Cycling in a wetsuit

The weather was not the best today, so I did something that I have not done since last year and that was to go out cycling in a wetsuit. When I first left the house it was pissing it down, but then it was only very light rain for the rest of the cycle. So I was not happy, I wanted it to piss it down the whole time. Which is not something I say very often when out cycling.

So here are some photos, I took while out cycling in my wetsuit.

I also filmed a vlog, which I will post very soon :).

Was a bit bored so had fun taken photos

I was a wee bit bored today, so had some back in the back garden taken new photos of myself :). They say it’s summer, it does not feel like it. Max of like 17C here today. So did not get any cycling done again today :(. So taken these new photos give me something to do :D.

New poll on-line

I have just added a new poll. Which can be found on the top right of each page. This poll is about what would you like more of, on the website.

You can vote from two of the following:-

  • Blog posts
  • Photos
  • Podcasts
  • Vlogs

Also big thanks to everyone that voted in the last poll. I asked “What would you like to see more photos of?” the poll results were as followed.

I was hoping that my motorcycle gear would win, since right now it’s my favourite gear. But oh well. But I do still of course really like to wear my cycling gear and wetsuits. So I have posted two photos showing the best of best, lycra and my motorcycle helmet :).

Trying to put on my new 1 Piece Leather Suit, that I got myself for my 31st birthday, over the top of my Orca S2 wetsuit.

Since I failed in part one of the vlog. Here is my second go, this time I put on the 1 Piece Leather Suit, over the top of some white cycling shorts.

Vlog: My Little outing in the rain

At long last I got around to filming my first new vlog, since the end of May. In this vlog, I am showing you that I am not just a fair weather cyclist.To try to keep myself nice and warm, I had a wetsuit on under my cycling gear 🙂 I filmed this vlog while doing the Corby Glen loop cycle.

Today Hobbz and Tyler and myself went to Hunstanton. It’s the most fun, I have had in a long time, not just because I got them both in wetsuits, but of course that did help. They are just two very nice lads, they are so easy to get on with.

Speaking about having to cancelling to my planned trip to Scotland to see my family over Christmas period, due to all the ice and snow. Just to add to it, I do the vlog, while having a shower in my Orca S2 wetsuit.
