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!

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!
