July 2011 cycling statistics

Here are my cycling statistics for July.  My yearly total now stands at 3,250 miles. Total miles since April 2003 is now at 19,809.8. So that will be well over 20,000 by next month!

Here is the data from July 2011:-

  • Total cycles: 26
  • Total Distance: 758.85 miles
  • Total Time: 56:45:26 (h:m:s)
  • Avg Speed: 13.4 mph
  • Max Time: 5:13:16 (h:m:s)
  • Max Speed: 28.1 mph
  • Avg Distance: 29.19 miles
  • Max Distance: 70.02 miles

Data from: Garmin Connect.

So pleased with the amount of cycling I did last month. I did a record number of miles on the bike in once month, well that’s if you don’t count the End to End cycle month, back in August 2009.  So can’t believe it’s two years ago this month that I did it. I was really hoping to do it again this year, but people I was hoping to go with plugged out

Here are my favourite cycling photos from the month

60 mile bike ride and more Geocaching

Today I went a nice 60 mile bike ride. It was great weather again, so wanted to make the most of it. I also did more Geocaching, this time I found 6. So I am well pleased with myself. I was hoping to find 10, but I could not find one and ran out of time to find the other ones. I have now found 51 in total, with 19 of them since Sunday (24th July 2011). Aim is to get that over 100 before the year is out :).

So now on with some of the statistics from the cycle.

  • Distance: 60.24 miles.
  • Time: 4:31:37 (h:m:s).
  • Avg Speed: 13.3 mph.
  • Max Speed: 25.6 mph.
  • Elevation Gain: 485 meters.
  • Elevation Loss: 481 meters
  • Min Elevation: 11 meters.
  • Max Elevation: 164 meters.

I have also done the more miles I have ever done in a single month, well if you don’t count the End to End cycle  month back in August 2009. I have now done 704.7 miles, this month and for the whole year 3,194.9. So the second most miles I have ever done in a single year, only got last years to better.

Here are some photos from the cycle:-

53 mile bike ride while geocaching

Today I went a nice 53.22 mile bike ride. One the longest ones I have done in a number of weeks. Just to make the cycle even more fun, while cycle some geocaching at the same time. In case you have not idea what geocaching is. It’s a real-world outdoor treasure hunting game. Players try to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, using GPS-enabled devices and then share their experiences online. Yes I took that text straight off the website.

I was well pleased with myself I found 5 of the 6 geocaches, I set off out to find. The one I could not find, I forgot to print out the additional hints for it. I am sure I will find it the next time. Which all going well, will be tomorrow. When I am planning on looking for even more.

So now on with some of the statistics from the cycle.

  • Distance: 53.22 miles.
  • Time: 3:59:03 (h:m:s).
  • Avg Speed: 13.4 mph.
  • Max Speed: 25.3 mph.
  • Elevation Gain: 405 meters.
  • Elevation Loss: 398 meters
  • Min Elevation: 9 meters.
  • Max Elevation: 125 meters.

Oh and sorry they are no photos from this cycle. I forget to take my camera tripod with me :(.

Thunder and Lightning = wetsuit cycling

It was Thunder and Lightning on and off most of the day. Which to most people would mean a day indoors. But to me, that means putting a wetsuit on and getting out on the bike and getting extra wet :).

Here some photos from the cycle. I did hope to get more. But I did not want the camera getting any more wet than it already had.

I also filmed a vlog, which I will try to get on-line in the next number of days.

Cycle miles now stands at 2,818.5

I have now done 2,818.5 miles on the bike so far this year. So it’s now the second most miles I have ever done in single year on the bike. I only have last years record 4,001.3 miles to bet. So I have to do 1,182.8 miles to bet that record. Which I am more than sure I can do. I had set myself a target for 5,000 miles so year. I can’t see myself getting that high now. But I will be more than happy if I get to 4,500 miles :).

Another day, another cycle in a wetsuit

I wanted to make the most of the great British summer, so I went out another cycle in a wetsuit. Below are some photos I took while out on the bike. Hope that you all like them :).

Cycling in a wetsuit, yes again!

Yes for the second time this year, I have been out cycling in my wetsuit :). Think it’s also the longest cycle I have ever done in a wetsuit, I did 24.32 miles. So here are some photos from the cycle. A new vlog will be posted in the next number of days…
