14th July: 70.03 miles - Pushing further east, almost as far as Hitchin, then back via Luton estate roads and the Busway. My stop for an ice-cream with 25 miles to go backfired though; cooled me down, but left me with a dodgy stomach for the rest of the ride - https://www.strava.com/activities/1702058808 - 3 points

21st July: 32.29 miles - Shorter ride than usual, as I'll (hopefully) do my final long training ride tomorrow. Did a bit of the new Aylesbury to Waddesdon Greenway - certainly better than using the busy A41!
