Crosby beach and a local landmark. Understand this was one of the markers for measuring speed during trials of new built ships in the area.
 
After working away quite a bit I once again find myself back as a slave to the bike. Just gone past 3300Km.

Present aim is to break 4000 by mid April and then bring on the 5000 before 12th July when I started this '1000Km' jaunt. After that?
 
I was never going to be happy with stopping at 1000Km. Today went through the 4000Km barrier.
