12th March: 32.67 miles - Testing negative when all around me are positive means I need to make the most of my time outside of the house! Very windy ride, which was great when it was behind me, bit of a struggle when it wasn't - https://www.strava.com/activities/6813043147 - 1 point
28th March: 62.38 miles - Recovering from an Achilles injury earlier in the month, so kept my route out to Oxford and back as flat as possible, didn't go fast and took plenty of rest stops, just to be on the safe side. Lovely weather though - https://www.strava.com/activities/6896791086 - 3 points

March summary:
3 March: Truro to north coast (of Cornwall) via Newquay and back through St Columb Major. 74k
6 March: Around the lanes: Stithians, Devoran, Feock, Blackwater, Redruth, Stithians. 52k
11 March: Portugal; Campo Maior to Elvas and back. It rained all the way round and I was cold. 55k
13 March: Portugal: country roads around Lagos starting from Praia de Luz. Didn't rain this time. 51k
16 March: Portugal; gravel roads between Alvor and Armacao de Pera including the one way alleys and cobbled streets of Portmaio. 62k
18 March: Portugal; Praia de Luz and back via country lanes and a good few hills. 54k
24 March: Portugal: hilly country south of Vila Real in northern Portugal. Barragem de Vilar and back via a number of hamlets which all had very steep, slippery cobbled roads. 52k
25 March: Portugal; another ride around the hills of northern Portugal just south of the Duoro valley (wine growing region) starting from Bargain de Vilar and passing through more cobbled hamlets and hills - including two Cat 3 hills. 52k
In case anyone was feeling slightly envious that Madame Crow and I have been cycling in Portugal, our arrival coincided with the end of a 12 month drought and the beginning of a very unsettled period of heavy rain and strong, cold winds. Most days it was warmer and sunnier in the UK than it was for us. I thought I would only need short sleeves and bib shorts. I was wearing every layer I possessed. Brrrr...
"You said it wouldn't rain today..."
Anyone fancy a swim?
