[steverob]

January: 1 ride, 1 point
February: 4 rides, 4 points
March: 3 rides, 4 points
5th April: 38.59 miles - Rode around Slough, Windsor and South Bucks to fill in some gaps in my map while the missus went to watch a football match - https://www.strava.com/activities/14089939553 - 1 point
6th April: 32.98 miles - Took advantage of the main road to Oxford being closed again but only to motorised traffic, giving me some quiet roads on a route to Thame and back - https://www.strava.com/activities/14099549982 - 1 point
8th April: 31.14 miles - Just enough time to get a post-WFH 50km ride in before the sun set - my usual flat route out to Edgcott for exactly this sort of circumstance coming in handy - https://www.strava.com/activities/14119517422 - 1 point
12th April: 50.84 miles - Re-riding some sections of an old sportive I used to do many years ago, enjoying the good weather while it lasts - https://www.strava.com/activities/14157491454 - 2 points
18th April: 64.49 miles - Figure eight route round the Lillingstone hamlets near Silverstone. Really chilly wind, tail on the way out, head on the return - https://www.strava.com/activities/14214059897 - 3 points
20th April: 63.28 miles - A rarity for me, two 100km rides within 48 hours of each other. Did Watlington Hill and a bit of the Phoenix Trail but still struggled with the wind - https://www.strava.com/activities/14234311262 - 3 points

Total so far: 20 points
