5,000 miles! Second year in a row!!

Cycling 5 Comments

Last year when I ended the year on 5,066 miles, I was sure it was going to be a one off. And I was never going bet that again. It’s looking very likely that I will do. So far year this I have done 5,006 miles. Which I am very pleased with. When my goal was just 4,500 miles. So lets see, if by the end the year on at least 5,150 miles.

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

  • Distance: 24.32 miles
  • Time: 01:53:37 (h:m:s)
  • Avg Speed: 12.8 mph
  • Max Speed: 30.9 mph
  • Elevation Gain: 203 meters

Believe it or not. The bike that I have had for 17 years has just had, what I believe is only it’s second ever full service. It only cost £92.99, which I am very happy with indeed. Feels so nice having a fully working bike again. It’s even got fully working back and back breaks for the first time in god knows how long! Big thanks to Terry Wright Cycles for keeping it on the road. So who knows, maybe for another 17 years :).

I give it a quick test cycle tonight. I did a whole 12.1 miles on it. Which is also the first cycle, I have done since Wednesday 23rd October, which is a long time ago for me.

I have done 244.2 miles so far this month. Making it the most ever miles I have done in any October, well since I started keeping a full log away.  Oh and believe it or not this the first time I have ever cycling right into Oakham. I need to make sure I do it again, it’s a nice wee Market Town to look around.

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

Route map:-

The dark blue section of the route, shows new roads I covered during the cycle. That was myself looking for Tesco. Which I could remember that Oakham had one, but was not to sure where it was, since I have only been once and that was maybe 4+ years ago.
