The main thing I did today was to go out a nice long(ish) cycle. I did 19.49 miles, with a average speed of 13.1 mph, maximum speed was 31.4 mph and it took me 1:28.45 (h:m:s).

Job done! Now done just over 4,000 on my bike this year 🙂
Got my bike back at long, last! The service/rebuild come to a total of £277.69. A lot more than I was planning, but at least I have him back now. So that’s the main thing. Can’t wait till tomorrow to take him, out for a spin. Was hoping go out a spin today, which it’s been so cold, not gone above -6C all day. So really hope that Terry Wright Cycles have done a good done in fixing him. Now only got 17.9 miles till I hit the 4,000 mile mark. Only got two miles till I go to Scotland. Would be well pissed off, if I missed 4,000 by just 17.9 miles.
At long last taken my bike to the local bike shop for a much needed service. It’s at least going to need the break break fixing, new back wheel and tire. Also half of the gears don’t work. I can see it costing between £100 to £150 to get it all fixed. Saying that, that’s not too bad, since it’s never had a service in the whole time I’ve had it. Must have done at least 7,000 miles since getting it. Just hope that Terry Wright Cycles do a good job of fixing it. Can’t wait to get it back. Since I now have less than 20 miles to go, then I will have done 4,000 miles this year 🙂
Showing just how many layers of cycling gear I wear to keep warm during winter.
Well pleased with myself, after today’s cycle, I can now say I have done 1,003.4 more miles than I did last year 🙂 The years total now stands at 3,689 miles. So who knows, I may make it up to 4,000 miles before the year is out 🙂
I went a fun cycle with my friends Ashley and Rich. We cycled from Peterborough to Huntingdon covering a distance of 46.35 miles. The cycle took us 3:31:52 (h:m:s). It was great fun, makes a change getting to cycle with people, since most times I cycle by myself.
Not really done much at all. I was really hoping to get out a one last cycle, before the drive back to England tomorrow. But it was so, cold I soon changed my mind. Think it was like 8C here in Killearn at the most. They was also lots of fog about, so made it feel even colder. Then I did get in two very good cycles, did a total of 56 miles, so I guess it’s not all bad. Also the cycles up here are so much better than the ones I do in England, so many more things to look at it! And some killer hills to cycle up 🙂
Anyway….. bed time for me!! Got a long old drive in the morning.
Today I went a great cycle from Killearn to Rowardennan on the east side in Loch Lomond. I may have lived in Killearn well over half my life, but it’s the first time I have ever cycled to Rowardennan, most times, I just cycled to Balmaha and turned back, mainly since just after Balmaha, they’re is a 15% hill to get up. Also the road just ends at Rowardennan. So it’s like cycling up a road to no where. Just got a car park for the people walking up Ben Lomond and hotel.
