19-May-2013 : theBythams – Thorney – Stamford cycle

Well then, after doing today’s 63.77 mile cycle! I have now done just over 29,000 miles of cycling since April 2003! Which I am very pleased with to say the least! I was hoping to do more than 63.77 miles, but I had to get home to walk the dogs! Now I am at 29,000 miles, it’s looking very likely, I will hit the 30,000 mile mark by July!! 🙂

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

06-May-2013 : theBythams to Godmanchester

So happy. I am not long back in from the first 80+ mile cycle of 2013! I cycled so far, I made it all the way to a place called Godmanchester. It’s the most south, I have ever cycled from my village. Well I have cycled that south before, but only from Peterborough! I will need to do that route again but next time aim for St Ives, Cambridgeshire. Which would get me to around the 100 mile mark!! 🙂

21-Apr-2013 : I made it to The Wash!

I am so happy, I made it the whole way The Wash for the very first time! If you have no what The Wash is, then check out en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wash. Only bad thing is go all that way and can’t see any water! Still at least I can say I have made it. Been on my list of cycles for a number of years now!

09-Apr-2013 : Second 60+ mile cycle of 2013!!

Just back in from what is only my second 60+ mile cycle of the year. I made it all the way to Burton on the Wolds (Just 4 miles east of Loughborough). So covered a lot of new roads. I will need to do that route again and maybe next time go to whole way in Loughborough. I also cycled that far, the GPS did not have maps for that area. So very glad, I had a OS map on me!!

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

21-Mar-2013 : First 60+ mile cycle of 2013!!

Just done my first 60+ mile cycle of the year!! When I set off, I was going to be happy with just 40 miles. But since I was racing a mate via twitter. I had to keep going.  Also I wanted to cover lots of new roads. Which I did! Look at the blue on the map below! I think I will do, most if not all of that route again at some point. When I do first 100+ cycle of the year. Think I will use, lots of it.

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

19-Mar-2013 : Second 50+ mile cycle of the year

Today I did, what is only my second 50+ mile cycle of the year. I did not even mean to. I was hoping just to cycle to Oakham via Stamford and Rutland Water and back. But since it turned out to be a very nice day. I ended up cycling out of Oakham along National Cycle Network Route 63 and covered miles and miles of road I never ever been on before. Most of the time I had not idea where I was at all. It ended up being a great cycle. I will sure head out that way again!

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

14-Mar-2013 : First real test of Trek 8.3 DS Hybrid Bike

Today I give my new Trek 8.3 DS Hybrid Bike it’s first real test. Mainly since I did the longest cycle it’s done so far since getting it. Also it’s the first time I have used it off road. I used it, while cycling along the Grantham Canal towpath. I also used the bike’s bike front suspension. I normal have it locked. Since I just find, all I do is bounce up and down. So it’s nice to have suspension, but can’t see me using it that often.
