January: 3 rides, 4 points
February: 4 rides, 8 points
March: 5 rides, 8 points
April: 5 rides, 8 points
1st May: 50.40 miles - Rode through Wycombe's (very) hilly housing estates, back via Lane End, then tackled Radnage Lane and Wigans Lane from the opposite directions to which I always had previously; up the first and down the second - https://www.strava.com/activities/5224306023 - 2 points
9th May: 67.94 miles - VeloViewer tile hunting in and around Luton, which involved riding on some surfaces that maybe weren't best suited to a road bike. Even went through a ford for the first time - let's just say I was glad it was a warm day! - https://www.strava.com/activities/5268916459 - 3 points
14th May: 31.55 miles - A second post-work super fast 50km with lots of PRs, this time the reverse route of the one I did back in March. A lot cooler though; no shorts and short sleeves this time - https://www.strava.com/activities/5296815238 - 1 point
23rd May: 32.81 miles - Tried to time my ride to avoid the rain but no such luck; got caught by three separate showers and one downpour with a little hail mixed in - https://www.strava.com/activities/5344646913 - 1 point

Total so far: 35 points
