18 months later

Today is 18 months since I started cycling. In that time I've completely changed my lifestyle. I ride to work every day. I walk most journeys under a mile. I've smashed every target I've set myself. I've ridden over 100 miles in a day. I have taken up running and can run 5k. I've taken up swimming and have taken part in a triathlon. I've realised that there is nothing you can't achieve if you try hard enough. Here's some stats from the last 18 months.

Total mileage: 7,024.62 miles
Total rides: 695
Total time: 529h 59m 00s
Average speed: 13.25 mph
Bikes owned: 3
Weight lost: 8st 4lb (52.8kg)
Inches lost from waist: 12

At times it's been tough. Incredibly tough! But it's been worth it and I wish I'd done it sooner.

  4. Mate, I feel so proud of you. You said way back when that I was one of the people who inspired you. To see you start, race past me and then get to where you want to be before me has given me a huge amount of pleasure.

    Don't Ever Stop!

    Cheers

    Clive

  5. As always guys, thanks for your comments and feedback.

    John, I'll be up for a cycle whenever you want.

    Clive, I've still a little way to go but if it wasn't for you I probably wouldn't have started this blog and got all the help and support from others in the same position as me. Thank you.
