While 'rusty bearing' was out doing a 100km with Cyclechat gang I had a solo toddle out and managed a very nice 33miles from Chorley-Euxton-Eccleston-Hilldale-Mawdesely-Croston-Walmer Bridge-Farington-Chorley. Lovely weather - bright and sunny defo felt like spring even my legs. So I'd have 4 points now

With 'rustybearing' on a sunny hilly ride33.4 miles from Chorley-Brinscall- Abbey Villlage-Belmont-Cadshw-Chapeltown-Edgeworth- return via Chapeltown to Belmont then over Belmont towards Rivington- Limbrick-Chorley. Not a cloud in the sky - fab views, hot, sunny - like summer. So my 5 would-have been points are now 6 would-have-beens
