Miles: 102
Monday was a blustery washout, but I got underway on Tuesday afternoon for half an hour, then did another 30 minutes worth in the evening despite light drizzle. Wednesday was clear and cold so I nipped out for 45 minutes in the afternoon, advancing to 26 miles. An evening ride took me to 34 in total. Thursday afternoon was drizzly so that forced me to stay in. However, I got out in the evening for 8 miles, pushing on to 44 miles in the process. Friday's weather was much better, so I took myself out for a good hour and came home with 61 miles. Rain has started to arrive in the evening when I decided to get back out there, but I did another 8 anyway and finished the day on 69 miles.
Saturday was dank and drizzly but I cycled into town on my customary Saturday afternoon trip, then topped that up with half an hour's ride after I'd returned home. I had an appointment at the pub in the evening, so closed the day on 86 miles. It was raining when I got up on Sunday and didn't stop until 8 in the evening. There was also a ferocious gale blowing from the east to contend with. I finally dragged myself out at 9:30 in the evening and came home a bit later with 102 miles in the bag. Phew. Now that's dedication.

The second slowest 100 on record due my still creaking, knackered bike.
