Here are some more Amazing Spiderman 2 Morphsuit photos. I think the burnt out car goes well with the suit! Of course, I do feel sorry for the person that use to own the car.

Here are some photos from last night at the Peterborough Greyhounds (my place of work). When we run a marathon in the time in the time it’s takes us to ‘run’ a meeting! That was a 26 gruelling miles in around 3 hours!

All the money we raised from the run is of course going to Sport Relief.

I’ve had a good number of lads, ask me to wear my Amazing Spiderman 2 Morphsuit again and of course do photos! So, I of course, I have to keep my fans happy!

Yes, I cycled back home wearing it under the rest of my cycling gear! 😀

Don’t think I’ve ever seen the pond is my village overflow like this before! Seen it high, but never this bad!

That’s the first cycle of March 2016, done! I did 21.1 miles, meaning I’ve only got 204 more miles left to do, then I will have done more miles than in March of last year! Which should be very easy to do!

I will now leave you will some photos from the cycle! This time I am wearing the blueseventy axium wetsuit, since I am sure lots of you, are getting bored of seeing the Zone3 Evolution Swim-Run wetsuit all the time!

Longest pre-work cycle of 2016…

That was a good cycle. Just did the longest pre-work cycle of the year so far! I did 21 miles, but that may sound good. But when I start cycling to work again, that would not even get me to whole way!

Also very happy with myself, first time this year, I’ve done over 100 miles in a week! Also done 328.65 miles so far this year! But this point last year, I had only done 209.5 miles!

I will now leave you with some photos from the cycle! 🙂

Another great cycle! 26 miles.

Yet another cycle! I did just over 26 miles! Which takes monthly total to 238.5 miles. So 109.3 more miles, than I did in February last year! By this last year, I had only done 209.5 miles in total. Right now I am at 422.7 miles. Hoping to get that up to around 500 miles before the month is out!

Here are some photos from the cycle! Yes of course, I am wearing a wetsuit under my gear again! Which can you tell from the second photo! 🙂

Longest cycle of the year! 34 miles!

That’s well pleased! I’ve not long back in from the longest cycle of the year! I did 34.59 miles! My avg speed was not the best at only 10.6 mph. Still I am more than happy! Just myself and the bike need a good wash! After cycling to, then around Rutland Water!

During the cycle, I also did some more Geocaching. I found 9 during the cycle, which takes my total finds up to 207! So should make my goal of 250!

I will now leave you with the route map, elevation graph, route statistics and photos.
