2006

July

Got new geared racer bike, have been riding it quite a lot. Mostly to work in Gloucester and back. Usually takes me 42-45 minutes to get there and around an hour to get home (I'm more tired, and the hills are steeper in that direction).

On Friday 21st I went to work via Birdlip and came back via Stonehouse for a little change map. Apparently 30 miles, the computer said 44k (check), it took me 2h 10min (two journeys).

February to June

Lots of rides, but little data as I don't have a computer on my fixie… and I haven't been updating my site much either ;-)

But I have recorded a few rides using GMaps Pedometer such as this one in May and this one in June.

Friday 20th January

Stroud - Bath Road, Cheltenham (Cheltenham's answer to Nappy Valley)

11.9 miles (weird, 2 miles short of usual distance to the YMCA?!?!?)

In almost exactly 50 minutes

Maybe my computer was cutting out occasionally for some reason?
