1st July: 73.85 miles - LEJOG Day 4: Wookey Hole to Much Birch - Met up with a CycleChat/Zwift buddy, crossed into Wales and did more climbing than expected - https://www.strava.com/activities/19139465027 - 3 points
2nd July: 68.58 miles - LEJOG Day 5: Much Birch to Shrewsbury - Struggled with finding a comfortable position on the saddle, my bum finally taking revenge on me - https://www.strava.com/activities/19151180012 - 3 points
3rd July: 80.19 miles - LEJOG Day 6: Shrewsbury to Leigh - A long but relatively flat route meant a surprisingly enjoyable day riding with others - https://www.strava.com/activities/19164615704 - 3 points
4th July: 69.24 miles - LEJOG Day 7: Leigh to Carnforth - From an urban sprawl start to climbing the Cross of Greet in horrible weather conditions - https://www.strava.com/activities/19177724193 - 3 points

6th July: 77.35 miles - LEJOG Day 9: Gretna to Larkhall - Most of the day spent following alongside the M74 but a cold I picked up two days ago has started to affect my performance - http://www.strava.com/activities/19202419117 - 3 points
7th July: 61.49 miles - LEJOG Day 10: Larkhall to Inveruglas - Combination of aformentioned cold and a crash on the Loch Lomond cyclepath led me to cut today short and finish the day in the van - http://www.strava.com/activities/19215369558 - 2 points
8th July: 59.16 miles - LEJOG Day 11: Glencoe to Fort Augustus - Another partial day, this time starting in the van, then doing the back end of the stage. Health deteriorating and not sure if I will continue - http://www.strava.com/activities/19229761303 - 2 points
9th July: 37.31 miles - LELN Final Day: Fort Augustus to Inverness - Ended the tour early at the north end of Loch Ness (which is why the new acronym) as I could not feasibly go any further with my current poor health - http://www.strava.com/activities/19241811865 - 1 point
