5th October: 39.65 miles - An almost 20 mile ride to a railway bridge near Bicester to try and set a personal record, then a 20 mile ride back home! Kind of pointless, but kind of fun at the same time - https://www.strava.com/activities/12582175124 - 1 point
11th October: 31.21 miles - A week off work with no real plans to speak of, so hoping to do a series of short flat rides on as many days as possible; this one being the first - https://www.strava.com/activities/12629392318 - 1 point
13th October: 37.38 miles - A very similar route to last Saturday's except the other way round; many of my the roads in my preferred direction of travel are still flooded, so that limits what routes I can take - https://www.strava.com/activities/12646856231 - 1 point
15th October: 31.49 miles - Managed to get a 50km ride done between waiting for phone calls from the vet. Entered that phase of the year where it's still too warm for winter cycling clothing, but too cold for the summer gear - https://www.strava.com/activities/12661818848 - 1 point
