Getting closer to 200 miles!!

Getting extra close to 200 miles of cycling in a single week! Right, I am at 130.9 miles! So got to do another 69.1 miles between now and Sunday! Which works out at around 24 miles, per day! So should be easy to do!!

Also think, many more sexy Lycra photos, I can take during that time!! 🙂

Fourth, 30 mile cycle of the week!

I am doing extra well on the bike so far this week! Not long back in from my 4th, 30 mile of the week! So far done 125.4 miles, so just over my goal of 110 miles! Of course, still got Friday and Saturday left! Yes, I know I missed out Sunday, but next to never cycle then, since I always try to take Cooper out a long walk then!

But still all going well, should end this week on around 150 to 160 miles 🙂

That’s another 30 miles done!

I am doing so far this week on the bike! Every cycle so far this week has been 30 miles, or just over! So now weekly total now stand at 95.3. Which is good, since my goal for the week is only 110 miles!

Since I’ve started using Strava, it’s really helped me get back into cycling! Since, I can set weekly goals, join monthly challenges, have fun setting new PR when doing segments! Plus of course, see what people I am following are up to!

Now at 2,351 miles this year!

I am so happy! I’ve already done more miles on the bike, than I did in the whole of last year! I only did 2,341.4 miles. So far for this year my total stands at 2,351! So already 9.7 miles up on last year!

Then of course, if you look at my cycling statistics page, you will see that last year, was not a great cycle for cycling. Since, I was 2,993.6 miles down the year before (2014).

Here are some photos, from today’s mini 29 mile cycle! 🙂

Just 20.2 more miles to go…

I’ve only got 20.2 more miles left to do, then I will have done more miles on the bike, than I did in the whole of last year!

That really does show, that 2015 was not a good year, cycling wise for me! So really hoping that I make my goal for 4,000 miles this year! Of course, would like to do many more…
