I have also re-sized the other photos from this set, to very large 1920 x 1080. These photos have been taken with my Sony HDR-CX570E camera.

Vlog: Another cycling vlog

Yep, yet another vlog. I am starting to run out of ideas now for new vlog titles.

In this vlog, I am chatting about how many miles I did last month (March). How many miles I am hoping to do this month. And also about going to Scotland in May.

Vlog: Cycling in Twyford Wood

Yep, yet another vlog. I hope you are not starting to get bored of these! This one was filmed in Twyford Wood, which is a former World War II airfield.

To give you all something to look at, I am wearing the Nalini Columbia Highroad Team jersey and shorts.

Four county cycle

I ended up covering four counties while doing this cycle. I think the title short of gives that away! I covered Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire and Rutland. So not bad at all, for just a 41.77 mile cycle.

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

My newest cycling gear

I am sure you will have read a number of days back I ordered myself some new cycling pants from ChainReactionCycles.com well they are here. I really like them so far and no idea why I think they also look sexy on :).

Here are some photos of myself wearing them. I took the second photo, just to show I am still wearing my sexy lycra cycling shorts under them.

Great Ponton loop cycle

Well pleased with myself just done the longest cycle of the month so far. I did a grand total of 28.06 miles. Also set my fastest speed of the month. My average was the slowest of the year so far. Then it was the cycle with the most hills, so far this year. So I guess my legs are still getting use to hills again. And to person that asked if I am going slower due to putting on weight at Christmas. No that’s not the case at all. I always go slower in winter.

I will leave you with cycling statistics from the Great Ponton loop cycle.

  • Distance: 28.06 miles
  • Time: 2:17:33 (h:m:s)
  • Avg Speed: 12.2 mph
  • Max Speed: 29.2 mph
  • Elevation Gain: 294 meters
