10th November: 33.73 miles - Climbed Whiteleaf Hill without stopping (only second time ever), but then got caught in a torrential downpour and had to wait in a bus shelter for it to blow over before finishing the ride; my kit now a good deal heavier than when I started! - https://www.strava.com/activities/1956691308 - 1 point
17th November: 64.79 miles - Using cyclepaths to get in and out of Oxford meant I flew past a three mile tailback on the A40, which made me feel rather smug! Other than that a fairly standard metric century challenge ride - https://www.strava.com/activities/1969925239 - 3 points
25th November: 50.13 miles - Conquered Smalldean Lane, another one of my hated hills - it's only half a mile at 9% average, but has a 250yd section that's over 16% (briefly reaching 24%) which I normally have to walk, but not on this occasion! - https://www.strava.com/activities/1984334193 - 2 points

Total so far: 89 points (new record!)
