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.

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 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!
