That’s me now done 55,000 miles of cycling, since April 2003. Which works out, doing an average of 3,235 miles each year! Of course, some years done well less than that. Others way more! The most in single year, was back in 2013, when I did 6,118.4 miles!
Here is the total number of miles for each year.
Here are some of my favourite cycling photos, during that time 🙂
WOW! That was like my first cycle, in over 4 weeks! Just not really been in mood for it. Last month, I only did 54.7 miles. Which is very, very poor. Since in November of last year, I did 315.5 miles. So just, hope I can get another 2 or 3 in before heading off to Scotland!

Oh yes, since it was cold… Was of course wearing a wetsuit! 🙂
Well that was another fun afternoon Geocaching, while out cycling! I found 7, which takes my total up to 291 finds!
I also covered a distance of 20.11 miles, during the Geocaching.

I need to thank, Cooper, yes Cooper my dog for getting me back into Geocaching.
He went looking for water, so I followed him, to see, what water he had found and in the process found a geocache. Which lead to me installing the app on my phone, then finding another two geocaches during the walk!
So once, back from walk him. I of course, had to go out cycling. Which in turn, lead me on to find another 16 of them.
Looking at the Geocaching website. Turns out, it’s the first ones, I’ve found once 2016! Going by today, think I’ve got the bug again!
Oh and I even found a new red telephone box, while out cycling! Oh OK, not new, but you get what, I mean!
That’s me now done my third cycle of 2019! Do think, I need to come up with a better title! Will get boring, when it reads, 100 cycle of 2019! LOL!
I did 21.55 miles, making is the longest cycle of the year so far! Also the cycle with the bigger elevation gain, which was 254 metres. But my average speed was way down to 10.8 mph.
Oh and also, when I was out cycling. I got to see something that does not happy very often and that was a closed A1. Which was due to lorry overturned, south of Colsterworth.

That’s me just done the second cycle of 2019! This time, I did 20.02 miles. Which, I am happy with. My average speed was not the best, at only 11 mph. But my body, is will getting over the cold/flu bug thing. So, I am just happy to be out on the bike!
Oh and yes, one of the signs, that I hate seeing the most, was out during my cycle! And that’s the hedge cutting one!
