13th April: 67.56 miles - A ride down to Dorchester on Thames and back, where I was either too hot when the sun was out, or too cold when it wasn't - seemingly had to stop every five miles to remove/add layers, which grew quite tiresome - https://www.strava.com/activities/2287014530 - 3 points
19th April: 74.76 miles - Gorgeous weather for a long ride along one of my flatter routes out westward. Extended as far as Heyford and Kidlington for the first time - https://www.strava.com/activities/2302304550 - 3 points
