42 mile cycle with Nick!

That was a great cycle with Nick! We ended up doing 42.71 miles, which was great, since our goal had only been 30 miles! It’s even better, since it’s the second longest cycle, that he’s ever done! Well done Nick!

Can’t wait to get out cycling again, with Nick!

So happy, that Nick is coming to see me, again very, very soon indeed! And we’re hoping to get some cycling in! So you can look forward to, some new Lycra photos!! 🙂

New route via Market Overton

Funny that you can more just 4 miles west and you end up cycling in totally, different places! I now cycle in Rutland and Leicestershire, a lot more. Since Rutland, is not even half a mile down the road, then Leicestershire is just a, wee bit after that!

Check out the fun, but short route, I took over at www.strava.com/activities/1751856605.

That was a great 36.33 mile cycle!

That sure was a great 36.33 mile cycle, which is of course the longest cycle of the month! I do really need to try getting a 50 or 60 mile cycle in, before the month is out…
