17th November: 64.79 miles - Using cyclepaths to get in and out of Oxford meant I flew past a three mile tailback on the A40, which made me feel rather smug! Other than that a fairly standard metric century challenge ride - https://www.strava.com/activities/1969925239 - 3 points

25th November: 50.13 miles - Conquered Smalldean Lane, another one of my hated hills - it's only half a mile at 9% average, but has a 250yd section that's over 16% (briefly reaching 24%) which I normally have to walk, but not on this occasion! - https://www.strava.com/activities/1984334193 - 2 points
