Well, managed to clock up a nice 35.8 miles today so have doubled my total points (even though I missed feb). Chorley-Eccleston-Mawdesly- Rufford- Croston-Walmer Bridge- Longton- Hutton- Farington- Leyalnd- Chorley. Snow capped hills all around - chilly breeze but mostly sunny. 1 cafe stop to warm up

Good Friday excellent run-out of 47miles (yes should have gone for the 50 miles but I was too tired!!) - Chorley-Eccleston- Hilldale-Newburgh-Ring O Bells- Aughton- Clieves Hills-Rufford-Mawdesely- Chorley
I would have 3 points now if I hadn't missed Feb
