[footloose crow]

I missed July and August but pleased to report two 50K rides whilst on holiday in Norfolk where the hills have been ironed to a very flattering gradient. I know the gap means it doesn't count but I can begin again in January. Assuming no lockdown Part 2......

4 Sept. Fakenham to Castle Rising and back. 36 miles

7 Sept. Beccles to Southwold and back. 34miles.

Will attempt a Cornish 50 at some point.
