When I got home I watched the highlights of the men&#8217;s and women&#8217;s Gent-Wevelgem races before getting ready for my bike ride. I rolled the Lynskey R300 bike outside and punched the &#8220;start&#8221; button on the Bolt computer at 1:34 PM. I chose the &#8220;Forest Cove &#8211; Oakhurst &#8211; Valley Ranch&#8221; for the third time this year. I was close to a 200 mile week and this route was long enough to get there. Finishing at 3:38 PM I rode 27.76 miles pushing me over the 200 mile mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/3-27-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Forest-Cove-Oakhurst-Valley-Ranch.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"230\" data-attachment-id=\"58806\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/3-27-2022-ytd-bike-rides-summary-forest-cove-oakhurst-valley-ranch\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/3-27-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Forest-Cove-Oakhurst-Valley-Ranch.png?fit=1828%2C350&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1828,350\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"3-27-2022 YTD Bike Rides Summary Forest Cove &amp;#8211; Oakhurst &amp;#8211; Valley Ranch\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;3-27-2022 YTD Bike Rides Summary Forest Cove &amp;#8211; Oakhurst &amp;#8211; Valley Ranch&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;3-27-2022 YTD Bike Rides Summary Forest Cove &amp;#8211; Oakhurst &amp;#8211; Valley Ranch&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/3-27-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Forest-Cove-Oakhurst-Valley-Ranch.png?fit=600%2C115&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/3-27-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Forest-Cove-Oakhurst-Valley-Ranch.png?fit=800%2C153&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/3-27-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Forest-Cove-Oakhurst-Valley-Ranch.png?resize=1200%2C230&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"3-27-2022 YTD Bike Rides Summary Forest Cove - Oakhurst - Valley Ranch\" class=\"wp-image-58806\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/3-27-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Forest-Cove-Oakhurst-Valley-Ranch.png?w=1828&amp;ssl=1 1828w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/3-27-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Forest-Cove-Oakhurst-Valley-Ranch.png?resize=600%2C115&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/3-27-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Forest-Cove-Oakhurst-Valley-Ranch.png?resize=800%2C153&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/3-27-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Forest-Cove-Oakhurst-Valley-Ranch.png?resize=640%2C123&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/3-27-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Summary-Forest-Cove-Oakhurst-Valley-Ranch.png?resize=1536%2C294&amp;ssl=1 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>3-27-2022 YTD Bike Rides Summary Forest Cove &#8211; Oakhurst &#8211; Valley Ranch<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The week&#8217;s total of 223.74 miles was slightly less than last week&#8217;s 225.51 miles.
