Late to update January (hope that’s OK)

Pre amble:
I noticed this thread as soon as I joined up (here last autumn) and immediately wanted to have a go at 50km rides and as a Lockdown cyclist I gradually built to 60kms, 22 12 2020.

Started coughing on 23rd, tested next day and my present on 25th was a text saying Covid positive! Family all caught it and we were very lucky and suffered only a few nights bad sleep and a lingering cough to slow me down. Also lost 5lbs and as I’ve built up strength 4 have stayed off – result!

So wanting getting on this thread had a new intensity and it was a real motivation just to get back to where I was before. First weeks a little difficult but on 17th of January headed due to north through Epping Forest towards Harlow and 62 km

https://www.strava.com/activities/4635871172

No stopping me now. Headed across London to circle Richmond Park 3x – my first ever 50 mile ride. 82kms 27 01 21

https://www.strava.com/activities/4689567485

Just time 31 01 21, for a more interesting trip North, towards Epping then Stableford Abbotts, Abridge, Chigwell and home. 57km https://www.strava.com/activities/4711534391

Have now set my cap at on the 50mile a month challenge (will be more difficult once Golf, Swimming and Travel return).

4 points I believe – aiming for 50 this year. Loving the challenge...tbc

PS feels odd to be thanking someone I've never met and I'm never likely too, but a huge Shout Out (as the kids say) to the organiser of this thread for giving me extra mojo!
