Pet Barn to Exlade Street then home - 20 miles

Being the last day of the month, I had been keeping an eye on how many miles I had cycled this month. Last month I cycled almost twice as much as normal and did 366 miles. This month, as of yesterday, I was up to 388! So just for fun, today I wanted to do at least 12 more to make it to 400. John was a few miles behind me, but only by about 12 or so.

Friends has invited us for lunch in their garden, so rather than arrive in a lather, I drove the van to the Pet Barn, where I met John who cycled from home. From there, just 5 miles to our friends house, so a wee bit short of me doing me target there and back. I decided then to ride home, whilst John went back to the Pet Barn and drove the van home. This meant we both manged to reach our 400 miles goal.

It was a warm day, and following social distancing, we had a lovely BBQ lunch and a tour of their garden.
