UK, who’s got Freeesat. They are adding another 5 channels to their line up :).

The extra channels are Channel 5 +1 (128), 5USA (129), 5USA +1 (130), 5* (131) and 5* +1 (132).

I have no idea why people pay $ky lots and lots of money, when you can have Freeesat for nothing and it’s even got 5 free HD channels.
