First “fun” photos of 2023!
See told you! The second I got my hair cut, it got back back into mood for doing more fun photos! It’s the first time, outdoors wearing my new Fetters Padded Leather Muzzle! I had been hoping to take many more, but my camera battery had other ideas!
Second cycle of 2023!
Happy days! Now already done two cycles this year! Just need to do 19.4 more miles, and I will done more than I did in whole of January last year!
If I can make it up to 100 miles. I will have done more miles than January and February joined up! Just shows, how little cycling. I was doing last year!!

Last cycle of November 2022?!?!
Have a feeling it will be last cycle of November 2022! Since tomorrow, hoping to get Bugsy out a long walk. Then working all day Wednesday. Then of course, Thursday it’s December!
This month, only done 73.6 miles. Which is very bad, when my goal was 130 miles! Not even going to make 2,000 miles this year!
So hoping that, in 2023… I can start to really up them miles again!!

What’s this? Yes, yet another wetsuited cycle!
Yes, since it’s now much colder here in the UK. It gives me a great reason to start wearing a wetsuit while out cycling!

First 30+ mile cycle of 2020!
That’s me just done my first 30+ mile cycle of 2020! So pleased with that, since my goal when, I set off was only 20 miles. Also means, that I’ve now done more miles, than I had by the same point last year. Only by 0.9 of a mile. But still, always nice to start the year on a high.

Wettest cycle in a long time!
That’s got to be the wettest cycle in a long time! No idea, when I last got that wet! All I can say, glad I was wearing the O’Neill 5/4 Mutant wetsuit again!
Here are some photos, I took before the rain started.
