April: 5 rides, 8 points
May: 6 rides, 11 points
5th June: 33.34 miles - Waited until the late afternoon to head out so the heat subsided and visited some local roads Strava thinks I've never done, possibly because it was pre-2012 (when I got a GPS) the last time I went down them - https://www.strava.com/activities/5419172128 - 1 point
7th June: 65.61 miles - Already beaten last year's point total! Rode down to the Thames via the Wycombe to Wooburn Green hill avoidance route, then across to Marlow and some lumpier roads home - https://www.strava.com/activities/5429388647 - 3 points
12th June: 40.07 miles - Extended my now standard "Fast 50km" route by continuing along to the next set of villages before making my turnaround point. Was let down by a new piece of kit though; bit annoyed by that - https://www.strava.com/activities/5458599915 - 1 point
16th June: 32.22 miles - Made the most of what looks like it might be the last dry evening for a short while by blitzing segments of the now partially open Aylesbury eastern relief road, plus a trip to explore a couple of villages off the beaten trail - https://www.strava.com/activities/5481144332 - 1 point
19th June: 37.21 miles - Stalled for far too long at home so ended up having to do a shorter ride than I really should have; my own fault entirely - https://www.strava.com/activities/5496734880 - 1 point
26th June: 62.18 miles - Extended an originally planned 55 mile undulating ride up to a 100km one, partially because I kept getting lost in Milton Keynes, other times slightly more deliberately - https://www.strava.com/activities/5533253582 - 3 points
