For one reason or another it's been awkward for me to get out on the bike. Still, managed to have a go today to see if the wheels still go round and clocked up 53 klicks.

February: 4 rides, 6 points
10th March: 54.31 miles - A mildly hilly trip into the southern half of the Chilterns, made a bit more difficult by constant drizzle making the road surfaces rather slippery. Adding on a few miles at the end also increased my Eddington score - https://www.strava.com/activities/1446089958 - 2 points
25th March: 65.59 miles - A fairly flat (for Aylesbury Vale anyway) ride out to Bicester, then brushed by the outskirts of Oxford before getting yet another increase in my Eddington number - https://www.strava.com/activities/1471171813 - 3 points
