1st June: 63.27 miles - Nice tailwind on the way home but legs too knackered from battling the headwind on the way out to take full advantage of it!

8th June: 75.56 miles - Tour de Vale, my local sportive. Used to take part every year but have been slacking or busy for recent editions and this was my first attempt since 2019 - https://www.strava.com/activities/14734284033 - 3 points
