I am on holiday this week, and today Dawn was at work so I had the day to myself. A long cycle ride I thought. Now the most I have ever cycled at once is 25 miles so I thought I’d double it and do 50. Now 50 would have been OK and I would [...]
An exploding tyre, an aborted repair, a short walk, helpful cyclists, a present of an inner tube, a frantic cycle home and a nice warm hug. And all before work. What a busy start to the day.
Up at 5:00 for another 20 mile cycle ride. I took the road bike again, getting used to cycling on the road again but think I still enjoy the off road stuff better. According to the download from my GPS watch I was approaching 40 mph at one stage. I need to analyse this a [...]
09/07/2010 RouteFind more Runs in Ringwoood, United Kingdom I had a great cycle ride this morning, 16.24 miles on mostly gravel track and some road. This was the route I was trying to do a couple of weeks ago when I got the puncture. But no puncture this morning, hurrah. But now to the title [...]
Since I started cycling again a few years ago I have covered well over 1000 miles. For each one of those miles I have carried a small toolkit and a spare inner tube, and never had a puncture. This morning I was in the garage getting ready for my ride and realised the toolkit was [...]
… since the day I went to Hospital. Was out at 5:45 and it was bitterly cold. I should have worn gloves. My fingers froze to the levers and when I pulled them off it left layers of skin behind (I may have slightly over dramatised that bit). It was a lovely clear morning. I [...]
An excellent bicycle ride this morning. I woke up before 6:00 and lay in bed plotting a route in my head. Managed to get up, dressed and out by 6:15 and did just over 13 1/2 miles. It was very wet out there and i had to cycle through some puddles that were over a [...]
The last time I rode my cycle was two weeks ago and it was a disaster. I had made up my mind which route I was going to cycle and had it all mapped out in my head. It was going to be about 20 miles. I set out slowly and after 3 miles I [...]
… 213 lbs, can’t believe it, that’s 4 pounds less than last Saturday. Got to keep this up. Went for a great cycle ride this morning (after I had cleaned up the half eaten pigeon the cat’s had brought in, nice.. at 5:15 in the morning) Cycled nearly 14 miles. See the route here Burnt [...]
Early morning cycle ride this morning. See the route here. 1719 calories burnt so should not have to watch what I eat too much.
