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
16th February: 31.10 miles - Three layers on the legs, four on the torso, double socked and double gloved and STILL was feeling the cold towards the end of the ride! Got out though and that's all that matters - https://www.strava.com/activities/13644008879 - 1 point
22nd February: 31.64 miles - Racing at first towards and then later being followed by a very large, very dark cloud. Only rained on me a little bit - think the wind was too strong for it to really pour down like it threatened to - https://www.strava.com/activities/13644008879 - 1 point
