About gsvalentine

I am a 35-year-old guy, who lives in Stamford, in the East Midlands, England. I was born in Chorley, Lancashire, England, on the 29th September 1979. Most people don’t believe me that I was born in England due to my strong Scottish accent. My star sign is Libra. I am 5’9” tall, 30″ waist, with blonde hair, which is sometimes short, sometimes long. I have light brown eyes. Which most people think are very sexy. I just don’t see it, myself.

First cycle of July 2020

cycling 1 Comment

Well that’s me just done my first cycle of July 2020! Yep it’s really July ready, where has the year gone?!?! But got to say, will be glad once this year is over!

It was only a short cycle of 12.61 miles. But after doing 41.62 miles yesterday, more than pleased with that total! My legs after that cycle felt great, just not my hands. So ordered myself some gloves. Not had cycling ones, in a good number of years! So time, I fixed that!

You can check out the route over at www.strava.com/activities/3698367916

Oh and yes, I was back in my favourite skinsuit again! Don’t worry, it’s been washed a good number of times now!! 🙂
