The Lynskey Helix may have felt left out so I rode it today after taking the day off for the 4th of July. This was the 6th ride on the route in 2024. Today&#8217;s 38.05 miles is about the average of all those rides getting to 144.7 miles for the month with 785 miles to go for my 930 mile goal. Not riding yesterday put me right on the pace to reach the goal but I prefer a cushion for unexpected things like the weather. I didn&#8217;t see anything out of the ordinary. I stopped to take these photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure
