Longest cycle since September 2014

Well I am only just gone and done it! Not long back in from the longest cycle since September 2014! When I did 76.22 miles. Lucky today, I did more than that! I did 81.69 miles! So very pleased with that!

Now really hoping, I can do my first 100+ mile cycle, since August 2013!

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

I cycle, in just about all weather!

Lots of people, think that I only cycle when the sun is out to play! Bu these photos, show that really is not the case! Most times, when it’s raining, I just don’t stop to take photos! Was so glad, I was also wearing a wetsuit under my cycling gear!

First cycle wearing white Lycra of 2016!

Since you voted for it, I went out cycling wearing white Lycra for the first time this year! If you don’t follow me on Twitter, then you miss out on fun polls like this! So remember to follow me!

Always more fun cycling a with a mate!

It’s always so much more fun cycling with a mate! Even more so, when they look so good in Lycra!

Got to say that Nick did very well indeed! It’s one of the longest cycles he’s ever done! We did 20.3 miles! Also the first time he’s ever been out cycling in Lycra!
