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
15th June: 72.74 miles - Route down to the River Thames, across and back; rain near the start of the ride, blazing sun for the rest, nice lunch stop in Henley - https://www.strava.com/activities/14809889026 - 3 points
21st June: 40.52 miles - Got up early to ride before it got too hot. Traced route of old A41 east through towns and villages from before it was turned into bypasses - https://www.strava.com/activities/14867376968 - 1 point
