I used to get an email with them but recently that stopped so now I go to the website which takes a little longer. With that out of the way I started today&#8217;s bike ride at 9:42 AM riding my Lynskey Helix bike on my <em>Community Drive &#8211; Cumberland &#8211; Oakhurst<\/em> route. The last time I rode my Lynskey bike that direction but not the same route on <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sporttracks.mobi\/activity\/30027343\">September 7th<\/a><\/strong> I had a flat tire but no such drama on today&#8217;s bike ride. That was great. I biked 35.11 miles and improved my week&#8217;s total to 181 miles, well within reach of a 200+ mile week. Tomorrow I&#8217;m biking the Rollin&#8217; Pearland ride to add that total. Today was the 6th time biking this route in 2022.<\/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\/09\/9-23-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Community-Drive-Cumberland-Oakhurst.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"289\" data-attachment-id=\"60190\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/9-23-2022-ytd-bike-rides-community-drive-cumberland-oakhurst\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/9-23-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Community-Drive-Cumberland-Oakhurst.jpg?fit=1838%2C442&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1838,442\" 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=\"9-23-2022 YTD Bike Rides Community Drive-Cumberland-Oakhurst\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;9-23-2022 YTD Bike Rides Community Drive-Cumberland-Oakhurst&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;9-23-2022 YTD Bike Rides Community Drive-Cumberland-Oakhurst&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/9-23-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Community-Drive-Cumberland-Oakhurst.jpg?fit=600%2C144&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/9-23-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Community-Drive-Cumberland-Oakhurst.jpg?fit=800%2C192&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/9-23-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Community-Drive-Cumberland-Oakhurst.jpg?resize=1200%2C289&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"9-23-2022 YTD Bike Rides Community Drive-Cumberland-Oakhurst\" class=\"wp-image-60190\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/9-23-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Community-Drive-Cumberland-Oakhurst.jpg?w=1838&amp;ssl=1 1838w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/9-23-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Community-Drive-Cumberland-Oakhurst.jpg?resize=600%2C144&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/9-23-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Community-Drive-Cumberland-Oakhurst.jpg?resize=800%2C192&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/9-23-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Community-Drive-Cumberland-Oakhurst.jpg?resize=640%2C154&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/9-23-2022-YTD-Bike-Rides-Community-Drive-Cumberland-Oakhurst.jpg?resize=1536%2C369&amp;ssl=1 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>9-23-2022 YTD Bike Rides Community Drive-Cumberland-Oakhurst<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I altered the route slightly to be sure I rode at least 34 miles adding a longer loop through Brooklyn Trails and lengthening the greenbelt trail section in the first mile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Summer like weather continues to hang around but I finished at 12:34 PM before the real hot part of the day.
