First 50+ mile cycle of 2016!

At long last, I’ve just done the first 50+ mile cycle of the year! Let’s hope it’s the first of many! Also really hoping, I do at least one 100 mile cycle this year! Not done one of them, in a number of years!

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

Longest cycle on the new bike…

That’s me not long back in from doing the longest cycle on the bike so far! I did 36.45 miles! I would have liked to have done over 40 miles! But all the rain, wind and even the hail was starting to do my head in! It’s feeling more like February, than late April! I am normally out in my shorts by now! It’s still way, way to cold for that!!

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

I am so pleased! Did my first 40+ mile cycle of the year! In fact I did 42.25 miles. Which takes my monthly total up to 77.48 miles. Which is not bad for just 3 days into the month!

I also did some more geocaching during the cycle. I found another 6, which takes my total finds up to 240.

Good 20 mile cycle with some Geocaching

That’s me just done another good cycle, this time I did 20.89 miles. Which takes my monthly total to 166.6 miles. So in other words over double the number that I did in January of last year!

During the cycle, I also did some Geocaching. I found 3 during the cycle, which it more than in the last number of year put together!

02-Jul-2015: First cycle of the month!

I was hoping to get out yesterday for a cycle. But had to wait till today! Yesterday the temperature in my part of the UK got up to 35C, which if you ask me, is just way to hot for cycling in!

So today, I did 34.10 miles on the bike. Which I am more than happy with! But this month cycling wise is going to be hard work! Since in July of last year, I did 705.2 miles! I need to get a hell of a lot of miles in this month!!

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

29-Jun-2015: That was a good 30 mile cycle!

That was a good cycle! Even found a new road, I’ve always past and never noticed it before! I only did 30 miles, I was hoping to do more. But had to get back to pick a mate up from the train station.

So far this year, I’ve only done 1,056.8 miles. By this time last year, it was 2,730.5. So I am 1,673.7 miles down! On the same point last year! Can’t see me making them number of miles up, before the end of the year! 🙁
