4th June: 66.76 miles - A incredibly nervy (for mechanical reasons) Tour of Cambridgeshire sportive. Very windy and sunny and rather fast too; over 16mph average (which is good for me) - https://www.strava.com/activities/9201233055 - 3 points
17th June: 40.44 miles - A few small extensions to my typical fast 50km route, only spoiled by a white van deciding that the best way to avoid a collision with someone in the opposite lane was to try and steer into me rather than say, use his brakes - https://www.strava.com/activities/9283003100 - 1 point

Jan to end of may 18 points.

17/06/23 - I didn’t Strava this. Sorry. Sheringham through Kelling, and on to Wells-next-the-sea and picked up the cyclepath to Holkham Hall (got battered out of the way by 2 lads on E-fatbikes, then refused to let the other 2 pass as they were just dangerous). Through Holkham grounds and home via Binham, Langham, Cley, Sheringham. 51 miles 2 points
