First ride of the new decade!

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.

Back cycling again in the O’Neill 5/4 Mutant wetsuit

Second cycle in a row wearing the O’Neill 5/4 Mutant wetsuit. Also just my second cycle of the month. Will only have the time for another two or three cycles, this year. Since I am off to Scotland this weekend!

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!

Forth cycle of February 2019

Not long back in from my forth cycle of February 2019. I do really need to think of better titles! It will get boring, when I start getting more many cycles in each month.

I can’t say, what I really think about St. Valentine’s Day

I had to muzzle myself, so I did not say, what I really think about St. Valentine’s Day. Oh and of course, also wanted a reason to wear it 🙂

Happy St. Valentine’s Day 2019!

Hey everyone! Hope you all, had a great St. Valentine’s Day! Don’t worry, if you are single! My last name is Valentine and I am still single! LOL…

So, I had to make the most of being single and went out another cycle. Only did 26.42 miles, but still very happy with that one.
