In July 2010, I completed a 400 mile sponsored cycle through France in 5 days.

I posted tweets of my progress on Twitter. Still available here.

Every morning, I cycle between 18 miles and 30 miles in a long loop around the Itchen River basin. Since I got my life back after an operation in 2009, I've been determined to remain fit.

My 30 mile loop- may be accessed here. (Via Wichester)

There are shortcuts on the 30 mile loop I may take if I wish. However, sometimes I may have decided on reaching Fair Oak to only complete the 18 mile loop and when I get to Eastleigh realise I'd like to have done more.

This route was designed originally to be a 7 mile optional extension to my 18 (or even 30) mile loop but makes an alternative 20 mile route in its own right.

And for those mornings I just want to cycle on and on but still be home by midday, the big loop covering all extensions is nearly 45 miles.

Another favourite route is this recreational 40 mile circular in the New Forest via the Hythe Ferry.
