Cycling in a wetsuit

The weather was not the best today, so I did something that I have not done since last year and that was to go out cycling in a wetsuit. When I first left the house it was pissing it down, but then it was only very light rain for the rest of the cycle. So I was not happy, I wanted it to piss it down the whole time. Which is not something I say very often when out cycling.

So here are some photos, I took while out cycling in my wetsuit.

New cycling gear on the way :)

I have just gone and spent £133.50 on some new cycling gear :). Been after some new gear for a while. So after asking people on facebook what I should get, lots of people said I should get the Rabobank team kit. Also lots of straight lads from work said I should get it. So that will be a first for me, having straight lads telling me what gear to get! Just hope I look half has good in it, as Theo Bos does :).

So much for a short cycle…

The plan was do around 35 miles on the bike today. But some how that turned into a 61 mile cycle. I cycled so far, I ended up cycling into Nottinghamshire. First time I have ever done that from Litttle Bytham. So well pleased with myself.

  • Distance: 61 miles.
  • Time: 4:43:58 (h:m:s).
  • Avg Speed: 12.9 mph.
  • Max Speed: 29.4 mph.
  • Elevation Gain: 459 meters.
  • Elevation Loss: 453 meters
  • Min Elevation: 20 meters.
  • Max Elevation: 164 meters.

Here is a nice map of today’s 61 mile bike ride.

Just done a 65 mile bike ride

So pleased with myself, just done the longest cycle of the year, also one of the longest ones I have ever done. Would be the longest if you don’t count the End 2 End cycle, where I did 89 miles in one day. So now on with some of the statistics from the cycle.

  • Distance: 64.56 miles.
  • Time: 4:58:40 (h:m:s).
  • Avg Speed: 13.0 mph.
  • Max Speed: 28.7 mph.
  • Elevation Gain: 531 meters.
  • Elevation Loss: 533 meters
  • Min Elevation: 36 meters.
  • Max Elevation: 164 meters.

Here is a nice map of the full cycle. Which does really give you an idea of just how long 64 miles really is.

Here are some photos from the cycle:-
