27th July: 31.53 miles - Second latest in a month that I've left my qualifying ride! Had to wait for the rain to cease, but eventually got out late afternoon for a simple, flat and relatively easy 50K, just to cross it off - https://www.strava.com/activities/2567743192 - 1 point
28th July: 31.56 miles - Another easy 50km, left until the early evening this time. Uneventful until the last km, when I came off on a muddy cyclepath corner (my own fault, took it too fast). Think I've escaped with just cuts and scrapes though - https://www.strava.com/activities/2570948422 - 1 point
