About Me

My photo
Whether it's five miles or five hundred miles, riding a bicycle is more fun than anyone ever told me! My New Year's Resolution to cycle 10 miles a day or 40 minutes on a spin bike has meant that by the end of May I have cycled 2,600 miles! Because of my cycling wardrobe the weather has not stopped me from cycling (unless it really is -5 degrees or with wind gusts of 25 mph). Cycling in style and in comfort is really important to me as I don't really want to be covered in logos looking like a Ninja as I buy groceries or attend meetings. I have found some things that work for me but am always looking for new pieces. For me, Evans Cycles and Cycle Surgery for the basics. My two favourite brands for my wardrobe are www.velorution.com and www.velovixen.com but I am always looking for new pieces. I would love to know what works for you and why. Happy cycling!

Mice Log Star Day 45.

A Brommie and a Valentines Day. Thursday 14th February. 10.63 miles, average speed 11.2, max speed 18.7 during 56.32 - on the Brommie!

D'oh, however!  The one thing to look at before leaving home, regardless of which bike you are riding, is the weather forecast.  Having been frozen to my toes yesterday I piled on the layers and flew out of the door.  By the time I arrived at Hyde Park I was boiling over.  Where had all these extra degrees come from? It must have been nearly double figures!

The activity of peeps in the park increased dramatically since yesterday.  There were lots of joggers.  Im not really a jogger, I don't enjoy it, it's not my thing.  My only observation is that joggers always look as tho they are not having much fun - I often want to say "go ride a bike" as I breeze past but that would be wrong as just because jogging and running dont suit me doesnt mean they are not having a blast (even if they dont look like it!!)  And I saw bare legs!  Poor people with their Personal Trainers making them do planks and all sorts!

As I started my first lap I saw Mr Trackstander - trackstanding!  Well after last night I now know his name - Neilson Cerbolles and he is not only a very good and kind cyclist but he is blogging here 


  Finally, given today's date l take this opportunity to wish you all a



                                                         Happy Valentine's Day!
