That was a great cycle back from work! Went back home the longer and more scenic route! Well, maybe would not call cycling next to the A1, that scenic. But at least it’s made the cycle home longer! Also cycled on some roads, I’ve never been on before and even set 5 PRs on strava! So over all, very pleased with the route I took!
Oh and since, I had white Lycra on! Make sure, I stopped and took a good number of photos! 🙂
You can check out the route I took at www.strava.com/activities/680547241
That’s me now done 603.8 miles of cycling this month!!!!!! Well pleased with that! But still got a long way, to go! Need to end this month on at least 777 miles! To get my “July Distance Challenge” trophy this month on Strava!
But at least, I got my “July Climbing Challenge” trophy, which means I’ve climbed over 8,000 meters!
Check out my trophy case so far at www.strava.com/athletes/11925537/trophy-case
That’s my weekly total now at 100.3 miles! Want to try and double that before the week is out! Want to make it, the most miles, I’ve down in a single week so far this year! Wish me luck…
I will leave you, with some more Lycra photos to look at!! 🙂
Yet another week of cycling off to a good start! Did 31.7 miles! Also of course, took some more photos… got any ideas for new photo angles, then do let me know! Just comment on this post!!
I am doing extra well on the bike so far this week! Not long back in from my 4th, 30 mile of the week! So far done 125.4 miles, so just over my goal of 110 miles! Of course, still got Friday and Saturday left! Yes, I know I missed out Sunday, but next to never cycle then, since I always try to take Cooper out a long walk then!
But still all going well, should end this week on around 150 to 160 miles 🙂
I am so happy! I’ve already done more miles on the bike, than I did in the whole of last year! I only did 2,341.4 miles. So far for this year my total stands at 2,351! So already 9.7 miles up on last year!
Then of course, if you look at my cycling statistics page, you will see that last year, was not a great cycle for cycling. Since, I was 2,993.6 miles down the year before (2014).
Here are some photos, from today’s mini 29 mile cycle! 🙂
I’ve only got 20.2 more miles left to do, then I will have done more miles on the bike, than I did in the whole of last year!
That really does show, that 2015 was not a good year, cycling wise for me! So really hoping that I make my goal for 4,000 miles this year! Of course, would like to do many more…
So pleased with myself! So far done 500.6 miles of this month! Making it the most miles, I’ve done in a single month since July 2014, when I did 705.2 miles! So really hope, that next month I can do ever better!
Also only go to do 136.3 more miles, than I will have done more than in whole of last year!
I will leave you, with some photos from today’s cycle that took over the 500 mile mark! 🙂
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/
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!! 😀
