January: 5 rides, 8 points
February: 2 rides, 4 points
March: 2 rides, 4 points
3rd April: 31.15 miles - Had been quite a pleasant countryside ride until some a*se in a 4x4 tried to bully me off the road with six miles to go - https://www.strava.com/activities/6926526054 - 1 point
10th April: 34.85 miles - Starting to add a bit more elevation to my shorter rides; four short sharp climbs today, two of which were new to me, but the road surfaces on some of the descents left a lot to be desired! - https://www.strava.com/activities/6959942663 - 1 point
16th April: 31.36 miles - Feeling a bit lazy and certainly have not made proper use of the bank holiday and the glorious weather, but did get out for a local bimble which I extended till I hit 50km - https://www.strava.com/activities/6992071251 - 1 point
18th April: 31.41 miles - Another opportunity for a long ride goes begging, but did head out to Soulbury for the first time in quite a while (which used to be one of my regular destinations) - https://www.strava.com/activities/7002300613 - 1 point
24th April: 62.17 miles - A very blowy ride out to Waterperry Gardens, through Oxford Brookes University campus and lots of detours due to road closures - https://www.strava.com/activities/7033995908 - 3 points
30th April: 32.79 miles - Starting to wonder if someone has fitted a magnet to my bike that only attracts the worst drivers. Near miss with a white van man once again colours a previously relaxed ride - https://www.strava.com/activities/7065019781 - 1 point

Total so far: 24 points
