5th May: 37.79 miles - Unable to do the long distance route I'd planned for this weekend (yet), so settled for a jaunt round some local villages, most of which were familiar, but one I'd never been through before (reason: turns out it was a dead end!) - https://www.strava.com/activities/2343848422 - 1 point
6th May: 70.06 miles - Got the long ride done, but it was even longer than planned thanks to a closed road diversion north of Silverstone - had to wing it a little as this isn't an area I'm familiar with and my mobile battery was dead - https://www.strava.com/activities/2346696260 - 3 points

25th May: 81.07 miles - Crank started to drop off; wife had to drive out and deliver correct Allen key to me to fix it! Carried on westwards to do Yarnton (for ABC challenge) and Whytham (for VeloViewer tile purposes), then back home via Oxford - https://www.strava.com/activities/2396540253 - 3 points
