1st January: 33.25 miles - A ride I'd hoped to do on New Year's Eve to round out my 2023 stats, but life and weather got in the way. A few wet roads, but stayed dry myself - https://www.strava.com/activities/10473321022 - 1 point
14th January: 33.31 miles - Wrapped up extremely well to do a slight variation on my usual flat 50K, mainly because of four road closures. Got drizzled on for the last ten miles - https://www.strava.com/activities/10558419564 - 1 point

Total so far: 2 points

Another Club run but unlucky for me and had to curtail and only 60kms. Puncture wouldn’t seal. Topped up fluid, but silly plastic tool was no good at resetting the presta valve, cross threaded and it leaked air! Cheated by using Circle line back from Theydon Bois (pron. Boys!). Not my finest moment.

Club run out to Chipping Ongar. Not as cold as forecast.

80 kms bringing up my Eddington no to 50 imperial.

20th January: 34.79 miles - Cold and windy while exploring dead-end lanes I've not done before around Ivinghoe and Tring. Almost had my ride ended prematurely twice (once mechanical, once motorist) but managed to finish eventually - https://www.strava.com/activities/10595571073 - 1 point

Jan 1st 56km 441m ascent 1pt Very blustery on the coastal stretch, much more relaxed a few miles inland. Home- Ford- Yapton- Walberton- Slinfold- Eartham- Goodwood- Eartham- Walberton- Barnham- Home
Jan 24th 62.5km 369m ascent 1pt What a difference a day makes, yesterday's wind and rain replaced by warmish sunshine, at least for the 2nd half of today's cycle. Still breezy and a lot of debris on the minor lanes from yesterday's storm passage. A stretched version of my New Year Day ride but without the hill repeats at Goodwood. Home- Ford- Yapton- Walberton - Slinfold- Aldingborne- Halnaker- Goodwood- Eartham- Home

R/T 2pts
