5th July: 52.00 miles - Flat fast route out towards Bicester. Altered route direction on the fly to give me a tailwind instead of a headwind on a section of road typically used for TTs - https://www.strava.com/activities/15016598143 - 2 points
13th July: 31.96 miles - First of what hopefully should be eight consecutive days on the bike in training for next year's adventure. Rode a meandering route up to Milton Keynes in the heat of the middle of the day - https://www.strava.com/activities/15101362982 - 1 point
14th July: 65.10 miles - Second day of my BBC tour (Beds, Bucks and Cambs), got up early-ish and rode out to Flitwick, Sharnbrook and Cranfield. Struggled a bit with heat on return leg - https://www.strava.com/activities/15110336096 - 3 points
15th July: 52.28 miles - Slightly shorter day on my tour to ensure I got back before the rain started. Went up to Olney and Cranfield (again) filling in a lot of VV tiles - https://www.strava.com/activities/15120776136 - 2 points
16th July: 62.67 miles - Exploration of the rural and suburban areas around Bedford; missed a turning that I'll have to go back for on a later ride, although more of a concern was a dodgy knee flaring up halfway round - https://www.strava.com/activities/15133956849 and https://www.strava.com/activities/15133682545 - 3 points
18th July: 67.65 miles - Very hot ride from Bedford up to Leighton Bromswold with the intention of joining up my main cluster of rides to those I'd done as part of the former Tour of Cambridgeshire - https://www.strava.com/activities/15155634050 - 3 points

Total so far: 64 points
