Done 113 miles in 2 days on the bike!

Cycling No Comments

All is good right now in the land of cycling. I have done 112.89 miles in just two days. I know of course during the summer. I could do a lot more than that in 2 days. I am still pleased with it. It’s really helped get my monthly total up. It now stands at 394 miles. Making it the second most miles, I have done in a single month this year.

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

Longest cycle ever in any March

Cycling 1 Comment

I am well pleased with myself. Just set a set record for the longest cycle, I have ever done in any March. I set the longest one last March (2011), at 60.1 miles. Today I did 65.4 miles! I would have loved to have done a longer one. But I had to get back home to look after next doors dogs.

First cycle after getting bike serviced

Cycling 2 Comments

Happy days, that’s me got my bike after it went to Terry Wright Cycles last Thursday (8th March 2012) for a much needed service. It’s so nice having fully working front and back breaks again. I just need to watch, since for the last 3 months or so, only the front one was doing anything at all. If I used them now, I would be straight over the handlebars which would not be a good thing. They also renewed the gears, which had been jumping like mad. The service came to total of £111.98.

I will now leave you with statistics from today’s short bike ride.

Route statistics:-

  • Distance: 20.71 miles.
  • Time: 1:36:13 (h:m:s).
  • Avg Speed: 12.9 mph.

  • Elevation Gain: 245 meters.

Bike gone in for a service

Cycling 3 Comments

At long last my bike has gone to Terry Wright Cycles for a much needed service. Turns out he’s not had a service since Monday – 20th December 2010. Just really hope it’s does not cost anywhere near as much, as last time. when it set me back £277.69. I am hoping more around to £100 to £150 this time. It will be great to have fully working breaks and gears again. It had gotten to the stage where my back break did not work at all. And my front break was getting ready to also give up :(.

Oh and in other news, at long last I have sent off my passport application form. Since I am going to my big brothers wedding in Cyprus during September.

Four county cycle

I ended up covering four counties while doing this cycle. I think the title short of gives that away! I covered Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire and Rutland. So not bad at all, for just a 41.77 mile cycle.

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

Longest cycle and warmish day of the year

Cycling 8 Comments

Since it was forecast to be the warmish day of the year so far. I had to make the most of it, by doing the longest cycle of the year! I have a feeling the weather forecast was correct, my phone was showing it was 16C. Which is very good for the UK, late February time.
