That’s December of to flying start cycling wise! Did 40.99 miles. Which may not start a lot. But in the whole of December in the following years I only did:-

2004 – 12.9 miles.
2005 – 17.6 miles.
2006 – 12.1 miles.
2007 – 4.5 miles.
2008 – 27.1 miles.

So when you look at it that way, 40.99 miles is a good long cycle :).

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

Cycled to and from work at long last!!

At long last I have gotten around to cycling to and from work for the first time this year! So in other words a 46 mile round trip! It’s taken so long to get around to it this year. Mainly due to the fact, I did not have a pannier rack, fixed to my new bike. Only got around to installing it last Saturday for the Prudential RideLondon FreeCycle.

So now I have have to hope we have great weather for the rest of August and September. So I can do it many times and save lots of money! By not having to use my car so much!

06-Aug-2013 : theBythams – Grantham Canal loop

I had great fun cycling from theBytams to Grantham, then back home via Grantham Canal and Woolsthorpe. I love cycling out that way, since I get to use National Cycle Network Route 15 (NCR 15) which runs along next to Grantham Canal for a good number of miles. Also it’s got some good hills, to give my legs a bit of a workout!

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

It’s been a great two days of cycling! Yesterday cycling around London on closing roads while doing the Prudential RideLondon FreeCycle. Then today, I cycled from Swavesey to Cambridge with a friend that lives in Swavesey. Using the cycle path next to the Cambridge guided busway. Then around Cambridge for a bit, before cycling back to my mates house! 🙂

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!
