10-Feb-2013 : Very wet cycle! Glad I was wetsuited

Well that turned out to be a very, very wet and cold cycle. I am so glad I was wearing my wetsuit, under my cycling gear. Only bit of me that got cold was my feet, even in my winter cycling boots. Did not help they filled up with freezing cold rain water. So I was really glad when the cycle was over and I got my shoes off!

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

04-Feb-2013 : 20 mile cycle with 40+ mph wind speed

Oh dear, oh dear. It was yet another very windy cycle. I believe that the wind speed went above 40 mph at times. It was OK when the wind was behind me, or even side on. But was hell when cycling head on into it. So only did 21.91 miles. Still not to bad and takes my monthly total so far up to 64.5 miles.

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.

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!

08-Jan-2013 : Third cycle of 2013!

Now done my third cycle of 2013. You may have noticed I have been posting every cycle route of the year so far. The aim is, I will do a post about every cycle over 20 miles. Does mean, I will need to try to do lots of different routes. If I don’t, you will get bored of seeing much the same maps all the time!
