What a motivator this thread is.

On Jan 29 I realised there probably would not be a better opportunity before the end of the month so I forced myself out , and forced myself to keep going despite the wind , the low temperature , and at about 25 miles , painfully cold feet.

On Feb 21 it was a ride of two halves. I did four laps of RP and went home , total 31 miles , had a cake stop , then set off towards Chertsey for the second half.
On March 5 I was lured out by a bit of sun. Realised it was cold and windy. Did seven laps of RP , back past my house at 52 miles then on towards Lower Sunbury for the rest. Got a pnucture at Hampton Court outgoing.
On March 17 I went to Dorking via Hampton Ct and Esher , eschewed le col de la boîte , returned via Leatherhead, Ashford , Epsom , Surbiton , Lower Sunbury , Bushy Park. Lovely day , bright and windy.
Hey hey ! got April's in early, the joy of having plenty of free time. April 1 eight laps of RP and a bit of an extended tootle on the way home.
April 8 , four laps anti of RP. The wind was dreadful going up Sawyers. Yearned for some flat road so I went through Kingston to Chertsey , and back with a few diversions.
April 21 , eight laps of RP then back via Richmond to make up the numbers. Windy early afternoon in RP ! What a surprise.
April 24 , to Windsor via Virginia Water , back via VW , Esher , and one lap of RP
April 29 , to Windsor via Virginia Water , back via VW , one lap of RP and some rootling around in Ham to make up the numbers.
May 5 , wind power must be the energy source of the future judging by what I have just cycled in. Four laps of RP anti , Sawyers was like cycling up a wall , off to Chertsey in to the wind , back via Teddington.
May 12 , ouch that hurt. Forced myself out despite the high winds as opportunities will be limited in the next week or so. Kingston to Windsor via Virginia Water and back again via VW. Possibly my slowest ever lap of RP and a roll around the back streets of Ham to complete the job. Oh well , no pain no gain!
May 25 , Kingston to Windsor and back via Virginia Water. One slow lap of RP in a Bank Holiday Monday bambi-watching convoy and a bit of rootling around.
May 29 , Kingston to Twyford with Stubbo , 30 miles , then back on my own , strangely racking up another 40 , but navigation was never my strongest point !
June 01 , Kingston to Bray via Virginia Water and Ascot , back via Windsor and VW. Needed a couple of extra miles at the end so it was slowly up Star and Garter hill and back via RP.
June 17 , route much the same as on 1st June except I didn't get to Bray , but navigation was never my strongest point ! Traffic jams around Ascot slowed me down but I did get to see some well dressed people in a car park drinking Champagne.
June 23 , beautiful cycling day , and at last I managed nine laps anti of RP , plus there and back.
June 27 , as June 23 , what a lovely day for it , what a lot of other riders there !
July 1 , eight laps of RP , wilted in the sun and crept home via Petersham.
July 13 , eight laps of RP plus the requisite tootling on way home.
July 20 , a ride of two halves. 2.5 laps of RP , exit Roehampton Gate , up to Trafalgar Square, have a break and watch fourth plinth for a while , back to RP , couple of laps more.
Aug 3 Kingston to Windsor via Ascot , one lap of RP on return.
Aug 13 as Aug 3
Aug 18 nine laps of RP anti , there and back.
Sept 04 Kingston to Windsor via Ascot ; a bit of rootling around near the end. V windy.
Sept 08 A few 'half' laps of RP (due to roadworks) up to Traf Square, look at 4th plinth, and back.
Sept 19 Beautiful day. Kingston to Windsor via Ascot. Up and down Bushy Park a few times on way back. 16.3 mph yowzah !
Sept 25 Tried new loop of about 15 miles. Kingston-Sunbury-Walton-Esher-Kingston , KSWEK x 4.
Oct 12 My new Winter route , KSWEK x 4 , hasn't the start of Oct been benign , we'll pay for this.
Oct 23 KSWEK x 3 + RP x 2
Oct 26 KSWEK x 3 + RP x 2 , can't believe this weather !
Nov 24 KSWEK x 4 , can't believe that wind !
Dec 02 KSWEK x 4 , where did that rain come from ?

But enough of my problems , here is what made and continues to make it worthwhile .....
