7th June: 67.23 miles - The final edition of my local sportive the Tour de Vale after well over 20 years (of which I took part in at least half). Strong winds made going very tough at times - https://www.strava.com/activities/18730579952 - 3 points
13th June: 69.03 miles - Bike back from LBS after final pre-LEJOG service. Rode up to MK and back via some rather sketchy and/or useless cycle infrastructure - no wonder it's easier using the roads - https://www.strava.com/activities/18904414650 - 3 points
14th June: 32.20 miles - An out and back route to Marsh Gibbon with some fresh tarmac to try and set some segment PRs on. Had to wear some old kit which has seen better days, maybe time to buy more? - https://www.strava.com/activities/18915862929 - 1 point
21st June: 31.88 miles - Of two possible routes to Chequers, I took the longer but (relatively) flatter and quieter (with regards to traffic) one there and back, which in this heat was probably wise - https://www.strava.com/activities/19012370583 - 1 point
