Cycling No Comments

I am back to my normal happy self, now my cold has gone at long last. Since I am fully over it. I got out on my bike for the first time in a whole 7 days. Today I did want I call the “Colsterworth loop” not the longest cycle in the world since it’s only 19 miles. But I did not want to over do it. But tomorrow, if the weather plays ball I will try to do a longer cycle.

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

Great Ponton loop cycle

blog Cycling 2 Comments

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.

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.

  • Time: 1:42:13 (h:m:s)
  • Avg Speed: 13 mph

Second cycle of 2012

blog Cycling 1 Comment

That’s me just done my second cycle of 2012. I did 19.08 miles, so a bit better than I did yesterday. My average speed was much better it was 13.4 mph. When it was only 12.6 mph, the other day.

You will be pleased to hear I was only wearing tight cycling gear, no trousers over the top of my cycling shorts. Since I broke the button just above the fly zip. So they don’t stay up :(. But right now, my loss is your gain. But I would make the most of it, while you can. I have ordered some new one’s from Chain Reaction Cycles, which should turn up later this week.

I will leave you with cycling statistics from today’s ride.

  • Distance: 19.08 miles.
  • Time: 1:25:26 (h:m:s).
  • Avg Speed: 13.4 mph.
  • Max Speed: 26.8 mph.

It could have been a cold and wet cycle…

It could have been a cold and wet cycle. If it was not for the fact I went out cycling wearing a wetsuit. The first 5 or so miles, it was dry and sunny. Then it started to piss it down. Since I was wearing a wetsuit, I was nice and warm.
