Colsterworth’s NEW Co-Op is open!!

So happy that the new Co-Op in Colsterworth is open!! Only two weeks, later than it should have been! I for one, will be using it a lot! Nice, that I can lock my bike up! The old Co-Op, had no where to lock a bike up!

Well pleased with myself, not long back in from the first 30+ mile cycle of 2018! Even better for you lot, it was also my first Lycra cycle of the new year! Sure most of you, will be getting bored of me wearing the same stuff, in just about every photo!

First 25+ mile cycle of 2018!

That’s me just done my first 25+ mile cycle of 2018! I did 27.28 miles, would have liked to have done over 30 miles! But it will do for now!

Looking at the weather for the week ahead it’s due to stay warm for most of the week! When I say warm, I mean above 8C, so I don’t need to worry about ice! Only downside, it’s due to rain a lot! But lucky my wetsuit does keep me nice and warm!
