Here are some photos from today’s cycle. The camera for some reason took photos while filming the vlog below. But they all come out very well, so had to post them here!
Just beating last years record
I am happy with myself. Just gone and beating last years record number of miles on the bike. Last year I did 5,066 miles. So this year I have done 5,075.2 miles!!
Last week, I set myself a new goal of 5,150 miles, by the end of this year. Now going to change that up to 5,250 miles. If the weather plays nice, that should be very easy indeed to do!
I will leave you with cycling statistics from today’s ride:-
- Distance: 28.61 miles
- Time: 2:24:21 (h:m:s)
- Avg Speed: 11.9 mph
- Max Speed: 28.1 mph

5,000 miles! Second year in a row!!
Last year when I ended the year on 5,066 miles, I was sure it was going to be a one off. And I was never going bet that again. It’s looking very likely that I will do. So far year this I have done 5,006 miles. Which I am very pleased with. When my goal was just 4,500 miles. So lets see, if by the end the year on at least 5,150 miles.

Done 256.3 miles this month, got another 288 to do
I have done 256.3 miles so far this month. Got another 288 to do, to bet September 2011 total. If I had a whole month to do that number of miles in. It would be easy. But since I go on holiday on the 23rd, only got up till then to do it! So the weather better play nice!!
