With my July goal in hand today&#8217;s miles got me closer to 900 for the month (839.2 miles now). For the second ride in a row I used my Canyon Endurace bike wheels down at 8:47 AM finishing at 11:52 AM at 36.5 miles. The week&#8217;s miles now is 117.23. No cyclist spotted during the ride, those usually happen when I ride south and east. The dew point was lower and the air felt cool as I rode, a pleasant feeling. The Canyon bike now has 802 miles. It rides so smooth. This was the 7th ride on the route in 2023 and today&#8217;s miles was the average distance. I&#8217;ve used 3 different bikes this year: Cervelo 4 rides, Canyon 2 rides, and Lynskey 1 ride. I reclaimed the Strava <strong>Local Legend<\/strong>\u00a0on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/9526296751\/segments\/3119327436542592444\">Trikelly<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
