Since they are so many great bridleways around here, about time I started cycling on them! Since I’ve just about covered most of easy local roads. By going onto bridleways it, open ups every more of local countryside!

That’s me just updated the VeloViewer map. I’ve filled in a good number of new squares, since I last posted the map on 15th June 2020.

That’s me now done 98% of #walk1000miles. So 981.11 miles down and only 18.89 miles remaining! Had been hoping to have completed it by today… Now looking like Wednesday or Thursday next week.
Since I started doing the #walk1000miles challenge back in 2018. This will be earlyish in year, I have completed it! In 2018, I walked 1000 miles by the 30th August. Last year, took me much longer, was not done till the 17th October.

First some bad news… Getting made redundant, after working at same place for 16 years! In better news, really getting them cycling and walking miles in! Also speak about walk 1000 miles.
Well that’s me just done my first cycle of July 2020! Yep it’s really July ready, where has the year gone?!?! But got to say, will be glad once this year is over!
It was only a short cycle of 12.61 miles. But after doing 41.62 miles yesterday, more than pleased with that total! My legs after that cycle felt great, just not my hands. So ordered myself some gloves. Not had cycling ones, in a good number of years! So time, I fixed that!

Oh and yes, I was back in my favourite skinsuit again! Don’t worry, it’s been washed a good number of times now!! 🙂
