I took the mountain bike out today for the first time in ages.  I decided to explore part of the forest that I am just not familiar with but I knew in what rough direction i wanted to be heading so set off. I was heading towards Fritham and was then going to cut down [...]

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 [...]

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.

Went for a second cycle ride with the family. This was nice and gentle and we had a picnic half way. despite being gentle I still burnt 1568 calories. Had to have a little sleep in the afternoon. Been a little stressful today as I am selling an old car on eBay. The auction ends [...]

This may sound ridiculous but I was out for a cycle ride just after 5:00 this morning. I did 16 miles through the new forest. It’s always nice to get out there early as you have the forest to yourself (except for the wildlife of course). I did see a dog walker at about 5:30 [...]
