This is 14 consecutive biking days. I went on a shorter route today, &#8220;Oakhurst &#8211; Valley Ranch&#8221;, for a total of <strong>30.23 miles<\/strong>. This put my June total at <strong>775 miles<\/strong>, 200 short of my goal. There are 3 more biking days this month (I will not be able to ride on Thursday) which means I will not reach my goal but I could be within 100 miles of it which is closer than I expected a week ago. This week I biked <strong>258.5 miles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The weather was hot again with scattered clouds and 9 mph SE wind. It didn&#8217;t feel like it was 93 to 95 degrees though. I did appreciate the shade on some of the streets where old trees covered the street for a lot or more. My home weather is below.<\/p>\n<p>Riding &#8220;Oakhurst &#8211; Valley Ranch&#8221; does not include the leg to Cumberland and back but I added Valley Ranch Parkway to US59 north of the new shopping center under construction. No rest break today except for a couple of minutes to stop at the Texaco at the Valley Ranch entrance for ice and water refill. Two pictures I took while I was there.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/MlWPuM67y349vqBrTI9Z0JMhA808kAZP24_OPpymsIfiZj7A6QnLmBD-6opbj4mM3EgpLYsNBYzcHa0olJIg-hbmTx21cyV7w0MwUHJ_CQ1Totx4BujBiBsxypb1wxKL_OT-8c0hkrRk0TRjImDmIHNwQMcAoh_dxWfL6EMHsdyVDKLsf0bjx_KjcXbRvWfy4zOUih3Gct-fX_tikuqf0MUzCxjr9sjkcCgB6eeSqwm6hiH4p0hl9rZ9yAQxvR-BgtlRDZvncsg8qpWCEFDk-PdKXaIQhwwerwFve47tBiiUmZm4eisCFQcaD904whK29Xsth5JvTiPQOd6IzIuF0wmhOu5ggmdUdVVJ3v_DJw7ZJzz0W_M1Bb-efZSiqtWjSZz0255KqyZOfze1xI3XWR-fRfwBiuzZE5bDkx-1rPciUxaLtsPRp-xsM_U7yNP6t2KbOTGzfucRYXs4gdB27VqBhG3RF-s284tZV7D0tZZxD1YP7dXtGk3AAX5xFLd7R9jCdhZKcU0SAoHdV4BEIggbIs2AVF94HTa3IeS5nKSiz0mppGqbQm7C2dHs6rZR7o0GmGCVuZTyr-UR47CjTTOHYk8wjOY=w1670-h1249-no\" width=\"700\" height=\"524\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/NRCXTx_ibdoYTBifQPIsqS3yrVcJbEYngpbllhIf2TZBVZ4pgw5s5OKKydXw2G5pYV9DZCO1zVdrNonJCrmIMBe_g-Nw3CdHRemt2upTMmW07_6HlMLHa_ounsFy2JWy9e1ddpczrp44qh3S7OXyswPJsj8K940GD2IXIReVDfvcZtT98_JtxVKzJyPbmwezK8bwFToNj-r7giRlDNytSY3DedYQ8fH5lmOVGULTWVTU11DWGoat2RzJFW0vVzgYtptUh6vY9cMIIyfrbESU0BpnEYUxNG5Ye3yriyHRX_aHLQg9gF1iSBad3hAXJjV_PFbc-WEkFFOBqAgP24SQ3uM_fGY9TBh4fbEzeOedmQTmuAkQqpChBbMlmn2PiXzLP8lSuuz_YDQO7FvZmIbyvvzVL9mPA8IEvJ_95T7PU1fsgCll1yZZVOYCo89d6U4qbCxfUuqvvGdE0VBZb4vA0-Gn7zRsWjElpX6aJ9_YookBNIrgBXmPe3oQZVZ9d7w60FE924H_mbDcUtmVeJ94VApb8_cPLbeB1NlO-UK8FL8UcI2GBn2dtUAikVnotosQpd16ytTQs6Kds5AkfVZZWX0qJz907Vw=w1670-h1249-no\" width=\"700\" height=\"524\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I did not eat any custard, burgers or glaciers.
