The 2025 Half Century (50km or 50 mile) a Month Challenge

[steverob]

January: 1 ride, 1 point
2nd February: 32.39 miles - Did my best with only limited time for riding due to waiting until the frost had disappeared from the shady side of the roads. Got to play with my new bike cleaning gizmo when I got back though - https://www.strava.com/activities/13520486185 - 1 point
11th February: 45.04 miles - An interesting ride around London suburbs kind of spoiled by a puncture; changing the tube wasn't a problem, but it made me miss my train and I couldn't get another for three hours - https://www.strava.com/activities/13600392810 - 1 point

Total so far: 3 points

Hope you don't mind but I've just downloaded that route as I'm in London in March with a bike (if the weather's good) and I may modify i to suit what time I've got available.
