All the routes I have cycled on a single map

Here for the first time ever is every single GPS cycle track on a single UK map. The data is from 13th September 2008 (when I got the Garmin Edge 705 GPS), till 15th September 2012. In that time I have logged 16,498.95 miles.

The map to the right includes the End to End cycle, that I did in August 2009. Also the places I have cycling to from Killearn and Little Bytham.

I made the map using Memory-Map.

Done 256.3 miles this month, got another 288 to do

I have done 256.3 miles so far this month. Got another 288 to do, to bet September 2011 total. If I had a whole month to do that number of miles in. It would be easy. But since I go on holiday on the 23rd, only got up till then to do it! So the weather better play nice!!

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

Done just over 200 miles of cycling so far this month…

I am pleased with myself. So far I have done, just over 200 miles of cycling this month. Yes I know that really that much, still not bad since I have only done 6 cycles so far in September. Can’t see this month being the best month for the number of miles I get to do. Since I am going on holiday on the 23rd and not back till the 30th. So all the cycling needs to be done by then.

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

First wetsuit cycle since May 2012

Since it had been pissing it down all day, I made up my mind to make the most of it. So I put on my blueseventy axium wetsuit and went out a cycle. Below are some photos I took during the cycle :).

Cycling around Rutland Water with friends

Today I had great fun cycling to then around Rutland Water. So a total of 45.60 by the time I got back home. When I got to Rutland Water, I met up with Tristan and his boyfriend Dave. I have known Tristan for year, but not seen him in many years. First time ever meeting his other half. So I then did the Rutland Water section with them both. It was so much fun, hope we can all find the time to do it again at some point :).

I now only have 10.6 miles to go and I will have done the second most ever miles in a single year. Then I only have last years record of 5,066 miles to beat. Can’t see me doing that, since I have to find the time to do another 1,000 miles before the year is out.

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