Target distance: 50 miles (eventually decided after much humming and hawing over this)
Today's ride: 53.22 miles - https://www.strava.com/activities/3643459115 - Stayed mainly on the flat lands to the west of Aylesbury; used the tailwind whenever I had one to do some pseudo TT-like efforts, but most of the ride was done at quite a gentle pace.
---------------------------
Rides in order of distance so far this year:
1. 53.22 miles - 20th June - Some tailwind assisted TT efforts, rest was flat and easy
2. 51.63 miles - 7th March - A rain threatened ride which never really amounted to anything
