Careful with that axle Eugene
An early tootle round the lanes before the sun got too high. Northway, Elmstone Hardwicke, Staverton, Wainlode Hill, Chaceley, Tewkesbury, Eckington for 57km. One unnecessary close pass from an 'erbert in one of those crappy Mazda 6 saloons.

3rd July: 32.81 miles - A "wonder where that road goes?" sort of a ride. Answer: up an 11% hill that had recently been re-chipped which only led to a dead end, meaning I had to come back down it again on the brakes all the way! - https://www.strava.com/activities/7409329324 - 1 point
14th July: 66.31 miles - Took the train up to Banbury and rode back on a somewhat circuitous route. Aimed to avoid the worst of the heat by leaving early; was okay until the last 10 miles - https://www.strava.com/activities/7466313754 and https://www.strava.com/activities/7467710608 - 3 points

Total so far: 37 points
