First cycle in Rabobank Cycling Team kit, of 2015

First cycle of 2015, wearing the Rabobank Cycling Team kit! Not even sure, I wore it once last year! But I would need to double check my photos, to be fully sure!

Want I was doing with back in 2013!!

Sorry it’s been a slow news week! Not really been doing much at all, since my bike died on my last week! All going well, should get him back in the next day or so!! Not been out a cycle now since 17th July! The second, I get him back. I will make sure, I get in lots of new cycles! Which of course, will mean lots of new Lycra photos!!

So I will leave you, with photos that were taken on this day back in 2013!

Looking back to 2008!

I can’t believe that these photos date back to 2008! It just about, still feels like yesterday. When Mike, my boyfriend of the time and myself cycling in the Queen Elizabeth Forest Park, while wearing our sexy lycra gear.

29-Jun-2015: That was a good 30 mile cycle!

That was a good cycle! Even found a new road, I’ve always past and never noticed it before! I only did 30 miles, I was hoping to do more. But had to get back to pick a mate up from the train station.

So far this year, I’ve only done 1,056.8 miles. By this time last year, it was 2,730.5. So I am 1,673.7 miles down! On the same point last year! Can’t see me making them number of miles up, before the end of the year! 🙁

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

25-Jun-2015: Only my second 50+ mile cycle of 2015!

It’s a bit bad to think, we’re already half way into 2015 and I’ve only done two 50+ mile cycles! But now, I’ve normally done lots of them! So let’s hope, I have the will power to get many more in!
