05-Jun-2013 : Killearn to Inversnaid

I am so happy! This time I made it all the way from Killearn to Inversnaid. If you have been following this website for a good while. You may remember that way back in October 2011, I did try to do this cycle. But due to running out day light, I only made it to Loch Arklet then had to turn back. So this time, I made sure I set off at the better time. Also it helped since, I did it during summer. So had many more hours of day light to play with!

After doing this cycle, it’s going to make cycling around Lincolnshire, look very boring indeed! It may not the very good from the route map below. If you check it out on google street view, you will see why I loved doing it to much!

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

19-Mar-2013 : Second 50+ mile cycle of the year

Today I did, what is only my second 50+ mile cycle of the year. I did not even mean to. I was hoping just to cycle to Oakham via Stamford and Rutland Water and back. But since it turned out to be a very nice day. I ended up cycling out of Oakham along National Cycle Network Route 63 and covered miles and miles of road I never ever been on before. Most of the time I had not idea where I was at all. It ended up being a great cycle. I will sure head out that way again!

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

Well pleased with myself. Just done my first half century (50 miles) cycle of the year. I was not planning to when I set off. But someone twitter give me the idea! I was going to be happy with 40 miles. Pleased I did it, means I have beating the longest cycle I did in February last year. Which was 44.28 miles.

I will now leave you with the route map and route statistics. No elevation graph like normal due to the GPS playing up.
