At last a bike ride in 2025 and a qualifier to boot! First ride for 18 days:
Date: January 18th
Boskins Loop - the bulk of my rides are named after cafes!
Distance: 51.9 miles
Climbing: 1890 feet
Average: 12.9mph (disappointing after 37 miles with the group at 14.9 but the last 15 miles did include all the climbing)
Points: 2
Home >Wheelton >Euxton >Eccleston >Mawdesley >Rufford >Holmeswood >Hesketh Bank >Tarleton (cafe stop) >Bretherton >Moss Side >Euxton >Buckshaw >Whittle le Woods >Wheelton >Brinscall >Withnell >Abbey Village >Hoghton Roundabout >Home
This is my biggest post accident ride. Pleased with the ride and more importantly I'm not tired.

18th January: 38.42 miles - Possibly the coldest I've been on a bike, especially for the last half hour of the ride, even though the temps didn't officially drop below freezing. Still, I'm on the board for 2025 - https://www.strava.com/activities/13388530175 - 1 point
Total so far: 1 point
