That was great drive back to England

That’s me back in England after a great drive back home! Went on many roads, I’ve ever been on before! Don’t ask me which way, I went. Since I have no idea at all!

But I some how did end up at Dent railway station, which happens to be the highest railway station in England!

Here are some photo from the drive. Was hoping to take many more! But it was raining most of the time!!! 🙁




Weekly total now at 100.3 miles!

Loved London in Pride 2016

Loved every second of Pride in London! After what happened in Orlando just a number of weeks back. I had to go, we can’t let hate win!

I was in tears, when we had a minutes silence, during the march. We have come a long way, but still have a long way to go!

Best part, was seeing everyone looking so happy and of course the Red Arrows. I did not know anything about that, till they went over!

I am already looking forward to next year! Think, it will be even bigger and better next year! Since it will 50 years since homosexuality was legalised in the UK!

Many more photos can be found at www.gordon-valentine.com/zenphoto/days-out/pride-london/2016/.

Should not have to wear a wetsuit in June!

Can’t believe that, I am having to wear a wetsuit in June, while out cycling, to keep myself warm! It was only like 11C, when for this time of year, it should be at least 20C!! But on the plus side, it means you get to see more photos of me, wearing sexy wetsuits!! 😀

First cycle wearing white Lycra of 2016!

Since you voted for it, I went out cycling wearing white Lycra for the first time this year! If you don’t follow me on Twitter, then you miss out on fun polls like this! So remember to follow me!

That was a great 30.06 mile cycle!

That was a great 30.06 mile cycle, the longest pre-work cycle of the year so far!! So far done 132 miles this week! Which is good going, since my goal was only 100 miles!
