1st May: 50.40 miles - Rode through Wycombe's (very) hilly housing estates, back via Lane End, then tackled Radnage Lane and Wigans Lane from the opposite directions to which I always had previously; up the first and down the second - https://www.strava.com/activities/5224306023 - 2 points
9th May: 67.94 miles - VeloViewer tile hunting in and around Luton, which involved riding on some surfaces that maybe weren't best suited to a road bike.
