03-Feb-2013 : Yet another very windy cycle

The weather so far this year has not really been the best for cycling. First it was snow, then the ice that followed. Then for the last number of days, it’s been very, very windy. So only did just over 23 miles today. Looking at the weather the snow is coming back later this week. So I best get all the cycling done, before that happens. Really need to get the miles in this month to catch up on some of the miles I lost, last month.

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

29-Jan-2013 : Longest cycle of January 2013 so far!

That’s more like it. Just beating my longest January cycle ever. Which I set on Sunday 29th January 2012. Which happens to be 1 year ago today. I only just worked that out, when looked at my cycle log.  Also happy now my total for this month is looking much better! Still way, way down on January 2012. But much better than I was doing two days ago!!

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

28-Jan-2013 : First wetsuited cycle of 2013!

Well pleased with myself. At first I was not going to do any cycling at all today, due to strong winds. When I checked the wind speed before setting up is was showing wind speeds of 60 mph. But since my miles so far this month has been very, very low. Due to having about 2 week of no cycling due to snow and ice. I made up my mind, to hell if it and went out! I ended up doing the longish cycle of the year so far. I did 28.94 miles, but my avg speed was a bit on the slow side, to the very strong head winds.

It also happens to be my first wetsuited cycle of the year!! The wind was so cold, I so glad I had it on!

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