10th November: 50.27 miles - Bumpy little route up towards Buckingham (a direction I haven't gone in a while), roads still slippery and wet from overnight rain, but still enjoyable. First imperial half for three months - https://www.strava.com/activities/2855359653 - 2 points
17th November: 37.01 miles - Don't care it's only November; as soon as I feel cold on a ride and start getting punctures (as I did today), I say it's winter! Shorter ride than anticipated, but threw in Ivinghoe Beacon to make up for it - https://www.strava.com/activities/2871905961 - 1 point

Total so far: 56 points
