Done 113 miles in 2 days on the bike!

All is good right now in the land of cycling. I have done 112.89 miles in just two days. I know of course during the summer. I could do a lot more than that in 2 days. I am still pleased with it. It’s really helped get my monthly total up. It now stands at 394 miles. Making it the second most miles, I have done in a single month this year.

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

Longest cycle ever in any March

I am well pleased with myself. Just set a set record for the longest cycle, I have ever done in any March. I set the longest one last March (2011), at 60.1 miles. Today I did 65.4 miles! I would have loved to have done a longer one. But I had to get back home to look after next doors dogs.

Four county cycle

I ended up covering four counties while doing this cycle. I think the title short of gives that away! I covered Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire and Rutland. So not bad at all, for just a 41.77 mile cycle.

Longest cycle and warmish day of the year

Since it was forecast to be the warmish day of the year so far. I had to make the most of it, by doing the longest cycle of the year! I have a feeling the weather forecast was correct, my phone was showing it was 16C. Which is very good for the UK, late February time.

Only my fourth cycle of the month

I had fun out on my bike today, doing what is only my fourth cycle of the month. By now should have at least done maybe 8 to 10 of them.  At least I am fast catching up with the miles, I want to have done by the end of the month. Including today’s ride, I have now done 105.7 miles this month. So only need to do another 113.5 to make my goal of 220 miles. Which is the number of miles I did in February last year.

I have heard people saying that snow is coming back to areas of the UK this weekend, just hope they are wrong!! Can’t be doing with snow getting in the way of me wanting to get out cycling again.

First 40+ mile cycle of the year

Well pleased with myself, just done my first 40+ mile cycle of the year :). But I am still way behind on miles this month. Due to all the snow and ice only been out twice. So have just 14 days, to another 180 miles. If the weather stays nice, should be easy to get that done!
