16-Feb-2013 : Best average speed of the year so far

cycle route Cycling No Comments

This cycle ended up being a lot longer than planned. When I set off my goal was so do around 25 miles, but I ended up doing 33.76. Making it the longest cycle of February 2013 so far. It also ended up being the cycle with the best average speed so far, set at 13.3 mph.

I only took two photos during the cycle. All at the same location, which was next to the A1 between Little Ponton and Great Ponton. So here is my favourite out of the two of them.

14-Feb-2013 : Gone from 1C to 9C over night!

blog Cycling 2 Comments

It felt nice and warm while out cycling today. Just to think yesterday it was cold and we had had snow. Then today the temp has jumped up to around 9C. But the wind was still a bit on the cold side. Since the route I did today, was a bit on the boring side. I will just post these two photos from the cycle!

Hope you all like them! Get posting comments PLEASE! And make my Valentine’s Day!! 🙂

I am happy with days cycle. I ended up doing 30.73 miles. So making it the longest cycle of February 2013 so far. I did get covered head to toe in mud during the Rutland Water section. So had to give my bike and myself a good wash when I got back home!

10-Feb-2013 : Very wet cycle! Glad I was wetsuited

cycle route Cycling No Comments

Well that turned out to be a very, very wet and cold cycle. I am so glad I was wearing my wetsuit, under my cycling gear. Only bit of me that got cold was my feet, even in my winter cycling boots. Did not help they filled up with freezing cold rain water. So I was really glad when the cycle was over and I got my shoes off!

04-Feb-2013 : 20 mile cycle with 40+ mph wind speed

cycle route Cycling No Comments

Oh dear, oh dear. It was yet another very windy cycle. I believe that the wind speed went above 40 mph at times. It was OK when the wind was behind me, or even side on. But was hell when cycling head on into it. So only did 21.91 miles. Still not to bad and takes my monthly total so far up to 64.5 miles.

03-Feb-2013 : Yet another very windy cycle

cycle route Cycling No Comments

The weather so far this year has not really been the best for cycling. First it was snow, then the ice that followed. Then for the last number of days, it’s been very, very windy. So only did just over 23 miles today. Looking at the weather the snow is coming back later this week. So I best get all the cycling done, before that happens. Really need to get the miles in this month to catch up on some of the miles I lost, last month.
