About gsvalentine

I am a 45-year-old guy, who lives in Melton Mowbray, in the East Midlands, England. I was born in Lancashire, England, during 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.

I am so happy, I made it the whole way The Wash for the very first time! If you have no what The Wash is, then check out en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wash. Only bad thing is go all that way and can’t see any water! Still at least I can say I have made it. Been on my list of cycles for a number of years now!

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