I was a wee bit bored today, so had some back in the back garden taken new photos of myself :). They say it’s summer, it does not feel like it. Max of like 17C here today. So did not get any cycling done again today :(. So taken these new photos give me something to do :D.
Hope you all enjoy these new photos. Can’t wait to read, your comments about them!
You may remember me saying a while back, that I was planned not to use my car the whole of June. Well it’s off to a start great. I cycled to and from work for the first time this year :). So let’s hope the weather stays like this for the whole of June. Well at the next number of days are looking after good. So I WILL be cycling to and from work again this Friday and Saturday.
So here are the statistics from both cycles:-

My new Rabobank Cycling Team kit that I ordered from Wiggle on Wednesday turned on today. I am well pleased with it! Feel so nice on, can’t wait to get out cycling in it. Was hoping to later today, but it’s gone very, very windy again.
Here are the first ever photos of myself wearing it.

I have just gone and spent £133.50 on some new cycling gear :). Been after some new gear for a while. So after asking people on Facebook what I should get, lots of people said I should get the Rabobank team kit. Also lots of straight lads from work said I should get it. So that will be a first for me, having straight lads telling me what gear to get! Just hope I look half has good in it, as Theo Bos does :).

So happy my village has a new shop called “The No.10 Store”. It had it’s opening party on Saturday. But today been the first time, I have been inside. It’s very nice indeed. Also great that I no longer need to cycle to the next village of Castle Bytham to get milk and other stuff.
Sorry it’s been a slow news day!
Oh dear, oh dear, I have gone back into my bad old ways and not been getting this website up-to-date again. When I do it, please will you all tell me off! Then maybe that way, I will keep it updated more.
So now on with today’s news. I went down to Cambridge to see my friends Jaco and Namir.
We all had a great time, first we all went into Cambridge City centre to get some food. We went to Pizza Hut.
Then I am sure if you follow me on Twitter. You will know that, with all the Foursquare updates I was posting to it. The food in Pizza Hut was lot better than it was the last time I went, but the service was still a bit on the shit time. So no tip for them at all.hen after food, we all went a nice walk around Cambridge. We were all good and did not buy anything at all.
Then it was back to there place, to just chill out, chat and watch TV.
It was a great day, thanks so much to Jaco and Namir for putting up with me for the day.
The plan was do around 35 miles on the bike today. But some how that turned into a 61 mile cycle. I cycled so far, I ended up cycling into Nottinghamshire. First time I have ever done that from Litttle Bytham. So well pleased with myself.
Here is a nice map of today’s 61 mile bike ride.
So pleased with myself, just done the longest cycle of the year, also one of the longest ones I have ever done. Would be the longest if you don’t count the End 2 End cycle, where I did 89 miles in one day. So now on with some of the statistics from the cycle.
Here is a nice map of the full cycle. Which does really give you an idea of just how long 64 miles really is.
Here are some photos from the cycle:-
