Second ever 100 mile bike ride
I am so pleased with myself. I have just done, my second 100+ mile cycle ever!! The last time I did 100+ miles was back in September last year. Check out the post: First ever 100 mile bike ride to see the route I took then.
Lucky I planned the route in my head this time. So did not have to mini cycle around my village to get the miles up. Also really liked this road, covered lots of new roads. So glad I had a OS map with me, to stop myself from getting lost.
I will now leave you with the route map, elevation graph, route statistics and photos.

Longest cycle of this month (August) so far…
I am well pleased with this cycle route. Mainly due to finding lots of new roads to cycle on. It’s also the longest cycle of the month so far. It also brings my total distance so far this month to 422.3 miles. So only got another 218.5 more to go, to beat August’s 2011 total.
