I can’t believe it. I now only have 25.5 miles left till I get to 5,000 of cycling this year on the bike! So I am going to make sure I do that tomorrow. It can rain all day, for all I care. That’s not going to stop me!!

It could have been a cold and wet cycle…

It could have been a cold and wet cycle. If it was not for the fact I went out cycling wearing a wetsuit. The first 5 or so miles, it was dry and sunny. Then it started to piss it down. Since I was wearing a wetsuit, I was nice and warm.

Most miles, done in any December

I have just set another record. The most miles I have ever done in any December. Well since I started to keep a full cycling log back in 2003 anyway. Now I just have to hit the 5,000 mile mark. Which should not be to hard at all, since I only have 69 more miles to go :). So my goal is have done that by Wednesday of this week.

One day into December and set a new record

We’re just one day into December and I have set a new record for the longest cycle I have ever done in December. It was only 29.26 mile’s which during the summer would be nothing at all. During the winter, the cold always stops me from doing so many mile’s and so does the lack of day light. Since it gets dark right now before 4pm.

I have also now done the second most miles, I have ever done in December. Only need to do another 28.2 miles to bet last years record.

Only 332.8 miles till 5,000 cycling

I only have 332.8 miles left to do this year, then I can say I have done 5,000 miles on the bike in one year. I WILL make it, well that’s if the weather plays ball. I would be pissed off if I only missed 5,000 by lets say 200 miles.

Oh and now I have fully working Internet. It’s time I make up for lost time. And get posting new photos, vlogs etc. So here are the two photos from today’s cycle.

Longest cycle of the month

Well the title may make it sound good, but in fact I only did 14.31 miles. But it’s much better than the only other cycle I have done this month, which was like ONLY 0.98 miles. Every little does help be get nearer to my aim of 5,000 miles. I only have 372.9 miles to go, so I just hope the snow stays away for a bit longer.
