2nd June: 102.15 miles - Tour of Cambridgeshire 2019. Really tough going. They ran out of food and water at most of the Pit Stops before I arrived and there was a horribly strong headwind for most of the last 30 miles that ground everyone to a halt - https://www.strava.com/activities/2418698687 - 4 points
9th June: 68.89 miles - Rode the Tour de Vale (my most local annual sportive) with my good friend Adam; distance includes ride from and to home. Couple of tough hills in the second half of the route, but still quite a pleasant ride nonetheless - https://www.strava.com/activities/2436380715 - 3 points
11th June: 31.14 miles - Hired a bike in Dundee and rode to Carnoustie and back; out via Broughty Ferry and the NCN 1 coastal path, back via Barry Links and the Green Circular route (mainly parallel with the A92) - https://www.strava.com/activities/2448024426 - 1 point
16th June: 31.21 miles - Local, flat, figure of eight ride, timed deliberately to avoid the showers that had been coming down on and off all day. Didn't think I was going that fast, but pleasantly surprised to achieve a few PRs - https://www.strava.com/activities/2455218247 - 1 point
23rd June: 38.96 miles - The classic loop around Aylesbury, a route that I've been doing for donkey's years - even going back to a time when I thought a 50km ride was an epic distance, one which would leave me exhausted for the week afterwards! - https://www.strava.com/activities/2474066809 - 1 point
30th June: 53.20 miles - Cycled from Aylesbury into Central London (well almost - Zone 2) utilising as many back roads, country lanes and suburban cut throughs as I could to avoid the busy main roads. Took train back home - https://www.strava.com/activities/2492487018 - 2 points
