Another day, another cycle, but with photos!

Yet another cycle, but this time, I make sure I took lots of photos! Also can’t believe this time last week. I was out in my full winter gear. But a week on, I have my legs out!

I did 25.11 miles this afternoon. Which I am very pleased with! Takes my total for the month so far up to 145.7 miles.

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

Longest cycle of 2016 so far…

Well pleased with myself! Just done the longest cycle of the year so far! I did 26.79 miles. Still not the longest cycle in the world. But I am, still very pleased with that total.

It also takes my monthly total so far up to 120.6 miles. So I am already 40.3 miles up, on the same point last year.

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

2016 cycling wise is off to a good start!

So far cycling wise this year is off to a good start! Last January, I only did 80.3 miles! So far, I am just over that! Done 81.6 miles. Which may not sound that great. But at least it’s start! Just hope I can keep it up! Really want to try to get back into cycling more this year!

Last year (2015), I only did 2,341.4 miles. Which is very bad indeed! Because the year before that (2014), I did 5,334.9 miles.

Also if, I do more cycling this year, you will of course get to see many more photos like this…

26-May-2015 : Four county’s cycle

Since I cycled in three county’s yesterday. Wanted to go one better and take in four this time! I started off in Lincolnshire, the county I live in. Also covered Rutland, Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire. They are in no order at all. Since I went in and out of both Rutland and Lincolnshire a number of times.

During this cycle I covered 37.16 miles. Making it the longest cycle of the month so far! So just have hope, the weather is also good, this Thursday. Since it’s the last chance, I have the time, to get a long cycle in!

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