Brexit bike ride

Still can’t believe, that we leave the EU at 11pm GMT tonight! Of course, I voted to say in the EU… But at least, I got one more cycle in before we leave! Only did 13.97 miles, but still more than pleased with that! Oh and yes, I was wearing a wetsuit 🙂

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.

Vlog: 55,000 miles of cycling!

That’s me now done 55,000 miles of cycling, since April 2003. Well at least, I will have done, once I’ve cycled home after doing this vlog!

Still think the best cycle I’ve ever done, is of course cycling from John O’Groats to Land’s End back in 2009! Do check out www.endtoend-cycle.com

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.

First cycle, in like 4 weeks…

WOW! That was like my first cycle, in over 4 weeks! Just not really been in mood for it. Last month, I only did 54.7 miles. Which is very, very poor. Since in November of last year, I did 315.5 miles. So just, hope I can get another 2 or 3 in before heading off to Scotland!
