So 2 rides in June made 7 points total, I have just popped in a July ride for 8!
A 45 mile ride, Bognor to Petworth, with an attempt (successful) of Houghton Hill, near Amberley.
I did stop, for a drink, and pictures, but got to the top without a walk!
A short ride report is in ‘Your ride today’ on this day, 15th July. (pg 1942]
8 points for my first go at this, not as many as some, but I’m happy to be able to make at least 1 ride a month count for something.

Ah the memories. Thanks @stoatsngroats I absolutely love this photograph, reminds me so much of when I lived and cycled round the Yorkshire and Lincolnshire Moors. Whilst Taiwan is a stunningly beautiful country it does consist mainly of rivers and mountains, very little idyllic rolling countryside. Such very happy memories indeed. Keep em coming 😊
