Is cycling in a wetsuit a good idea? Tune in, to find out.
2XU A:1 Active wetsuit + handcuffs
It’s about time, my handcuffs come out to play again! So I cuffed myself while wearing the 2XU A:1 Active wetsuit! Just wish, a cute lad, would cuff them behind my back!
Railway stations : 02-Nov-2018
I’ve just been looking through old railway tickets and just found out. I can add the following stations to my list.
- Dalmuir
- Pollokshaws West
- Welling
It also turns, out the very time first, I went to Oban by train was, way back on 21st September 1996. For two adults and children it was only £35! Wish it was that price now! Oh and also included the ferry over to Mull.

Still one cycling PR, I need to beat!
There is one, cycling PR, I would love to beat and that is the biggest elevation gain in a single cycle!
Right now that stands at 1,634 metres. Which I set while doing the End to End cycle on day 8, which took me from Carlisle to Slaidburn!
You can check out the route at connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/11905861 and www.strava.com/activities/445506922.
Another wetsuit cycle! Only 11.31 miles this time…
That’s me just done yet another wetsuited cycle! This time, it was only a short 11.31 miles! Even with wearing the wetsuit, I was feeling cool. Mainly due to the wind chill.
Like always, you can check out the route, I took over at www.strava.com/activities/1935861754.
