Some pics of me on stage, practicing, or out and about

In what is absolutely the last cycle of the year, this was exploration of routes 1 and 12 in the East of England. Covering 20 miles, this 2hr trip started on route 1 through Martlesham and Kesgrave, and then onto Ipswich, before changing to route 12 which went up to the pleasant Castle Hill with a brief passage along the infamous Shakespeare Road in North-West Ipswich. After that terrifying experience I rejoined route 1 to head back home (whilst getting lost in the process).

Made it safely home just before it was too dangerous to cycle without lights! The real challenge, however, came as temperatures fell to <5 degrees and the sun fell behind some ominously dark clouds. Wearing just shorts and t-shirt, I lost all feeling in my hands and fingers. Not the most relaxing cycle then ;)

A two-and-a-half hour walk around the Sizewell Estate, which involved a walk along the beach to the edge of Minsmere, and then on to the District Survey Labs (DSL) and then back. About 10miles.

Well My Tour In Iraq

Probably the last cycle of the year saw a 2hr, 20 mile voyage through Bealings, Seckford, Grundisburgh, Culpho, Tuddenham, North Ipswich, Rushmere and Kesgrave.

Best highlight was seeing a RAF Spitfire and Dakota flying round the valley below. The thunderous noise of the planes made me wish there could be another Battle of Britain!

A whopping 7.25hr, 50 mile cycle ride. Following the Suffolk Coastal Route, I went through Waldringfield, Newbourne, Kirton, Trimley St Martin, Felixstowe, across to Bawdsey via a short Ferry ride, Alderton, Hollesley, Butley, Chillesford, Tunstall Forest, Orford, Iken, Snape, Blaxhall, Tunstall, Campsey Ashe, Wickham Market, Ufford, Melton, Woodbridge and Old Martlesham.

Legs packed in at Tunstall, but after a generous 30min lunch break I managed to make the last 20 miles, just not in record time! A nice pub dinner rounded off a long day...

Crikey what a journey! A 3.5hr cycle trip, passing through Bucklesham, Foxhall, Levington, Nacton, Orwell, Ipswich and home again! Highlights include a nice Subway meal next to Orwell Park!

A cycle trip setting off around 8pm. Soon found myself going around Foxhall (and the racing pits!), and then on to the outskirts of Ipswich, before reaching home at 9:30pm.
