1st January: 32.48 miles - Had to change planned route as an intended road was caked in mud (as were my tyres soon after) and the constant drizzle would have made descending it treacherous. Still got the 50km done via a different way though - https://www.strava.com/activities/2048398315 - 1 point
6th January: 34.03 miles - Cycled down to Denham with intention of taking train back. Delayed by (another) puncture and only made it to the station with thirty seconds to spare! Would have been an hour wait if I'd have missed that train - https://www.strava.com/activities/2060190662 - 1 point
13th January: 50.09 miles - Decided to challenge myself by finally tackling the hill that I crashed on in 2017. Admittedly this time I climbed it rather than trying to descend it, but still! Horrible headwind on the way out though, a real struggle at times - https://www.strava.com/activities/2075861270 - 2 points
26th January: 31.58 miles - Did my first batch of eight villages in the ABC Photo thread challenge; a gentle re-introduction after two weeks off the bike. Drizzled pretty much the entire ride - https://www.strava.com/activities/2104297252 - 1 point

If the weather forecast is correct I won't be riding outside again this month, so here are the last of my qualifying rides for January.

We have recently switched from a PC to a Mac and I can't work out how to do links from Strava (yet), so no link to the Strava ride.

21/1 B5569 to Bucklow Hill, High Legh, Tabley, Rostherne. 50.7km

25/ 1 Re-surfaced Chapel Lane, Airport, Morley Green, Tatton Park, Tatton Wall. 50.7km

28/1 Caution! Icy patches. Alderley Edge bypass out and back. 53.1km

Total points to date = 8.

Managed a 34 mile ride last Sunday.

Since then I have been loaded with cold

Nice ride out from Market Rasen to Woodhall and left my bike at Woodhall and got a lift back with the missus after walking the hound.

No desire to do a ride today with -4 and freezing fog all day.
