Today I did, what is only my second 50+ mile cycle of the year. I did not even mean to. I was hoping just to cycle to Oakham via Stamford and Rutland Water and back. But since it turned out to be a very nice day. I ended up cycling out of Oakham along National Cycle Network Route 63 and covered miles and miles of road I never ever been on before. Most of the time I had not idea where I was at all. It ended up being a great cycle. I will sure head out that way again!

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

That’s more like it. Just beating my longest January cycle ever. Which I set on Sunday 29th January 2012. Which happens to be 1 year ago today. I only just worked that out, when looked at my cycle log. Also happy now my total for this month is looking much better! Still way, way down on January 2012. But much better than I was doing two days ago!!

Last night a group of us from the Peterborough Greyhound Stadium went to Yarmouth Stadium in Great Yarmouth. It was mainly a fact finding mission to see what we could learn from them and of course want they could learn from us!

It really want a great night out. The food was to die for. I had a BBQ Ribs, following by breaded stuffed chicken breast and for dessert, I had raspberry and white chocolate cheesecake. All of which, I would really recommend. I could just about say say the dessert was one of the best, I have ever had!

If you are ever in the Great Yarmouth area and are looking for a great night, I would recommend going! And no, I have not been paid to say any of that!!

P.S. Just looked at there website and they even have Free Wi-Fi in most part of Stadium. That is something I do believe, that most places should do! Just not going to name them here!! 🙂

I will now leave you with some photos from a great evening out!
