I want to get comfortable riding the Trek since this was only my third ride on it. The week was 200+ miles and with only 7 miles to reach May&#8217;s 749 mile goal seemed like a good time to ride the Trek. I rode by several village pools and all were open with people enjoying them. Riding 14.45 miles put me over my goal with several days to spare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Weather: Start 89 degrees, humidity 72%, dew point 79.2, cloud cover 35%, wind S 10 mph
