January: 3 rides, 4 points
5th February: 65.20 miles - First half of ride, roads very wet but skies clear and optimistic they'd dry out. Second half of ride, torrential downpours, roads even wetter! Haven't been soaked through like this since RideLondon 2018 - https://www.strava.com/activities/4738582885 - 3 points
21st February: 39.60 miles - Exploring Chinnor and Thame while dodging non-forecasted showers. All done without being able to use my front brake properly; think it's needing a service - https://www.strava.com/activities/4825089250 - 1 point
27th February: 32.07 miles - Took advantage of the fairly decent weather to do a local 50k only as far as Wendover and Waddesdon as a warm up for a (hopefully) longer ride tomorrow - https://www.strava.com/activities/4859451741 - 1 point
28th February: 62.32 miles - Another jaunt out to Bicester (this time much drier), followed by a short ride with my wife, her first since recovering from injury, to take me to 100km - https://www.strava.com/activities/4866533591 and https://www.strava.com/activities/4866724554 - 3 points
