Here is some more great news if you have Freesat. The Box, Heat, Kiss, Kerrang, Magic and Smash Hits are currently available without a Sky subscription and can now be tuned in on Freesat receivers in non-Freesat mode.
There still is no indication so far as to whether these are planning to join the Freesat EPG. So right now can only be viewed in non-Freesat mode.

I know this vlog is very old indeed! Filmed it back in July 2008. While Mike and myself were in train for the End to End cycle. It was hosted on our join YouTube channel, which Mike deleted it, without asking me! So was about about time I re-uploaded it to my own YouTube channel!
Watch our vlog, to see if we made it all the way to London…

Since it was a another cold night here in the UK and all my winter cycling gear was in the wash. I went out cycling a wetsuit and motorcycle helmet :).
Here are my cycling statistics for March 2013. I am very pleased with how many miles I did. Since I was bike less for the first 9 days of March. Which also meant I had next to no way of beating last March’s total. Which was 602 miles. So I am, 135.2 miles down on what I did in March last year.
So far my yearly stands at 1,111.3 miles. Total miles since April 2003 is now at 28,026.6. Hoping to get that over 30K by July!
