First wetsuit cycle since May 2012

Since it had been pissing it down all day, I made up my mind to make the most of it. So I put on my blueseventy axium wetsuit and went out a cycle. Below are some photos I took during the cycle :).

Yet another wetsuit cycle. Got to love the British weather

Yet another wetsuit cycle. Hope you are not getting bored of all these wetsuit photos. Maybe when the weather is better, I need to do a cycle wearing my Spider-Man suit :).

It could have been a cold and wet cycle…

It could have been a cold and wet cycle. If it was not for the fact I went out cycling wearing a wetsuit. The first 5 or so miles, it was dry and sunny. Then it started to piss it down. Since I was wearing a wetsuit, I was nice and warm.

Thunder and Lightning = wetsuit cycling

It was Thunder and Lightning on and off most of the day. Which to most people would mean a day indoors. But to me, that means putting a wetsuit on and getting out on the bike and getting extra wet :).

Here some photos from the cycle. I did hope to get more. But I did not want the camera getting any more wet than it already had.

I also filmed a vlog, which I will try to get on-line in the next number of days.

Another day, another cycle in a wetsuit

I wanted to make the most of the great British summer, so I went out another cycle in a wetsuit. Below are some photos I took while out on the bike. Hope that you all like them :).
