Now getting back into taken photos of trains on the ECML! So here are some photos taken near to Creeton, Lincolnshire.
Just back in from the shortest cycle of the year!
I am just back in from the shortest cycle of the year! Which is, of course nothing to be happy about! I still did 11.04 miles, so still than nothing at all. Also some of it was off road! So got covered it mud! Of course, my wetsuit, was kept clean under the rest of my cycling gear.
Here are some photos from the mini cycle!
Yes another cycle! Great getting back into it!
Yes yet another cycle! But I am loving the fact, I am getting back into it! So far this year, I’ve done 274.5 miles. Which may not sound a lot, but that is 65 miles more than by the same time last year. That’s not including the fact, we’re not even half way into February! 🙂
Here are some photos from the cycle! Yes, I even did some off roading! The things I do, to find more geocaches!
Great 23 mile cycle + Geocaching at Twyford Wood
Yep yet another day, yet another wetsuit cycle! I bet you, can’t wait till the warmer weather, then I will be back out in the Lycra again!! Oh for this cycle, I did 23.3 miles! And yes, I did even more Geocaching! I found 6 during the cycle, all in Twyford Wood.
Yet more great wetsuit cycling photos
Yet another cycle out wearing the Zone3 Evolution Swim-Run wetsuit. Just to think, I’ve had this wetsuit in for every cycle so far! So 145.7 miles wearing it! 🙂
Oh and please get commenting on my photos and rating them!
Playing around with selective colourization
I’ve now, also starting to play around with selective colourization. I did this using, GIMP – GNU Image Manipulation Program. Please let you know what you think…
Longest cycle of 2016 so far…
Well pleased with myself! Just done the longest cycle of the year so far! I did 26.79 miles. Still not the longest cycle in the world. But I am, still very pleased with that total.
It also takes my monthly total so far up to 120.6 miles. So I am already 40.3 miles up, on the same point last year.
I will now leave you with the route map, elevation graph and route statistics.

2016 cycling wise is off to a good start!
So far cycling wise this year is off to a good start! Last January, I only did 80.3 miles! So far, I am just over that! Done 81.6 miles. Which may not sound that great. But at least it’s start! Just hope I can keep it up! Really want to try to get back into cycling more this year!
Last year (2015), I only did 2,341.4 miles. Which is very bad indeed! Because the year before that (2014), I did 5,334.9 miles.
Also if, I do more cycling this year, you will of course get to see many more photos like this…
Yet another December wetsuit cycle!
Yet another December wetsuited cycle! Think I’ve been wearing a wetsuit, for every cycle so far this month! Not due to it raining, just since it’s great fun wearing it! It’s very warm indeed for December was around 14C today! Just need to make sure, I drink a lot of water. So I don’t over heat!
