4 Comments Posted by on February 7, 2011

So today is my 100th day in a row that I have kept my “Ride a bike every day habit”. According to HabitForge.com I have now succeeded 100 days in a row. It has been 175 days since I started monitoring the habit with a success rate of 91% as I have ridden a bike [...]

Record habit

Leave a Comment Posted by on December 17, 2010

So today was the 47th day in a row of my cycling habit. That is a new record for me, my previous record was 46 days in a row. I nearly let it slip by as I have come down with a cold and the weather was yucky – that is a technical term for [...]

Habit failed after 46 days

2 Comments Posted by on October 23, 2010

Yesterday I did not cycle. There are plenty of excuses (packing away folding caravan, driving to Leicester from Cornwall via visiting eldest son at Oxford), but there will always be excuses. So today I start from zero again, this time with a target of cycling 46 days in a row to beat. Very much like [...]

Riding the Cornish Mining Trails

Leave a Comment Posted by on October 22, 2010

Had a lovely ride this morning from Carnon Downs Caravan Site down to Devoran (via Point) and then along a stretch of the Mining Trail. A beautiful route of mostly off road riding on good quality tracks (if it has been Twelve wet then mudguards will be helpful to keep your bike clean). Went past [...]

Missed seminal habit moment

1 Comment Posted by on October 20, 2010

Weight loss has slowed but slow improvements to body shape continue. My thanks to habitforge: Forge new habits. [...]

My September cycling review

1 Comment Posted by on September 30, 2010

September has been a significant month for me and cycling. I cycled all but one day in September. I have now cycled 25 days in a row. I have cycled over 260 miles for work. That is over £50 in expenses but by not driving those miles I have also saved the Leicester North Methodist Circuit [...]

Habit formed?

2 Comments Posted by on September 27, 2010

According to habitforge.com I now have a new habit successfully established. I have cycled everyday for 21 days (and about to go out by bike so it will be 22 days). However, more reading seems to suggest that forming habits is not quite as straightforward as originally claimed by various self help websites – no surprise there [...]

Just nice

1 Comment Posted by on September 26, 2010

We had a lovely evening out at friends tonight for a birthday meal. We cycled there and back and it made for a great start and finish to a very pleasant evening with good company. It is just under 4 miles each way and so can be a gentle ride without any need for special [...]
