1st March: 34.58 miles - Left town with a tailwind at the start of my ride and came back into town with a tailwind at the end. Tried to curve the rest of my route to avoid having a direct headwind for as much of it as possible - https://www.strava.com/activities/3145291843 - 1 point
7th March: 51.63 miles - First 50 miler of 2020, done almost exclusively under threateningly dark skies, although never felt more than a handful of drops of rain - https://www.strava.com/activities/3162296755 - 2 points
22nd March: 32.51 miles - Finally got a semi-hilly ride done, but might be my last for a while, given the lockdown that will almost certainly be coming soon (based on the blatant lack of social distancing I saw while out on my ride) - https://www.strava.com/activities/3207022405 - 1 point
