1st January: 62.26 miles - A hilly first half through Whipsnade, Dunstable and Toddington, then hide from the unexpected rain in a McDonalds, before a flatter meandering route home to get my first 100km challenge ride done - https://www.strava.com/activities/6455967242 - 3 points
9th January: 31.14 miles - A shorter loop out to the hills at Ashendon and Dorton, designed to give me a tailwind home all the way from Thame. Sun very low and bright while climbing, should have taken my shades! - https://www.strava.com/activities/6496688064 - 1 point
16th January: 31.09 miles - While my bike is being serviced, went up to the Lee Valley VeloPark cycle track and hired a bike there. 30 laps (ish) later, managed my 50km - https://www.strava.com/activities/6534562422 - 1 point
23rd January: 45.14 miles - Ride along the edge of the Chilterns without really doing too much actual climbing. Tried to extend to 50 miles but toes ended up getting too cold and abandoned that idea - https://www.strava.com/activities/6569836651 - 1 point

Total so far: 6 points
