I have just posted some more photos, from the Rutland Water cycle that I did last week.
I have also re-sized the other photos from this set, to very large 1920 x 1080. These photos have been taken with my Sony HDR-CX570E camera.
Here are my cycling statistics for March. I am pleased with myself. Done the second most miles, I have ever done, in any March. Just missed out on last March’s record by 64 miles :(. But I am still up on last years miles by this point. Last year at this point it stood at 1,240.8 miles. Right now I am at 1,310.4. So I am 69.6 miles up!
Here is the data from March 2012:-

Here are my favourite cycling photos from the month:-
This is now the second time so far this year, I have cycled to then around Rutland Water. Last time I did the shorter loop. This time I did the longer loop, which takes in the Hambleton section.
During the cycle I was stopped to record, yet another vlog. Which will be on-line later this evening. I am sure you, will all love it. Since I am wearing my white Garmin kit :).

Another day, another day out on the bike. Since my bike is now in fully working order again. Want to make the most of it! So I cycled from my village of Little Bytham to Rutland Water then around it and back home. So a total distance of 36.16 miles. Total for the month now stands at 169.7 miles. Distance for the year is now 878.1 miles.
I will now leave you with the route map, elevation graph, route statistics and photos.

Today I went a very nice cycle to Rutland Water and back. After looking at my cycling statistics for last year. Turns out I have not cycled there since April. So this year I need to change that and go more often again.
This year is off to great start, I have now done the second most miles I ever ever done in January. Total so far stands at 83.18 miles. To bet last years total I have to do a total of 355.6. Meaning I still have to do another 272.42 miles to bet it. So let’s just hope this good weather lasts till the end of the month.

Photos from today’s cycle:-
I can’t get over just how good the weather has been for the last week. Been warm and sunny just about every day. Which is good news for me, since I am way behind on the number of miles I want to do on my bike this month. Since I was in Scotland for 1 week, only got to use my bike once that I got a flat tyre and did not have any tools in Scotland to fix it :(. By the end of the month I want to do at least 450 miles, right now I have only done 186.7, which also includes the cycle I did today. So need to do at least another 265 miles before the month is out 2 be happy with myself.
Anyways on with today’s nice cycle. I made up my mind, since it’s a great day to cycle to Ruland Water, which is not that far at all from my place, so only a short cycle. Only did 24.5 miles, but I do really like cycling to Rutland Water, it was so busy. Don’t think I have ever seen it so busy on a week day. Then I think that’s got a lot 2 do with lots of schools being off. But I got a ice-cream while there, which is one of the reasons I went :).
So other than the great cycle, not much at all 2 tell you. Other than at long last Channel 4 HD has been added to Freesat, it can be found on channel 126. Meaning that Freesat now got 4 HD channels and all for free. Now got BBC1 HD, BBC HD, ITV1 HD and of course Channel 4 HD. Yes I do really like my HD stuff.
It’s been another fun fill day. Got around of bed around 11:00am, showed then sorted out going a cycle around Rutland Water with my mate Rich. It also happens to be his birthday, so happy birthday Rich. I set off my by house to Rutland at around 12:10pm and get to Rutland Water around 1pm, where Rich was waiting for me. He always drivers there since he lives in Peterborough, I cycle there to get my cycling miles up, it also saves me money on fuel. It was great cycle, we both got covered head-to-toe in mud. So did this dog, who also come with me. She did very well to do the whole 15+ miles with us.
The cycle took me 3:30.37 (h:m:s) which is not the best time in the world, could not go very fast doing the Rutland Water section, due to having the dog with us. The distance was 38.11 miles, making it the longest cycle of the year. Just beating the one, I did on Valentine’s Day.
Once I got back home, I had a quick bite to eat. And another wash. Then I set off in to Peterborough to meet up with Rich and some of his mates for his birthday meal. We went to East, which is a Oriental restaurant. The food and service were both great. I so would go there again. Everyone had a great time. It was also great to get to see my wife 🙂
Oh and one more thing before I go, my motorcycle helmet turned up, I will get photos of me wearing it this weekend at some point 🙂
Yesterday I just set another best on the bike, just done the most miles I have ever done in any February, well since 2003. Then I started to keep a full record of how many miles I am doing. So far I have done 127.9 miles, beating my record that I set in 2009. I also have done the longest cycle of the end so far… I did 38.03 miles, in other words more miles in one day, than I did in the whole of February last year.
The cycle was to Rutland Water, were I meet up with a good mate called Rich, then we both cycled around it. Then after I cycled back home. Calling in a nice pub on the way back with Rich, who drove there.
So I am also well on the way to doing 1,00 miles, which I have to do by mid-April. Done 483.5, so leaving 516.5 more to go…
