Vermarc Etixx Quick-Step Bib Shorts

That’s me now got the Vermarc Etixx Quick-Step Bib Shorts, to go with the Vermarc Etixx Quick-Step Short Sleeve Jersey. So I of course, had to go out a long cycle to try them out! Got to say, they fit very well indeed! Which you, can of course tell from the photos! 😀

I will also try to film a vlog wearing them at some point this week…

Loving my newest Lycra cycling gear!

Got to say, I am loving my Vermarc Etixx Quick-Step Short Sleeve Jersey. Of course, it will be even better, when I order the shorts that go with them! But for now the Zone3 Aquaflo Tri Shorts will do! 🙂

First white Lycra cycle of 2016

Had a number of people ask me via twitter (twitter.com/gsvalentine) when the white Lycra will be back on! So now the roads are not so wet or covered in mud. I of course, I had to keep my fans happy!

Oh and I did just over 31 miles! 🙂

First cycle of March 2016… DONE!

That’s the first cycle of March 2016, done! I did 21.1 miles, meaning I’ve only got 204 more miles left to do, then I will have done more miles than in March of last year! Which should be very easy to do!

I will now leave you will some photos from the cycle! This time I am wearing the blueseventy axium wetsuit, since I am sure lots of you, are getting bored of seeing the Zone3 Evolution Swim-Run wetsuit all the time!

Another good cycle, but very windy!

Yes, yet another cycle! I only did 18.56 miles this afternoon. I would have loved to have done more. But it was very windy indeed! Which is why my avg speed was only 10.3 mph and my max speed only got up to 26.3 mph.

But at least it did not stop me from doing a some more Geocaching. I found another two, which takes my total up to 180 finds!

I also took some more photos. The last one is my favourite, since you can see a train going past on the ECML.

First cycle of February 2016

That’s me now long back in from the first cycle of February 2016. I did 20.01 miles. So I am off to a OK start! Just means, I’ve got 109.2 more miles to do, to overtake the number of miles, that I did in February of last year

I also did more Geocaching during the cycle, I found another 5. Which takes my total up to 172! Should get that total to well over 250, before the year is out!

I will leave you with some photos from the cycle :).

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…
