First cycle of October 2022

Happy days, just did the first cycle of the month! Only did 10.97 miles, not the best! But it’s still a good start! Also can tell it’s getting colder, had to go back to wearing Under Armour, underneath my cycling gear! Then wearing double Lycra is HOT!! 😉 😈

WOW! Missed wearing white Lycra so much….

Since it’s my birthday… I was like, I better give you all a good birthday present and wear white Lycra for cycling for first time in months, or maybe even this year….

It’s getting colder… It soon be time to put the skinsuit(s) away!

You can tell it’s now late September…. The weather has started to change! Doubt, I will be wearing Lycra skinsuits for much longer this year! It will soon be time, to look out the winter gear!

Love this photo of myself cycling!

At least once every week, I see someone out with a camera getting photos of people on motorbikes… They also take ones of people out cycling…. So today, while online, I went looking for one of me! It cost me £12.50 for the image! Not, that I mind at all! It’s a great one!
