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
17th July: 33.08 miles - A 6:30am start was the only way I was going to get a point today without running the risk of melting! Stayed fairly local and enjoyed the emptier roads, even if I missed my usual lie-in - https://www.strava.com/activities/7481829308 - 1 point
23rd July: 50.13 miles - Train and tube down to Moor Park, a private estate on the edge of London; the comparison between riding around there and the London suburbs that made up the rest of the ride was pretty stark! - strava.com/7516844532 (main part of ride), strava.com/7514670050 & strava.com/7516545728 (rides between home and stations) - 2 points
27th July: 31.71 miles - Post WFH ride, the first half of which was spent riding towards some VERY dark clouds; luckily they didn't follow me home once I turned. Got 50km done just under the 2 hour mark, which was pleasing - https://www.strava.com/activities/7538762979 - 1 point

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
17th July: 33.08 miles - A 6:30am start was the only way I was going to get a point today without running the risk of melting! Stayed fairly local and enjoyed the emptier roads, even if I missed my usual lie-in - https://www.strava.com/activities/7481829308 - 1 point
23rd July: 50.13 miles - Train and tube down to Moor Park, a private estate on the edge of London; the comparison between riding around there and the London suburbs that made up the rest of the ride was pretty stark! - strava.com/7516844532 (main part of ride), strava.com/7514670050 & strava.com/7516545728 (rides between home and stations) - 2 points
27th July: 31.71 miles - Post WFH ride, the first half of which was spent riding towards some VERY dark clouds; luckily they didn't follow me home once I turned. Got 50km done just under the 2 hour mark, which was pleasing - https://www.strava.com/activities/7538762979 - 1 point
