First cycle after getting bike serviced

Happy days, that’s me got my bike after it went to Terry Wright Cycles last Thursday (8th March 2012) for a much needed service. It’s so nice having fully working front and back breaks again. I just need to watch, since for the last 3 months or so, only the front one was doing anything at all. If I used them now, I would be straight over the handlebars which would not be a good thing. They also renewed the gears, which had been jumping like mad. The service came to total of £111.98.

I will now leave you with statistics from today’s short bike ride.

Longest cycle and warmish day of the year

Since it was forecast to be the warmish day of the year so far. I had to make the most of it, by doing the longest cycle of the year! I have a feeling the weather forecast was correct, my phone was showing it was 16C. Which is very good for the UK, late February time.

Only my fourth cycle of the month

I had fun out on my bike today, doing what is only my fourth cycle of the month. By now should have at least done maybe 8 to 10 of them.  At least I am fast catching up with the miles, I want to have done by the end of the month. Including today’s ride, I have now done 105.7 miles this month. So only need to do another 113.5 to make my goal of 220 miles. Which is the number of miles I did in February last year.

I have heard people saying that snow is coming back to areas of the UK this weekend, just hope they are wrong!! Can’t be doing with snow getting in the way of me wanting to get out cycling again.

First 40+ mile cycle of the year

Well pleased with myself, just done my first 40+ mile cycle of the year :). But I am still way behind on miles this month. Due to all the snow and ice only been out twice. So have just 14 days, to another 180 miles. If the weather stays nice, should be easy to get that done!

Longest cycle of the year :)

Happy days I did my longest cycle of the year so far. I did 30.60 miles. I was hoping to do more, but my front light died on me. I normally have extra batteries on me. I looked everywhere in my cycling bag and could not find them. I even took the batteries out of my camera in the hope they would work. For some reason they did not work. Ready for the next cycle, I need to make sure I have extra AA batteries in my cycling bag again.

I will leave you with cycling statistics from the cycle:-

  • Distance: 30.60 miles
  • Time: 2:37:34 (h:m:s)
  • Avg Speed: 11.7 mph
  • Max Speed: 27.6 mph
  • Elevation Gain: 301 meters
