January: 2 rides, 4 points
February: 6 rides, 8 points
March: 3 rides, 7 points
April: 5 rides, 7 points
2nd May: 76.66 miles - Relatively flat ride in terms of feet per mile, lunch at Annie's Cafe in Thrupp by the Oxford Canal and a handful of miles unintentionally tagging on the back of someone else's club ride - https://www.strava.com/activities/18348083932 - 3 points
4th May: 31.22 miles - Considerably cooler than Saturday's ride, but still (just about) bib shorts weather. Pushed a little bit harder, knowing I was only out for a short ride - https://www.strava.com/activities/18373332305 - 1 point
9th May: 78.65 miles - Oddly few cars about on the roads my route took me through. Train from Haddenham to Bicester, lunch at a garage because my planned stop was closed for refurb, rather undulating terrain - https://www.strava.com/activities/18435214476 & https://www.strava.com/activities/18441479390 - 3 points
16th May: 37.45 miles - Left my ride until it was late (and threatening rain) so did a much shorter one than planned. Traversed one of the recently opened bridges over HS2 in both directions - https://www.strava.com/activities/18531926780 - 1 point
17th May: 52.48 miles - Up Brill Hill the steep side, two stops for snacks and a rather cruel wind, but got home before it started raining - https://www.strava.com/activities/18543825045 - 2 points
23rd May: 73.09 miles - Second hilliest ride I've done apparently and certainly a lot hotter than the number one was. Bison Hill the only categorised climb but I counted at least ten others that were notable - https://www.strava.com/activities/18623248613 - 3 points

Total so far: 39 points
