[Chap sur le velo]

I'm still (on) here.

3 points this month and as I did two more long rides after last report, gives a total of 10 for the year.

Yesterday 9th, my last chance of the month as I’m off on holiday. So somewhat relieved when an appointment cancelled and I meandered around north London Haringey, Southgate to Enfield all new to me.

Completed my 50kms.
