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.

Cycle miles now stands at 2,818.5

Cycling 1 Comment

I have now done 2,818.5 miles on the bike so far this year. So it’s now the second most miles I have ever done in single year on the bike. I only have last years record 4,001.3 miles to bet. So I have to do 1,182.8 miles to bet that record. Which I am more than sure I can do. I had set myself a target for 5,000 miles so year. I can’t see myself getting that high now. But I will be more than happy if I get to 4,500 miles :).

Just done a 70 mile bike ride

blog Cycling 1 Comment

Just done the longest cycle of the year. Just to think when I set off I was only planning to do 40 miles. If you don’t End 2 End cycle, that I did in 2009. It’s now the longest single day cycle I have ever done :). So well pleased with myself. So now on with some of the statistics from the cycle.

  • Distance: 70.02 miles.
  • Time: 5:13:16 (h:m:s).
  • Avg Speed: 13.4 mph.
  • Max Speed: 28.1 mph.
  • Elevation Gain: 544 meters.
  • Elevation Loss: 543 meters
  • Min Elevation: 9 meters.
  • Max Elevation: 164 meters.

Here is a nice map of the full cycle. Which does really give you an idea of just how long 70 miles really is.

Here is the data from June 2011:-

  • Total cycles: 23.

I am sure you will have also worked out that not used the car in the whole of June never happened :(. But I am still more than happy with what I did. Since I only did 192.6 more miles in the car, than I did on the bike. I used the car for 649.5 miles and the bike for 456.9 miles.
