2nd January - 50.8km (https://www.strava.com/activities/818895956) - Hills, black ice and a bit of a bump...starting with flair!
17th January - 61.4km (https://www.strava.com/activities/834997768) - Chilly West London meander
22nd January - 53.3km (https://www.strava.com/activities/840597412) - Icy/dicey ride. Kop Hill, Wiggans Lane, Smalldean Lane, Dunsmore West climbs
25th February - 101.1km (https://www.strava.com/activities/879222825) - Very windy ride with Steve. If they were both my bikes do I get double points?
3rd March - 55.0km (https://www.strava.com/activities/886188911) - Wet, windy and mucky. Got back looking like I came last in a CX race!
26th March - 52.4lm (https://www.strava.com/activities/915867832) - Sneaky fifty, midges galore along the River Lee but a nice ride.
28th March - 50.1km (https://www.strava.com/activities/918298916) - Sometimes you just need to take the long way home.
30th March - 80.0km (https://www.strava.com/activities/920853350) - Pure cyclotherapy ride, BP was getting me down. Slow but nice.
27th April - 50.0km (https://www.strava.com/activities/960090698) - Thames-side meander, nice gentle ride down to Greenwich (and back)
(btw, I'm not putting points totals on here this year as I'm posting 100km+ rides in the other challenge thread)
