5th May: 37.79 miles - Unable to do the long distance route I'd planned for this weekend (yet), so settled for a jaunt round some local villages, most of which were familiar, but one I'd never been through before (reason: turns out it was a dead end!) - https://www.strava.com/activities/2343848422 - 1 point
6th May: 70.06 miles - Got the long ride done, but it was even longer than planned thanks to a closed road diversion north of Silverstone - had to wing it a little as this isn't an area I'm familiar with and my mobile battery was dead - https://www.strava.com/activities/2346696260 - 3 points
