Another good week, my fifth 50 plus on the trot. My EA Sports Active 2 work outs 4 times a week are also going very well and I am continuing to see results both in my weight and endurance levels.

I have recently purchased a HiVis bike safety wrap that attaches quickly and easily to most parts of your bike.  The product cost me less than the cost a a few beers and allows me to be seen by other road users. The concept is fantastically simple, well made and above all effective.

However, cycle safety aside, the best thing about this product is that it is designed and made in England.

Commute: 25.86 Miles (Cycle)
Fitness: 26.07 Miles (Cycle)
Training: 15.39 Miles (MTB)
Next Weeks Goal: 40 miles

Another good week, my fourth 50 plus on the trot, and my first 60 plus of the year. I am really pleased with my progress at the moment.

I took half a day of work Friday to allow me to cycle home from Salisbury, this added just over 26 miles to my total, which I am very pleased about.

I am also continuing with my EA Sports Active 2 work outs 4 times a week, and have started to feel the benefits already, both in my weight and endurance levels.

It is unlikely that I will be able to get more than 50 miles in over the next 7 days, but, I will certainly try my best.

Another good week, my third 50 plus on the trot. It is unlikely I will get 50 miles in next week as its a bank holiday… but it is possible (I am considering something a little crazy for Friday)

I have also started working out 4 times a week using EA Sports Active 2, so my fitness levels are increasing quite a lot, but I do need to start putting in some longer cycle rides, watch this space for an  update next week.

Another good week, my second 50 plus on the trot. I am not sure how long I will be able to keep his up for… Hopefully the weather will hold out, and allow me to get 4 commutes in again next week.

A fantastic week, 4 commutes. I really know about it by the time I got home on Friday thought…. Hopefully this will continue……

I must try and get out on my MTB at some point, I am very aware I have not put many miles in for of road training yet.

another sub 30 mile week, Easter Monday and a family funeral knocked the schedule a bit, but I did manage 2 commutes. The second found me taking a new route, 3/4 of a mile longer but much more bike friendly. I am planning a web page devoted to safe, cycling and safe routes, I am starting to get really passionate about promoting safe cycling and safe cycle routes.

With the cost of transport increasing all the time, I think the time is right to encourage people to cycle as much as possible. My goal is that any journey I take on my own that is less than 6 miles will be made by bicycle…..
