I am sure by now, you will have seen the photos from my fourth of the year in a wetsuit. Now here is the vlog to go with them :).
Thunder and Lightning = wetsuit cycling
It was Thunder and Lightning on and off most of the day. Which to most people would mean a day indoors. But to me, that means putting a wetsuit on and getting out on the bike and getting extra wet :).
Here some photos from the cycle. I did hope to get more. But I did not want the camera getting any more wet than it already had.
I also filmed a vlog, which I will try to get on-line in the next number of days.
Cycle miles now stands at 2,818.5
I have now done 2,818.5 miles on the bike so far this year. So it’s now the second most miles I have ever done in single year on the bike. I only have last years record 4,001.3 miles to bet. So I have to do 1,182.8 miles to bet that record. Which I am more than sure I can do. I had set myself a target for 5,000 miles so year. I can’t see myself getting that high now. But I will be more than happy if I get to 4,500 miles :).

Another day, another cycle in a wetsuit
I wanted to make the most of the great British summer, so I went out another cycle in a wetsuit. Below are some photos I took while out on the bike. Hope that you all like them :).
New podcast on-line : Episode 107
That’s episode 107 of my podcast on-line at long last. Been meaning to record a new one for months, but only just gotten around to it. In this post episode, I am speaking what I have been up to since I did my last podcast, way back in April. So mainly about lots and lots of cycling stuff.

Vlog: Cycling in a wetsuit, again!
Here is the vlog from my second cycle of the year in a wetsuit :).
Cycling in a wetsuit, yes again!
Yes for the second time this year, I have been out cycling in my wetsuit :). Think it’s also the longest cycle I have ever done in a wetsuit, I did 24.32 miles. So here are some photos from the cycle. A new vlog will be posted in the next number of days…
Just done a 70 mile bike ride
Just done the longest cycle of the year. Just to think when I set off I was only planning to do 40 miles. If you don’t End 2 End cycle, that I did in 2009. It’s now the longest single day cycle I have ever done :). So well pleased with myself. So now on with some of the statistics from the cycle.
- Distance: 70.02 miles.
- Time: 5:13:16 (h:m:s).
- Avg Speed: 13.4 mph.
- Max Speed: 28.1 mph.
- Elevation Gain: 544 meters.
- Elevation Loss: 543 meters
- Min Elevation: 9 meters.
- Max Elevation: 164 meters.
Here is a nice map of the full cycle. Which does really give you an idea of just how long 70 miles really is.
Vlog: HTC lycra cycling gear
Just a short vlog while wearing my white lycra HTC cycling gear.
June 2011 cycling statistics
Here are my cycling statistics for June. My yearly total now stands at 2,490.2 miles.
Here is the data from June 2011:-
- Total cycles: 23.
- Total Distance: 456.9 miles.
- Total Time: 34:00:04 (h:m:s).

- Max Speed: 28.6 mph.
- Avg Distance: 19.87 miles.

I am sure you will have also worked out that not used the car in the whole of June never happened :(. But I am still more than happy with what I did. Since I only did 192.6 more miles in the car, than I did on the bike. I used the car for 649.5 miles and the bike for 456.9 miles.
