As I missed February, I'm on a March to February schedule. A couple of 32+ mile rides - back and forth and further into the depths of Bexleyheath. And a similar ride to Erith along the river, a few new roads, and the headwind made me realise why it had been so easy setting out.

5 and 6 April

London to Victoria Station, Bognor to Southsea (34.40 miles), returning the next day (40.34)

4 May

Deptford to Bexleyheath - I've almost cracked every road in Bexleyheath - 35.51

6 June

37.18 all around Belvedere, discovering that Belvedere pretends to have a village. Also the daftest one way system I've come across in London - and I've seen a few....

22 July

41.61 miles today around the wonders of Northumberland Heath, which appears to have no heath and is nowhere near Northumberland. It has a reservoir though. And it leaks.

2 August

40.09 miles. Deptford out to Northumberland Heath again to ride a few roads I'd not covered. And then a gentle ride back along the river in the sunshine.
