July: 4 rides, 6 points
1st August: 31.22 miles - Abandoned my planned 70+ miler when the rain that the forecasts said was meant to be a brief shower, turned out to be a downpour which would have continued for most of the rest of my ride - https://www.strava.com/activities/5721047078 - 1 point
10th August: 32.01 miles - Probably my final chance to get a midweek point as from next week I'll no longer be working from home. Route out to Haddenham with lots of meandering to achieve the required mileage - https://www.strava.com/activities/5770981627 - 1 point
15th August: 76.39 miles - The third attempt at doing my planned route out to Towcester and this time I completed it! No major climbs but very little flat either - https://www.strava.com/activities/5797998962 - 3 points
19th August: 33.49 miles - Rode a lap around Beauly Firth in the Inverness area as part of my prep for Etape Loch Ness on Sunday - https://www.strava.com/activities/5817941447 - 1 point
20th August: 41.17 miles - Another Inverness ride, this time featuring a long climb (needed the practice) and visits to Clava Cairns and Culloden - https://www.strava.com/activities/5822695838 - 1 point
22nd August: 65.01 miles - Etape Loch Ness 2021, first closed-road sportive since Covid began. Very enjoyable, even the big climb wasn’t that bad - https://www.strava.com/activities/5833270692 - 3 points
30th August: 31.10 miles - A short ride out to see a new local cycleway (or rather, an extension to an existing one) that I then extended to make a full 50km route - https://www.strava.com/activities/5877884625 - 1 point
