The books that I read in October. I’m thinking for November I might focus more on stories featuring exciting car chases / amiable buffoons / etc.

Last Friday I did a 103 km ride & broke my best time for 100kms by 17 minutes and 18 seconds.

I knew it would be fast, thought I might take 5 mins off, but 17 was surprising.

Today I did my 60km home to Barfoot street to home circuit in under 2 hours for the first time. 89 days no break.

#cycling
Screenshot from Garmin connect showing I did a 100km ride on Friday, followed by 60km rides every day since, with a total distance of 465.5kms for a week. Underneath it records I have an 89 day streak of cycling activities. To the right it shows today's ride, where I did the 60.79km circuit from home to Brfoot st to home in under 2 hours for the first time.
