Well I did say last month that I'd have a few days off for my birthday and I did! February was and easier month miles wise but I really think my biggest gains so far cycling wise have been made. I managed to eat quite a lot of this cake and as such the weight... Continue Reading →
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Mileage went down in December unfortunately but it's always nice to have some time to relax rather than be flogging yourself every day on the bike. Thankfully I have already achieved my mileage goal so I could afford a bit of me time. I'm not really sure where... Continue Reading →
It's been a funny one. After my Epic Ride up the Dales I felt rather poorly which impacted in the old monthly mileage totals! But this last week I have been trying to get back into Zwift as the weather (mainly wind) is turning and the dark nights have returned with the clocks going back.... Continue Reading →
It gives me great pleasure to strike off my main target of the year! After 260 days I have officially recorded 3,020 miles on Strava. My previous annual best was 2,255 miles back in 2015 and I was hoping to build on this but but for some reason from that point my annual totals went... Continue Reading →
Drum roll... 438 miles! A bit down on June but still a decent amount of miles to keep the clock ticking over! And as I have completed more miles that target I am now even further ahead of target: My previous highest annual cycling total was 2,255 miles. It looks that this will be surpassed...

Had a great June, probably too busy cycling to write about it! So this will be brief - normal service to be resumed at the end of July. Still not 100% health wise. I'm having the odd bouts of dizziness and phlegm but thankfully it isn't affecting my cycling. So June... 481 miles! My best... Continue Reading →
So we started off with the best of intentions and then something a little bigger than cycling came along... COVID-19. I started off March quite well having a 56 mile week 1 total but then I got ill again. I managed to cycle through the last cold but this one knocked me for six and... Continue Reading →
My ride today ended as my season on the bike has done - disappointingly. I misjudged the severity of a bill on my route which took me longer than I thought meaning I was running late and had to cut the ride short then I got a flat 2 miles from home. Due to an... Continue Reading →
Got a shock this morning when checking my Veloviewer account - I am 445 miles behind my 2015 annual distance! This isn't good news when I was wanting to cycle 3,000 miles this year which was 745 more miles. I don't think that I will reach 3,000 unless I do something quite drastic. We have...

This week after over 6 weeks (or 45 days exactly) I got back on my bike. I don't know why I haven't been riding recently, think it was a combination of the bike getting repaired (which the bike shop botched, my wheel is still making noises) and the weather but no real excuses. My last... Continue Reading →
