So glad I was wetsuited during today’s 28 mile cycle. It turned out to be on very wet and cold cycle.
10-Feb-2013 : Very wet cycle! Glad I was wetsuited
Well that turned out to be a very, very wet and cold cycle. I am so glad I was wearing my wetsuit, under my cycling gear. Only bit of me that got cold was my feet, even in my winter cycling boots. Did not help they filled up with freezing cold rain water. So I was really glad when the cycle was over and I got my shoes off!
I will now leave you with the route map, elevation graph, route statistics and photos.

Wetsuited for over 4 hours…
I kept my sexy blueseventy axium wetsuit on for at least 4 hours. During that time I went out a 12 mile cycle and also good 45 minutes walk with the dogs!

28-Jan-2013 : First wetsuited cycle of 2013!
Well pleased with myself. At first I was not going to do any cycling at all today, due to strong winds. When I checked the wind speed before setting up is was showing wind speeds of 60 mph. But since my miles so far this month has been very, very low. Due to having about 2 week of no cycling due to snow and ice. I made up my mind, to hell if it and went out! I ended up doing the longish cycle of the year so far. I did 28.94 miles, but my avg speed was a bit on the slow side, to the very strong head winds.
It also happens to be my first wetsuited cycle of the year!! The wind was so cold, I so glad I had it on!
