11th April: 52.35 miles - A real hodge-podge of weather conditions, including a short snow shower, where I got paced up the A40 hill to Stokenchurch by a group of HWCC riders and managed two other new (to me) climbs - https://www.strava.com/activities/5108979297 - 2 points

25th April: 32.72 miles - Didn't fancy the route I'd originally planned (laziness / strong winds) so went instead for one big climb in the Chilterns followed by a lot of flatter meandering around town to get the distance target done - https://www.strava.com/activities/5190651333 - 1 point
