Apologies for my tardiness, been a very busy Feb with work, sadly the weather was also appalling but I did manage to get out a few times:

Jan 9 points

Feb 5 Very chilly out (https://www.strava.com/activities/6633336737) 50.4km, 123m
Feb 10 A break in the rain (https://www.strava.com/activities/6659663169) 51.66km, 90m
Feb 11 The sun actually came out for this ride 😊 (https://www.strava.com/activities/6664631735) 50.5km, 99m
Feb 25 A full 2 weeks of constant rain but this day was lovely, still wet in places but an enjoyable ride (https://www.strava.com/activities/6734571122) 52.34km, 97m
Feb 26 At last I managed to squeeze in my monthly century, Strava route and this one was great (https://www.strava.com/activities/6739273965) 101.27km, 435m

7 points for Feb, bit of a disappointing month all told, in fact the first 2 months have been rubbish compared to last year. weather is starting to turn now though so hopefully a better March. Will be out later to get the March ride in.

Total so far 16 points

1st March. Ashley, High Legh, Arley, Tabley, B5569. 51km

I thought I'd calculated the distance spot on, but the dreaded 49km showed as my front door approached, so an extra unplanned loop was added.

Technically under the rules you have 24 hrs to complete a ride . I leave it to the individual to decide if they think it's one ride or two . Me I would class that as two rides if you returned home changed clothes then went out again ,However if you just stopped at home for refreshments that's one ride
