Waltham TV Transmitter cycle loop

Cycling 2 Comments

Happy days, at long last I have done my first long cycle of the month. Till now, only been doing 20 miles cycles, mainly due to weather not being at it’s best for cycling. Put it this way, I last went out a cycle on the 7th June and my cycling shoes are still not fully dry.

I am very pleased with how this cycle turned out. Ended up covering lots of roads I have never been on before. Even found my local TV Transmitter :).

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

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.

Cycled to Rutland Water

blog Cycling No Comments

Today I went a very nice cycle to Rutland Water and back. After looking at my cycling statistics for last year. Turns out I have not cycled there since April. So this year I need to change that and go more often again.

This year is off to great start, I have now done the second most miles I ever ever done in January. Total so far stands at 83.18 miles. To bet last years total I have to do a total of 355.6. Meaning I still have to do another 272.42 miles to bet it. So let’s just hope this good weather lasts till the end of the month.

I will leave you with cycling statistics from the Rutland Water cycle.

  • Distance: 22.05 miles.
  • Time: 1:42:13 (h:m:s).
  • Avg Speed: 13 mph.
  • Max Speed: 27 mph.
  • Elevation Gain: 195 meters.

Data from: Garmin Connect.

Trying to put on my new 1 Piece Leather Suit, that I got myself for my 31st birthday, over the top of my Orca S2 wetsuit.

Since I failed in part one of the vlog. Here is my second go, this time I put on the 1 Piece Leather Suit, over the top of some white cycling shorts.

Since the weather has been so great the last number of weeks, I have been out cycling just about every day. So far this month I have been 16 cycles, covering a distance of 365 miles. Total time 24:38:06 (h:m:s). Elevation Gain: 4,887 metres. Average speed: 14.8 mph. Maximum speed: 37.2 mph. So really hope that the weather stays like this good a while longer.

It was so nice today, it was the first time this year, I have been out cycling in my sexy lycra shorts. I did the Bassingthorpe loop, which covers a distance of just over 24 miles.

Once back from the cycle, I had a much needed shower. Then got ready for my second night as bar supervisor, lucky tonight was not as busy as last night.

Then after work I went out for some drinks with Andy, since it’s his late night at the track for a good while, since he’s got a new job somewhere else.
