April: 4 rides, 8 points
May: 4 rides, 8 points (becoming a bit of a trend here...)
2nd June: 102.15 miles - Tour of Cambridgeshire 2019. Really tough going. They ran out of food and water at most of the Pit Stops before I arrived and there was a horribly strong headwind for most of the last 30 miles that ground everyone to a halt - https://www.strava.com/activities/2418698687 - 4 points
9th June: 68.89 miles - Rode the Tour de Vale (my most local annual sportive) with my good friend Adam; distance includes ride from and to home. Couple of tough hills in the second half of the route, but still quite a pleasant ride nonetheless - https://www.strava.com/activities/2436380715 - 3 points
11th June: 31.14 miles - Hired a bike in Dundee and rode to Carnoustie and back; out via Broughty Ferry and the NCN 1 coastal path, back via Barry Links and the Green Circular route (mainly parallel with the A92) - https://www.strava.com/activities/2448024426 - 1 point
16th June: 31.21 miles - Local, flat, figure of eight ride, timed deliberately to avoid the showers that had been coming down on and off all day. Didn't think I was going that fast, but pleasantly surprised to achieve a few PRs - https://www.strava.com/activities/2455218247 - 1 point
